Measures to reduce bearing currents
To specifically reduce and prevent damage caused by bearing currents, consider the system
as a whole, which comprises the motor, converter, and driven machine. The following
precautions help to prevent bearing currents:
● Setting up a properly meshed grounding system in the system as a whole, with low
impedance for high-frequency currents
● No potential difference between the motor, converter, and working machine.
– Use symmetrical, shielded connecting cables.
– Connect the cable shield at both ends over the greatest possible surface area (360°
contact).
– Use equipotential bonding conductors between the motor and the driven machine as
well as between the motor and the converter
● Limit the voltage rate of rise by using an output filter to dampen harmonic components in
the output voltage
4.14.2
Insulated bearings for converter operation
If the machine is operated with a low-voltage converter such as SINAMICS G150 / S150 /
S120, then an insulated bearing and a speed encoder with insulated bearings (option) is
mounted at the non-drive end.
For 1PH818, the insulated bearings are optional; for 1PH822 and 1PH828, insulated bearings
are standard.
Comply with the plates on the machine relating to bearing insulation and possible bridges.
