Solution: Select filter to match motor FLA, increase size of drive to allow for long lead cable application. PROBLEM: Sine Wave filter runs Hot Possible cause: Normal operation reactor and resistors are > 120 °C Solution: Caution parts are very hot and may cause burns. Follow installation guidelines for clearances and check for adequate air flow.
