(2) Values of "Ki (conversion factor)"
Depending on whether an optional ACR (AC reactor) or DCR (DC reactor) is used, apply the
appropriate conversion factor specified in the appendix to the guideline. The values of the conversion
factor are listed in Table B.3.

(3) Exception to this guideline
Inverters whose inputs are 115V or 230V lines and capacities are 5 HP or less are an exception to this
guideline.
Those excluded inverters are already regulated by the "Japanese guideline for suppressing harmonics in
home electric and general-purpose appliances" so that all of them are not regulated by this guideline
regardless of the quantity of the units used by a single customer.
[ 2 ] Calculation of Harmonic Current
(1) Value of "input fundamental current"
- When you calculate the amount of harmonics according to Table 2 in Appendix of the Guideline, you have
to previously know the input fundamental current.
- Apply the appropriate value shown in Table B.4 based on the kW rating of the motor, irrespective of
the inverter type or whether a reactor is used.
If the input voltage is different, calculate the input fundamental current in inverse proportion
to the voltage.
