Harmonic Suppression Guidelines in Japan

Inverters have a converter section (rectifier circuit) and generate a harmonic current.
Harmonic currents flow from the inverter to a power receiving point via a power transformer. The Harmonic Suppression
Guidelines was established to protect other consumers from these outgoing harmonic currents.
The three-phase 200 V input specifications 3.7 kW or lower were previously covered by "the Harmonic Suppression
Guidelines for Household Appliances and General-purpose Products" and other models were covered by "the Harmonic
Suppression Guidelines for Consumers Who Receive High Voltage or Special High Voltage". However, the transistorized
inverter has been excluded from the target products covered by "the Harmonic Suppression Guidelines for Household
Appliances and General-purpose Products" in January 2004 and "the Harmonic Suppression Guideline for Household
Appliances and General-purpose Products" was repealed on September 6, 2004.
All capacity and all models of general-purpose inverter used by specific consumers are now covered by "the Harmonic
Suppression Guidelines for Consumers Who Receive High Voltage or Special High Voltage" (hereinafter referred to as "the
Specific Consumer Guidelines").
• "Specific Consumer Guidelines"
This guideline sets forth the maximum harmonic currents outgoing from a high-voltage or especially high-voltage receiving
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.
