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 applications. By installing a sine wave filter between your drive and motor: ▪...

3.1 below. ▪ The fourth part of the designation ‘FN5420-xxx-yy-E_ _ _ _’ contains 4 slots, the first is the IP degree of protection, second, the presence of active ventilation (fan), third the presence of a power supply for the fan (if present) and the last one indicates the presence or not of a temper- ature switch.
50Hz, with terminal type 99 (bus bar), rated IP00, without fan nor power supply and with temperature switch. 1.3 Additional Resources The Schaffner group does provide a number of additional resources available at schaffner.com to understand power quality in general and product in particular. 1.4 Naming convention...
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 11
Dv/dt reactor RWK5420 series doesn’t have any minimum fPWM but is still limited to the same maximum 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. These limits are giving in the Table 3 and Figure 4 below and in the datasheet.
Page 12
In case of problem with bearing current, sine wave filter plus addons type FN5030 would eliminate the flashover created at switching, increasing even more the bearing total lifetime. 11/52 User and installation manual Output Filters FN5420 and Reactors RWK5420...

2.4.1 Temperature derating All sine wave filter FN5420 series and dv/dt reactor RWK5420 series are able to operate at rated current up to an ambient 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.
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.

Figure 6 power loss calculation chart 3.3.1 Power loss calculation example For a system using a sine wave filter type FN5420-45-92-E0XXT you take the typical power loss given in Table 4, 272W. This typical power loss is for 400/500V 50Hz at nominal current of 45A.
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 according 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.
1.8A cosϕ = 0.4-0.5 3.7 Cooling requirement Sine wave filter FN5420 IP20 come with embedded ventilation when needed. Thus, it is important to install the filter in a way that the air channels are not blocked and within an ambient temperature according to the specifications from section 2.2.

Forced cooling devices are needed for the operation of Schaffner output filters up to their nominal rating. Such cooling devices must be checked and cleaned regularly (if installed) to ensure sufficient air flow at all times.
Therefore, Schaffner recommends checking and tighten all electrical connections on the occasion of a regular scheduled maintenance entire device that incorporates filter. Check of internal connections within the filters is not needed or should be conducted by a Schaffner service representative.
