Harmonic Suppression Guideline In Japan - Mitsubishi Electric FR-E720-0.1 K Instruction Manual

3.1.4

Harmonic suppression guideline in Japan

Harmonic currents flow from the inverter to a power receiving point via a power transformer. The harmonic suppression
guideline was established to protect other consumers from these outgoing harmonic currents.
The three-phase 200V input specifications 3.7kW or less (single-phase 200V power input model 2.2kW or less, single-phase
100V power input model 0.75kW) are previously covered by "Harmonic suppression guideline for household appliances and
general-purpose products" and other models are covered by "Harmonic suppression guideline for consumers who receive
high voltage or special high voltage". However, the transistorized inverter has been excluded from the target products covered
by "Harmonic suppression guideline for household appliances and general-purpose products" in January 2004 and "Harmonic
suppression guideline for household appliances and general-purpose products" was repealed on September 6, 2004.
All capacity and all models of general-purpose inverter used by specific consumers are covered by "Harmonic suppression
guideline for consumers who receive high voltage or special high voltage" (hereinafter referred to as "Guideline for specific
consumers").
"Guideline for specific consumers"
This guideline sets forth the maximum values of harmonic currents outgoing from a high-voltage or especially high-voltage
consumer who will install, add or renew harmonic generating equipment. If any of the maximum values is exceeded, this
guideline requires that consumer to take certain suppression measures.

* K42=0.35 is a value when the reactor value is 20%. Since a 20% reactor is large and considered to be not practical, K42=1.67 is written as conversion
factor for a 5% reactor in the technical data JEM-TR201 of The Japan Electrical Manufacturers' Association and this value is recommended for calculation
for the actual practice.
