DU/dt Filters filters DU/dt Filters - Protects the motor-reducing dU/dt value of the drive output voltage - Reduction of motor temperature - Increases the lifetime of the motor - Open frame design - UL listed materials used - Cable length up to 300m Motor winding insulation experiences higher voltage stress­es when used with a variable speed drive than when con­nected directly to the mains supply. The higher stresses de­pend on the motor cable length. The stresses are caused by the fastrising voltage pulses of the drive and transmission line effects in the cable. DU/dt filters reduce the insulation stress of the motors by lowering the dU/dt- value of the variable speed drive out­ put voltage. The reduced stress increases the lifetime of the motor windings. Schematic diagram DU/dt filters can be used with cable lengths up to 100-300m, depending on the model. DU/dt-filters are designed for a maximum switching fre­ quency of 4,0 kHz. The filters generate less heat with lower switching frequencies, so it is possible to use lower switch­ing frequencies. DU/dt- filters can also be used in retrofit applications, where the motor is not designed for use with a variable speed drive. According to IEC TS 60034-17, for motors rated at voltages up to 500Vac, the insulation system should typically have a satisfactory life time when subjected to peak voltages shown in the figure. Choose a filter with a rated current greater than the rated current of the motor. If the working frequency of the motor is greater than 70 Hz, use the derating curve to determine the maximum current allowed for the filter.
