In recent years, there is an increasing concern about harmonic currents generated from industrial
machinery.
The following provides an overview of harmonics and measures against harmonics implemented in this
inverter.

Harmonics
The voltage or current whose frequency is an
integral multiple of certain standard frequency
(base frequency) is called a harmonic.
If a commercial power supply frequency of 60 Hz
(50 Hz) is the reference frequency, the harmonics
of that signal is:
x2 = 120 Hz (100 Hz),
x3 = 180 Hz (150 Hz),
and so on.

Reason why harmonics cause problems
As the number of harmonics increases, the wave-
form of the commercial supply has more distor-
tion. This distortion causes the malfunction of the
connected equipment or leads to abnormal heat
generation.
