VES Short Case Axial Fans are suitable for operation with frequency inverters when the
following points are observed:
Between the inverter and the motor, sinusoidal filters should be incorporated which are
effective for all phases (sinusoidal output voltage, phase against phase, phase against
protective conductor) as offered by manufacturers.
du/dt filters (also called motor or suppression filters) cannot be used in place of
sinusoidal filters.
When using sinusoidal filters, screened motor leads, metal terminal boxes and a
second earth connection to the motor can, if necessary, be omitted. Checkback by the
supplier of the sinusoidal filter.
If the operational leakage current exceeds 3.5 mA, earthing in compliance with EN 50 178,
