Sine filters
Sine filters protect the motor insulation system. Therefore, a du/dt filter can be replaced with a sine
filter. The peak phase-to-phase voltage with a sine filter is approximately 1.5 ×

.
Selecting the power cables
General rules
Dimension the input power and motor cables according to local regulations :
• Dimension the cable to carry the drive load current. See chapter Technical data
for the rated currents.
• Select a cable rated for at least 70
°
C maximum permissible temperature of
conductor in continuous use. For US, see Additional US requirements, page 79 .
• The inductance and impedance of the PE conductor/cable (grounding wire) must
be rated according to permissible touch voltage appearing under fault conditions
(so that the fault point voltage will not rise excessively when a ground fault
occurs).
• 600 V AC cable is accepted for up to 500 V AC. For 690 V AC rated equipment,
the rated voltage between the conductors of the cable should be minimum 1 kV.
Use symmetrical shielded motor cable, see page 76 . Ground the shield(s) of motor
cable(s) 360° at both ends.
Note: When continuous metal conduit is employed, shielded cable is not required.
The conduit must have bonding at both ends as with cable shield.
A four-conductor system is allowed for input cabling, but shielded symmetrical cable
is recommended.
