The output voltage of the sinusoidal filter (U~
)
achieves a sinusoidal shape
with a slight superimposed ripple voltage.
The THD factor of the sinusoidal voltage is normally 5 to 10 %.

Advantages of sinusoidal filters:
• Long motor cable lengths with reduced conducted and radiated interfer-
ence
• Reduced motor losses and noise
• Longer motor lifespan
Disadvantages of sinusoidal filters:
• Voltage drop of up to 9 % caused by system
(approx. 36 V if U
2
= 400 V)
• higher heat dissipation,
• A fixed pulse frequency is required
• Require more space inside the control panel
NOTICE
Sinusoidal filters must only be used with permanently set pulse
frequencies.
