Decrease Noise

Note:
The main circuit terminal block for the drive and the terminal block for the noise filter come in different shapes. Use caution when you
prepare the ends of the wires.

Connect a Noise Filter to the Input Side (Primary Side)

High-speed switching makes noise in the drive output. This noise flows from the drive to the power supply, and
can possibly have an effect on other equipment. Install a noise filter to the input side of the drive to decrease the
quantity of noise that flows to the power supply. A noise filter also prevents noise from entering the drive from the
power supply.
• Use a noise filter specially designed for drives.
• Install the noise filter as close as possible to the drive.

B - Input side (primary side) noise
filter
Note:
The input side (primary side) noise filter model is LNFD-xx.

Connect a Noise Filter to the Output Side (Secondary Side)

A noise filter on the output side of the drive decreases inductive noise and radio frequency interference.
A - Power supply
B - Drive
Figure 3.60 Example of Connecting the Noise Filter on the Output Side (Secondary Side)
NOTICE: Do not connect phase-advancing capacitors or LC/RC noise filters to the output circuits. Failure to obey can cause
damage to the drive, phase-advancing capacitors, LC/RC noise filters, and leakage breakers (ELCB, GFCI, or RCM/RCD).
Glossary
• Radio frequency interference:
Electromagnetic waves radiated from the drive and cables make noise through the full radio bandwidth that can
have an effect on nearby devices.
• Inductive noise:
The noise from electromagnetic induction can have an effect on the signal line and can cause the controller to
malfunction.
