Harmonics suppression measures
1. All servo amplifier models are applicable to the "guideline of harmonics suppression measures for
high voltage or extra high voltage consumers" if they are used at a specific consumer. If you are a
consumer to whom the guideline is applicable, calculate the equivalent capacity and harmonics
outflow current and, if the harmonics current exceeds the limit predetermined for the contract
wattage, take adequate countermeasures. (For details, refer to JEM-TR225.)
2. The servo amplifier was excluded from the target of "guideline of harmonics suppression
measures for electric appliances and general-purpose products" in January 2004. However,
JEMA prepares a JEMA technical document in the view point of educating general harmonics
suppression measures. It is recommended to take harmonics suppression measures of the
discrete device as far as possible. (For details, refer to JEM-TR227.)

Limitations set in the guideline for harmonics suppression measures are satisfied if the servo
amplifier is connected with an AC reactor.
