4. HOW TO SELECT
Selection Guide
MTE’s SineWave Nexus motor protection filters are designed to provide a sine wave output voltage
when driven from PWM inverters with switching frequencies from 2 kHz to 8 kHz. For drive
applications, these filters eliminate the problem of motor insulation failures and they also reduce
electromagnetic interference by eliminating the high dV/dt associated with inverter output wave
forms.
SineWave Nexus motor protection filters are available in Modular, NEMA 1/2, and NEMA 3R
mechanical configurations.
Please verify information below for proper selection:
Lead Length
: This product is suitable for applications with motor leads up to 15,000 ft.
Contact MTE Application Engineering for possible longer applications.
Voltage
: Input voltage from 380V – 600V. See Table 3-1: Performance Specifications
for specification.
Current Rating
: Support for 2 Amps – 160 Amps.
Switching Frequency
: Support for carrier frequency of 2kHz – 8kHz; see Table 3-1:
. (Optimal performance achieved @ 4kHz)
Drive Output Frequency
: Support for 6Hz to 75Hz without derating, >75Hz to 120Hz with
derating. See Figure 3-6: Motor Frequency Derating
for derating curve.
Temperature
: Maximum ambient temperature, 60C (modular), 55C (enclosed). See Table
3-1: Performance Specifications
for specification.
Altitude
: 3,300 feet above sea level without derating, see Figure 3-5: Altitude Derating
for derating curve.
Enclosure Type
: Modular, NEMA 1/2 & NEMA 3R, see Enclosures
for enclosure
descriptions.
Verify the drive output can be configured to Volts per Hz mode.
Refer to Article 430 Table 430.91 of the National Electrical code for the selection of the
appropriate enclosure Type Number for your application.
