du/dt and peak voltage on motor - Acoustic noise
When a transistor in the inverter is acti-
vated, the voltage applied to the motor will
rise by a du/dt ratio determined by
•
the motor cable (type, cross-section,
length, screened/unscreened)
•
Inductors
The self-inductance will cause an over-
shoot U
PEAK
in the motor voltage before it
stabilizes at a level determined by the volt-
age in the intermediate circuit.
Both the du/dt ratio and the peak voltage
U
PEAK
influence the lifetime of the motor. Too
high values will primarily affect motors with-
out phase coil insulation.
With short (few metres) motor cable, the
du/dt ratio will be very high but the peak
voltage very low. At long (100 metres)
motor cable du/dt will decrease and U
PEAK
will increase.
To ensure a reasonable lifetime of the
motor, the VLT
®
3000 Series has as
standard built-in motor coils which ensure a
du/dt and
peak voltage
on motor
low du/dt ratio value even with very short
motor cable.
Note:
When using very small motors without
phase coil insulation it is recommended to
mount a clamp filter or an LC-filter in
series after the VLT
®
.
Clamp filter, code no. 175H5147 (fits all
units in the VLT
®
types 3002 - 3052).
Typical values for the du/dt ratio and the
peak voltage U
PEAK
measured on the ter-
minals of the frequency converter between
two phases (30 m screened motor cable):

900 - 950 V measured with
20 m unscreened motor cable
The acoustic noise from the frequency
converter is generated from 3 sources:
1. D.C. (DC link) and AC coils
(motor coils).
2. RFI filter (acoustic noise increases
with the length of the motor cable).
3. Built-in fan.
Acoustic noise
Below are the typical values measured at a
distance of 1 metre from the unit and at full
load:
All units with built-in RFI filter and 100 m
screened motor cable.
For VLT
®
3011-52 the values will decrease
by approx. 2 dBA for units without RFI filter.
Thermal
motor protection
The motor temperature is calculated on the
basis of the motor current, output fre-
quency and time. See also description of
parameter 315.
