Design and Installation
Surge Absorbers
Use surge absorbers to absorb surges from power supply input lines due to lightning, abnormal volt-
ages, etc. When selecting surge absorbers, take into account the varistor voltage, the amount of surge
immunity, and the amount of energy resistance. For 200-VAC systems, use a varistor voltage of 470 V.
The surge absorbers shown in the following table are recommended.

Note 1. The "(W)" for the Matsushita Electric Industrial products indicates that they are UL- and CSA-
approved products.
Note 2. Refer to manufacturers documentation for operating details.
Note 3. The surge immunity is for a standard impulse current of 8/20 µs. If pulses are wide, either de-
crease the current or change to a larger-capacity surge absorber.
Note 4. The energy resistance is the value at 2 ms. At 700 V or less, high-energy pulses may not be
avoidable. In that case, use an insulated transformer or reactor for surge absorption.
Noise Filters for Power Supply Input
Use a noise filter for external noise attenuation and for the reduction of radiation noise from the Posi-
tion Driver.
Select a noise filter with a rated current of at least double that of the Driver's input current.
The noise filters shown in the following table can be used for 40-dB attenuation of noise between
200 kHz and 30 MHz.

Note 1. For attenuating noise in a low-frequency band of less than 200 kHz, use an insulated trans-
former and a noise filter.
Note 2. For attenuating noise in a high-frequency band of more than 30 MHz, use a ferrite core and a
high-frequency noise filter employing a through-type capacitor.
