Sine filters are output filters that attenuate voltage components associated with switching frequency. This improves the line-to-line voltage by ensuring a proper sinusoidal waveform. As a result, unwanted phenomena such as bearing currents and the negative impact of pulsed voltage on motor winding insulation are minimized, especially in motors above 50 kW.
| Supply voltage | Power range |
|---|---|
| 3 x 200 – 500 V AC | 2.5 – 1200 A |
| 3 x 525 – 690 V AC | 1320 A |
Prevent disturbing pulses
A sinusoidal motor supply voltage reduces hysteresis losses in the motor, thereby lowering its temperature rise. Motor temperature has a significant impact on insulation life and durability. In this way, sine filters increase motor lifetime. As mentioned earlier, a sinusoidal supply voltage also reduces bearing current levels. This significantly decreases the risk of bearing damage, extending motor life and maintenance intervals.
Quality and design
They are designed to operate at the nominal switching frequency of frequency converters, ensuring no reduction in motor performance or efficiency. The enclosures are specially designed to match FC series drives not only in design but also in quality and functionality.
