10.16.4 Harmonic Compliance
Danfoss drives comply with the following standards:
•
IEC61000-2-4
•
IEC61000-3-4
•
G5/4
10.16.5 Harmonic Mitigation
In cases where extra harmonic suppression is required, Danfoss oers the following mitigation equipment:
•
VLT
®
12-pulse Drives
•
VLT
®
Low Harmonic Drives
•
VLT
®
Advanced Harmonic Filters
•
VLT
®
Advanced Active Filters
Selecting the right solution depends on several factors:
•
The grid (background distortion, mains unbalance, resonance, and type of supply (transformer/generator).
•
Application (load
prole, number of loads, and load size).
•
Local/national requirements/regulations (such as IEEE 519, IEC, and G5/4).
•
Total cost of ownership (initial cost, eciency, and maintenance).
10.16.6 Harmonic Calculation
Use the free Danfoss MCT 31 calculation software to determine the degree of voltage pollution on the grid and needed
precaution. The VLT
®
Harmonic Calculation MCT 31 is available at www.danfoss.com.
