Precautions Against Deterioration Of The 600 V Class Motor Insulation - Mitsubishi Electric FR-A862 Instruction Manual

NOTE
• Before wiring or inspection for a PM motor, confirm that the PM motor is stopped. In an application, such as fan and blower,
where the motor is driven by the load, a low-voltage manual contactor must be connected at the inverter's output side, and
wiring and inspection must be performed while the contactor is open. Otherwise you may get an electric shock.
• Do not open or close the contactor while the inverter is running (outputting).

Precautions against deterioration of the 600
V class motor insulation
In the PWM type inverter, a surge voltage attributable to wiring constants is generated at the motor terminals.
Especially for a 600 V class motor, the surge voltage may deteriorate the insulation.
Surge voltage at a motor terminal by motor wiring length (reference)
When the 600 V class motor is driven by the inverter, consider the following measures:
Measures
• Inverter duty motor
Select an inverter duty motor. Many motor manufacturers sell motors with insulation systems designed to withstand the
stress imposed by PWM inverters
• AC reactor
For added protection, install an AC reactor on the inverter output
