• Calculation of equivalent capacity P0 of harmonic generating equipment
"Equivalent capacity" is the capacity of a 6-pulse converter converted from the capacity of consumer's harmonic generating
equipment and is calculated by the following equation: If the sum of equivalent capacities is higher than the limit in (refer to
), harmonics must be calculated with the following procedure:
• Calculation of outgoing harmonic current
Outgoing harmonic current = fundamental wave current (value converted from received power voltage)

operation ratio
×
harmonic content
• Operation ratio: Operation ratio = actual load factor
×
operation time ratio during 30 minutes
• Harmonic content: Found in
• Rated capacities and outgoing harmonic currents of inverter-driven motors
• Determining if a countermeasure is required
A countermeasure for harmonics is required if the following condition is satisfied: outgoing harmonic current > maximum
value per 1 kW contract power

Rated capacity: Determined by the capacity of the
applied motor and found in Table 5. The rated
capacity used here is used to calculate the generated
harmonic amount and is different from the power
supply capacity required for actual inverter drive.

Description
1
Reactor installation
(FR-HAL)
The converter unit (FR-CC2) is equipped with the DC reactor on its DC side, and outgoing harmonic
current can be suppressed. By installing an AC reactor (FR-HAL) on the AC side of the inverter, the
outgoing harmonic current suppression performance can be improved.
2
high power factor
converter
(FR-HC2)
This converter trims the current waveform to be a sine waveform by switching the rectifier circuit
(converter module) with transistors. Doing so suppresses the generated harmonic amount significantly.
Connect it to the DC area of an inverter. Use the high power factor converter (FR-HC2) with the
accessories that come as standard.
3
Installation of power
factor improving
capacitor
When used with a reactor connected in series, the power factor improving correction capacitor can
absorb harmonic currents.
4
Transformer multi-phase
operation
Use two transformers with a phase angle difference of 30° as in -
Δ
and
Δ
-
Δ
combinations to provide an
effect corresponding to 12 pulses, reducing low-degree harmonic currents.
5
Passive filter
(AC filter)
A capacitor and a reactor are used together to reduce impedances at specific frequencies. Harmonic
currents are expected to be absorbed greatly by using this technique.
6
Active filter
(Active filter)
This filter detects the current in a circuit generating a harmonic current and generates a harmonic current
equivalent to a difference between that current and a fundamental wave current to suppress the
harmonic current at the detection point. Harmonic currents are expected to be absorbed greatly by using
this technique.
