LC Sine Wave Filter for Motor Drives

FN5040/FN5045

LC Sine Wave Filter for Motor Drives

  • Smooth sine wave without voltage peaks
  • Perfect motor protection
  • Reduce bearing currents
  • Motor frequency up to 200 Hz
  • Extended motor cable length capability

Features and Benefits

Converts the rectangular PWM output voltage of motor drives into a smooth sine wave with low residual ripple
Elimination of premature motor damage caused by high dv/dt, overvoltages, cable ringing, motor overheating, and eddy current losses
Improves bearing life time because of bearing currents caused by circulating currents
Complies with IEC 60034-17* and NEMA-MG1 requirements for general purpose motors
Optional with NEMA 1 protective cover

Typical Applications

HVAC applications
Pumps
Ventilators
Conveyors
Compressors
Elevators
Cranes
Medium voltage applications, deployed in front of the step-up transformer
Retrofit installations with motor drives
Motor drive with long motor cable
Motor drive with multiple motors in parallel
