1.10.7 Power harmonic suppression guideline
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 harmonics.
1)[Harmonic suppression guideline for household appliances and general-purpose
products]
The "harmonic suppression guideline for household appliances and general-
purpose products" issued by Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (formerly
Ministry of International Trade and Industries) in September, 1994 applies to the
FR-C500 series. By installing the FR-BEL or FR-BAL power factor improving
reactor, this product complies with the "harmonic suppression techniques for
transistorized inverters (input current 20A or less)" established by the Japan
Electrical Manufacturers' Association.
2)[Harmonic suppression guideline for specific consumers]
This guideline sets forth the maximum values of harmonic currents outgoing from a
high-voltage or specially 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.
