3.9.4 Power supply harmonics
The inverter may generate power supply harmonics from its converter circuit to affect the power
generator, power capacitor etc. Power supply harmonics are different from noise and leakage
currents in source, frequency band and transmission path. Take the following countermeasure
suppression techniques.
●
Measures
The harmonic current generated from the inverter to the input side differs according to
various conditions such as the wiring impedance, whether a reactor is used or not, and
output frequency and output current on the load side.
For the output frequency and output current, we understand that they should be calculated
in the conditions under the rated load at the maximum operating frequency.

CAUTION:
The power factor improving capacitor and surge suppressor on the inverter output
side may be overheated or damaged by the harmonic components of the inverter
output. Also, since an excessive current flows in the inverter to activate over current
protection, do not provide a capacitor and surge suppressor on the inverter output
side when the motor is driven by the inverter. For power factor improvement, install
a reactor on the inverter input side or in the DC circuit.
