Peak Voltage On Motor; Switching On The Input - Danfoss VLT 7000 Series Manual

Peak voltage on motor

When a transistor in the inverter is opened,
the voltage across the motor increases by a
dV/dt ratio that depends on:
- the motor cable (type, cross-section, length
screened/armoured or unscreened/unarmoured)
- inductance
The natural induction causes an overshot U
motor voltage before it stabilises itself at a level which
depends on the voltage in the intermediate circuit. The
rise time and the peak voltage U
life of the motor. If the peak voltage is too high, motors
without phase coil insulation are the ones that will
primarily be affected. If the motor cable is short (a few
meters), the rise time and peak voltage are lower.
If the motor cable is long (100 m), the rise time
and peak voltage will increase.

Switching on the input

Switching on the input depends on the mains
voltage in question.

If very small motors are used without phase coil
insulation, it is recommended to fit a LC filter after
the frequency converter. Typical values for the rise
