Power supply harmonics
3.2.1
Power supply harmonics
The inverter or the converter unit may generate power supply harmonics from its converter circuit to affect the power
generator, power factor correction 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.
• The differences between harmonics and noises
• Countermeasures
NOTE
• 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 overcurrent
protection, do not provide a capacitor and surge suppressor on the inverter output side when the motor is driven by the
inverter.
Item
Harmonics
Noise
Frequency
Normally 40th to 50th degrees or less (3
kHz or less).
High frequency (several 10 kHz to 1 GHz order).
Environment
To-electric channel, power impedance.
To-space, distance, wiring path,
Quantitative understanding
Theoretical calculation possible.
Random occurrence, quantitative grasping difficult.
Generated amount
Nearly proportional to the load capacity.
Changes with the current variation ratio. (Gets larger as
switching speed increases.)
Affected equipment immunity
Specified by standards per equipment.
Different depending on maker's equipment specifications.
Countermeasure
Provide a reactor.
Increase distance.
The harmonic current generated from the inverter or the converter
unit 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 this
should be calculated in the conditions under the rated load at the
maximum operating frequency.
The converter unit is equipped with the DC reactor.
