Countermeasures 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 in a
600 V class motor, the surge voltage may deteriorate the insulation.
When the 600 V class motor is driven by the inverter, consider the following countermeasures:

Countermeasures
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
