Graphs illustrating the effect of the du/dt filter
The graphs show the peak line-to-line voltage ( Û
LL
) and voltage change (du/dt) at
the motor terminals as a function of the motor cable length. Û
LL
and du/dt are scaled
to the nominal line-to-line voltage ( U
N
). To calculate the actual peak voltage value in
volts and du/dt value in volts per microsecond, multiply the values of the graph by
the supply voltage (
U
N
).
The values in the first graph are measured with an ABB du/dt filter while the second
graph without any output filtering. The values in the second graph are only
representative. The actual unfiltered du/dt values depend on the drive type, and are
usually in the range of 1 to 5 kV/microsecond.
In case of drives with an IGBT supply unit or resistor braking, the Û
LL
and du/dt
values are approximately 20% higher.
The voltage rise time can be calculated as follows: t = 0.8 · Û
LL
/(du/dt).
