PRECAUTIONS FOR USE OF THE INVERTER
3.1.4 Harmonic Suppression Guidelines
Harmonic currents flow from the inverter to a power receiving point via a power transformer. The Harmonic
Suppression Guidelines were established to protect other consumers from these outgoing harmonic currents.
The three-phase 200V input specifications 3.7kW or less are previously covered by "Harmonic Suppression Guidelines
for Household Appliances and General-purpose Products" and other models are covered by "Harmonic Suppression
Guidelines for Consumers Who Receive High Voltage or Special High Voltage". However, the general-purpose inverter
has been excluded from the target products covered by "Harmonic Suppression Guidelines for Household Appliances
and General-purpose Products" in January 2004. Later, this guideline was repealed on 6 September 2004. All
capacities of all models are now target products of "Harmonic Suppression Guidelines for Consumers Who Receive
High Voltage or Special High Voltage" (hereinafter referred to as "Specific Consumer Guidelines").
"Specific Consumer Guidelines"
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.
