Line reactors/commutating reactors reduce the proportion of low-frequency harmonics on the line, thereby improving the power factor. Line reactors/commutating reactors avoid mutual interference caused by low-frequency noise and protect the converter input. The capacitive DC link of frequency converters is protected. SIDAC RFI suppression filters SIDAC RFI suppression filters have the following properties: SIDAC RFI suppression filters are installed upstream of the DC drive or three-phase AC drive. SIDAC RFI suppression filters damp and limit conducted high-frequency (> 150 kHz to 30 MHz) interference voltages. RFI suppression filters avoid mutual interference caused by high-frequency interference currents. SIDAC output reactors and sine-wave filters SIDAC output reactors and sine-wave filters have the following properties: SIDAC output reactors and SIDAC sine-wave filters are installed downstream of the three-phase AC drive (frequency converter). SIDAC output reactors and SIDAC sine-wave filters increase the service life of the motor and improve system reliability. SIDAC smoothing reactors SIDAC smoothing reactors have the following properties: SIDAC smoothing reactors are used in the load circuit of DC drives. SIDAC smoothing reactors reduce the harmonic content for the DC motor as well as the rate of current rise, thereby enabling use of DC high-speed circuit breakers. 8 Output filters for frequency converters System Manual, Edition 06/2007, HBF 06-001-02-1A TTProduct lineTT 2.2 TTDevice descriptionTT 2.2 Device description T T Device versions The output filters are offered in three-phase design in degree of protection IP00. All sinewave filters are equipped with safe-to-touch terminals, for the output reactors the 4EP types are equipped with safe-to-touch terminals, and the 4EU types are equipped with flange connections. Application Sine-wave filters and output reactors are used on the load side of frequency converters and the motor currents flow through these components. They enable use of shielded motor cables 200 m in length and non-shielded motor cables that are 300 meters in length. Sine-wave filters filter the frequency converter output variables and thus simulate line-like conditions for the motor. They ensure that the motor is supplied with nearly sinussoidal currents and voltages. This reduces motor losses and magnetic motor noise levels. Output reactors compensate capacitative switching currents and limit the voltage rate of rise on the motor terminals. See section 8.1 Operation, for general use conditions. EMC regulations Compliance with EMC regulations must be ensured in individual cases by means of an application-specific measurement. The converter's rating data must be taken into account when selecting a filter. Discharging the capacitors (for sine-wave filters) Ensure that the energy stored in the capacitors of the sine-wave filters can be quickly reduced, so that the voltage at the terminals drops to within permissible levels. WARNING It must be verified that the disconnected sine-wave filter is free of voltage!

SIDAC RFI suppression filters SIDAC RFI suppression filters have the following properties: SIDAC RFI suppression filters are installed upstream of the DC drive or three-phase AC drive. They dampen and limit the conducted, high frequency (> 150 kHz to 30 MHz) interference voltages. RFI suppression filters avoid mutual interference caused by high-frequency interference currents. Under some conditions, use of a sine-wave filter increases the maximum permissible motor cable length, which can be limited by the use of the RFI suppression filter. Line reactors To benefit from an additional reduction in phase effects on the system, combine an RFI suppression filter with a SIDAC line reactor/commutating reactor. Application-specific measurement is required Ensure compliance with EMC regulations in individual cases by means of an applicationspecific measurement. This measurement must be requested and ordered separately. The converter's rating data must be taken into account when selecting a filter.

They compensate capacitative switching currents and limit the voltage rate of rise on the motor terminals if long motor cables are used. This means that longer motor cables can be used. The converters can be better utilized as the load with harmonic currents is reduced. Sine-wave filter functions Sine-wave filters function in the following manner: Sine-wave filters are used on the load side of frequency converters. Sine-wave filters filter the frequency converter output variables and thus simulate line-like conditions for the motor. In addition to limiting the voltage rate of rise at the motor terminals in accordance with DIN VDE 0530 or EC 60 034-17, the possibility of longer motor cables is provided. The generation of noise on the motor is significantly reduced. The service life of the motor is extended by the reduced applied voltage to the insulating system.

If you notice any deviations from normal operation (increased power consumption, temperature or levels of vibration, unusual noises or odors, monitoring devices tripping, etc.), the device is probably no longer functioning correctly. In such an event, you must notify the responsible service personnel immediately to prevent faults that could result in personal injury or material damage. If in doubt, shut down the equipment concerned immediately. 38 Output filters for frequency converters System Manual, Edition 06/2007, HBF 06-001-02-1A Maintenance and servicing T 9.1 Service/Maintenance T T 9 T You must comply with the following safety regulations before commencing work on electrical installations: 1.
