Motor cable length
The table below shows the maximum motor cable lengths for
400 V drives with different switching frequencies. Examples for
using the table are also given.
Under heading “Operational limits”, the “Basic unit” columns
define the cable lengths with which the basic drive unit works
without problems within the drive specification, without installing
any further options. Column “With du/dt filters” defines the cable
lengths when an external du/dt filter is used.
The columns under heading “EMC limits” show the maximum
cable lengths with which the units have been tested for EMC
emissions. The factory guarantees that these cable lengths
meet the EMC standard requirements.
If external sine filters are installed, longer cable lengths can be
used. With sine filters the limiting factors are the voltage drop of
the cable, which has to be taken into account in engineering, as
well as the EMC limits (where applicable).
The default switching frequency is 4 kHz.
WARNING! Using a motor cable longer than specified in the
table above may cause permanent damage to the drive.
