Integrated harmonic mitigation Specifications
In compliance with IEC/EN 61000-3-2/ Mains supply (L1, L2, L3)
61000-3-12, the integrated DC chokes 200-240 V (-15%/+10%)
Supply voltage
for all 3-phase units reduce harmonics 380-480 V (-15%/+10%)
to less than 48% THDi. Supply frequency 50/60 Hz
For single-phase units the harmonics Displacement power factor (cos φ) Near unity (> 0.98)
are less than 8% thanks to the Switching frequency on input supply L1, L2, L3 Switching maximum 2 times/minute
