NOTE
The pulsed output voltage of a converter causes additional motor bearing currents.
Bearing currents cause localized melting on ball race and rolling body as well as wear
of the lubricant. This leads to a reduced service life of the bearing.
Bearing currents depend on:
m Motor speed
m Switching frequency of the converter
m Grounding
Furthermore the height of the bearing currents depends on:
m the applied bearing voltage
m the dielectric characteristic of the bearing lubrication
NOTE
The reduction of bearing currents requires the consideration of the whole speed-
variable drive system and its installation!
Baumüller supports you with on-site measurements and with development and imple-
mentation of suitable preventative measures.
