Basic System Description

A motor control system will obviously include a motor and inverter, as well as a circuit
breaker or fuses for safety. If you are connecting a motor to the inverter on a test bench
just to get started, that's all you may need for now. But a system can also have a variety
of additional components. Some can be for noise suppression, while others may enhance
the inverter's braking performance. The figure and table below show a system with all
the optional components you might need in your finished application.

equipment such as a radio receiver. This magnetic choke
filter helps reduce radiated noise (can also be used on
output).
