Switching frequency filter
The AC input terminals of a Regen drive produce a PWM output voltage, which has a sinusoidal component at line frequency, plus significant
harmonics at the switching frequency and its multiples.
This filter prevents switching frequency harmonic currents getting back into the supply. If the filter is not fitted, the presence of currents in the kHz
region could cause supply problems or disturbance to other equipment.
N
The switching frequency filter inductors need to be rated to the total current requirement.
The following inductors are standard 3-phase inductors (rated at drive rated current for a single Regen system or rated at total current requirement for
multiple Regen system), they carry only 50/60Hz current with a negligible amount of high frequency current.
The capacitors specified below are suitable for operation at any switching frequency. These capacitors are sized for operation at 3kHz however
operation above 3kHz is possible with the capacitors being more effective.

Protection
An MCB should be fitted between the AC supply and the capacitor. This is to protect the wiring between the capacitor and the main bus bar.
N
For multiple Regen systems, refer to Appendix B Component sizing calculations on page 36 for sizing of the MCB.
