■ Harmonics suppression measures (for Japan)
(1) All models of the servo amplifier used by the special customer are applicable to "guideline of
harmonics suppression measures for high voltage or special high voltage customers." The
guideline requires the customer to calculate the equivalent capacity and harmonics outflow current
according to the guideline and, if the harmonics current exceeds the limit stipulated for the
contract wattage, corresponding countermeasures must be taken.
For details, refer to JEM-TR225.
(2) The servo amplifier was excluded from the scope of "guideline of harmonics suppression measure
for electric appliances and general purpose products" from January 2004. JEMA is preparing a
new technical document in the position to educate total harmonics suppression measures.
Harmonics suppression measures of the discrete device should be taken as far as possible.
