• vacon dU/dt filter range The filter, the cable and the motor form a complex high frequency circuit, which causes a voltage at the motor with different rise times and peak values depending on the cable length, type etc. Typical voltage peak values as function of cable length are as follows: Figure 3.

• Between the converter output and the unit input (U1, V1, W1), use screened and/or twisted cables. Between the unit output (U2, V2, W2) and the motor, use shielded cables. If you use unscreened cables, make sure that the installation minimises the possibility of cross-coupling with other cables that are carrying sensitive signals.

Safe operating curves vacon • The safe operating curves for dU/dt filters 130B2838 - 40 are shown in figures 14 and 15. It is assumed that the default cable types have a capacitance of 45 - 55 nF/100 m. The values should be scaled in accordance with the actual cable capacitance. In case of multiple cables, the capacitance is the sum of the cable capacitances.

How to select a filter vacon • Other than default cable In general, the allowed cable length can be calculated as a ratio between the default cable and actual cable capacitances. As an example, if filter 130B2836 has cable MCMK 3 x 25 + 16 (45 nF/100 m) instead of the default MCMK 3 x 10 +10, the max...
