Noise Propagation
Path
When devices that handle low-level signals and are liable to malfunction due to electromagnetic noises,
e.g. instruments, receivers and sensors, are contained in the enclosure that contains the inverter or when
their signal cables are run near the inverter, the devices may be malfunctioned by air-propagated
electromagnetic noises. The following measures must be taken:
(1) Install easily affected devices as far away as possible from the inverter.
(2) Run easily affected signal cables as far away as possible from the inverter and its I/O cables.
1) 2) 3)
(3) Do not run the signal cables and power cables (inverter I/O cables) in parallel with each other and do
(4) Set the EMC filter ON/OFF connector of the inverter to the ON position. (Refer to page 15)
(5) Inserting a line noise filter into the output suppresses the radiation noise from the cables.
(6) Use shield cables as signal cables and power cables and run them in individual metal conduits to
When the signal cables are run in parallel with or bundled with the power cables, magnetic and static
induction noises may be propagated to the signal cables to malfunction the devices and the following
measures must be taken:
(1) Install easily affected devices as far away as possible from the inverter.
4) 5) 6) (2) Run easily affected signal cables as far away as possible from the I/O cables of the inverter.
(3) Do not run the signal cables and power cables (inverter I/O cables) in parallel with each other and do
(4) Use shield cables as signal cables and power cables and run them in individual metal conduits to
When the power supplies of the peripheral devices are connected to the power supply of the inverter in
the same line, inverter-generated noises may flow back through the power supply cables to malfunction
7) the devices and the following measures must be taken:
(1) Set the EMC filter ON/OFF connector of the inverter to the ON position. (Refer to page 15)
(2) Install the line noise filter (FR-BLF, FR-BSF01) to the power cables (output cables) of the inverter.
When a closed loop circuit is formed by connecting the peripheral device wiring to the inverter, leakage
8) currents may flow through the earth (ground) cable of the inverter to malfunction the device. In such a
case, disconnection of the earth (ground) cable of the device may cause the device to operate properly.
Data line filter
Data line filter is effective as an EMC measure. Provide a data line filter for the detector cable, etc.
