Output Filters
The high speed switching of the frequency converter
produces some secondary effects, which influence the
motor and the enclosed environment. These side ef-
fects are addressed by two different filter types, -the
du/dt and the Sine-wave filter.
dU/dt filters
Motor insulation stresses are often caused by the com-
bination of rapid voltage and current increase. The
rapid energy changes can also be reflected back to the
DC-line in the inverter and cause shut down. The du/
dt filter is designed to reduce the voltage rise time/the
rapid energy change in the motor and by that inter-
vention avoid premature aging and flashover in the
motor insulation. du/dt filters have a positive influence
on the radiation of magnetic noise in the cable that
connects the drive to the motor. The voltage wave form
is still pulse shaped but the du/dt ratio is reduced in
comparison with the installation without filter.
Sine-wave filters
Sine-wave filters are designed to let only low frequen-
cies pass. High frequencies are consequently shunted
away which results in a sinusoidal phase to phase
voltage waveform and sinusoidal current waveforms.
With the sinusoidal waveforms the use of special fre-
quency converter motors with reinforced insulation is
no longer needed. The acoustic noise from the motor
is also damped as a consequence of the wave condi-
tion.
Besides the features of the du/dt filter, the sine-wave
filter also reduces insulation stress and bearing cur-
rents in the motor thus leading to prolonged motor
lifetime and longer periods between services. Sine-
wave filters enable use of longer motor cables in ap-
plications where the motor is installed far from the
drive. The length is unfortunately limited because the
filter does not reduce leakage currents in the cables.
