Output filters improve the quality of the
output waveform
Optidrives, like the majority of other inverter drives have
unfiltered outputs. In the majority of applications this will give
satisfactory performance, however, in a small number of
applications output filtering is strongly recommended to improve
system functionality, reliability and longevity.
These applications include:
- Long motor cables, up to 200m
- High capacitance motor cables (ie typical "pyro"
wire, used for fire protection)
- Multiple motors connected in parallel
- Motors without inverter grade insulation (typically
older motors)
A range of high quality output filters are available for
Optidrive with the following key features:
- Limits output voltage gradient, typically < 200V/μs
- Limits transient over voltages at the motor
terminals, typically < 1000V
- Suppression of mains conducted interference in
lower frequency ranges
- Compensation of capacitive load currents
- Reduction of rfi emissions from the motor cable
- Reduction of motor losses and audiblenoise caused
by ripple
