Selection of the motor cable
Correct selection and wiring of the motor cable is very important:
• lower abrasion of the motor bearings by leakage currents
• improved EMC characteristics
• lower symmetrical operating capacities
• less losses by transient currents

Connection of the motor
As a standard the connection of the motor must be carried out in accordance with the fol-

The connecting-up instructions of the motor manufacturer are generally valid !
Inverters switch at the output with a du/dt of approx. 5kV/µs.
Protect motor
Especially in case of long motor lines (> 15 m) voltage peaks
against voltage
at the motor can occur which endanger the isolation system.
peaks !
A motor choke, a du/dt filter or sine-wave filter can be used to
protect the motor.
