• Equivalent Capacity Limits
• Harmonic content (Values of the fundamental current is 100%)
• Calculation of equivalent capacity P0 of harmonic generating equipment
"Equivalent capacity" is the capacity of a 6-pulse converter converted from the capacity of consumer's harmonic generating
equipment and is calculated by the following equation: If the sum of equivalent capacities is higher than the limit in Table 3,
harmonics must be calculated with the following procedure:
• Calculation of outgoing harmonic current
Outgoing harmonic current = fundamental wave current (value converted from received power voltage)
operation ratio
harmonic content
• Operation ratio: Operation ratio = actual load factor operation time ratio during 30 minutes
• Harmonic content: Found in Table 4.
• Rated capacities and outgoing harmonic currents of inverter-driven motors

P0 = (Ki Pi) [kVA]
Rated capacity: Determined by the capacity of the applied
motor and found in Table 5. The rated capacity used here
is used to calculate the generated harmonic amount and
is different from the power supply capacity required for
actual inverter drive.
