Schaffner sine wave filters help to avoid problems that can result in purely functional difficulties to very severe motor damage. Sine wave filters FN5420 series offer state of the art motor protection for the most demanding applica- tions. By installing a sine wave filter between your drive and motor: The filter converts the rectangular PWM output voltage of the drive into a smooth sinusoidal wave form signal with low residual ripple and without any voltage peaks between phases.

Schaffner output filters need to be selected according to the applications specifications and needs. Step 1: motor frequency Sine wave filter FN5420 series and dv/dt reactor RKW5420 series work at rated current up to a motor frequency of 60Hz and with a derating up to 200Hz, see derating in section 2.4.2.
Page 12
Dv/dt reactor RWK5420 series doesn’t have any minimum fPWM but is still limited to the same maxi- mum fPWM than sine wave filter FN5420 series. The maximum switching frequency must be reduced according to the cable length or the cable length must be limited for a given switching frequency.

Filter type dv/dt reactor, like RWK5420 series, allow to reduce the voltage rise (dv/dt) visible by the motor.
2.4.1 Temperature derating All sine wave filter FN5420 series and dv/dt reactor RWK5420 series are able to operate at rated cur- rent up to an ambiante temperature of 45°C (measured next to the device, i.e. inside a cabinet). It is possible to use the filter and reactor above this limit, but a derating must be applied on the maximum current going through the filter.
Output filter FN5420 and RWK5420 2.4.2 Motor frequency derating All sine wave filter FN5420 series and dv/dt reactor RWK5420 series can operate at rated current for a motor frequency up to 60Hz. They can also operate in case of increased motor speed with motor frequency up to 200Hz by applying a derating on the maximum current allowed in the filter or reactor.

Output filter FN5420 and RWK5420 3.4 Additional electrical specifications Schaffner output filter type sine wave filter FN5420 and dv/dt reactor type RWK5420 general electrical specifications refer to operating altitudes up to 2000m a.s.l. (6600ft). Operation between 2000m and 4000m (6600ft and 13123ft) requires a derating on clearance accord- ing to IEC 60664-1 (table A.2), hereafter enclosed:...
In many applications a shielded motor cable may not be required when a sine wave filter is applied with a motor drive. Anyhow, due to other possible influences of common mode disturbances Schaffner does recommend using shielded motor cables. This is to avoid back-coupling of radiated interferences to the mains cable at the frequency range from 1–30 MHz.

Connect the device on drive side terminals U, V, W to respective motor drive or rectifier outputs. The third part of the output filter/reactor designation is a number contains two digits, i.e. FN5420-10-88- E0XXT, which indicates power terminal type. See section 3.5.1 for the recommended wire size and torque.
Schaffner output filters are reliable low maintenance products. Many products like power supplies, in- verters or motor drives utilize fans for forced cooling to minimize size and weight. Schaffner output fil- ters are designed with a similar temperature management concept and therefore, fans, when present, may have to be maintained and replaced in certain intervals to sustain the function and value of the product.
Therefore, Schaffner recommends checking and tighten all electrical connections on the occasion of a regular scheduled maintenance of the entire device that incorporates the filter. Check of internal connections within the filters is not needed or should be conducted by a Schaffner service representative.
Every unit runs through suitable tests in our ISO 9001:2000 factories. Due to this reason no major issues need to be expected if the filter is installed, operated, and maintained as described in this document. In the unlikely event of a problem, please contact your local Schaffner partner for assistance. schaffner.com 52/52...
