Planning the electrical installation 53
5. Ensure that the motor insulation system withstands the maximum peak voltage in the
motor terminals. See the Requirements table below for the required motor insulation
system and drive filtering.
Example: When the supply voltage is 440 V, the maximum peak voltage in the motor
terminals can be approximated as follows: 440 V · 1.35 · 2 = 1190 V. Check that the
motor insulation system withstands this voltage.
6. Use insulated N-end (non-drive end) bearings and output filters from ABB according to
the Requirements table below.
Requirements table
The following table shows how to select the motor insulation system and when an optional
ABB du/dt filter, insulated N-end (non-drive end) motor bearings and ABB common mode
filters are required. Failure of the motor to fulfil the following requirements or improper
installation may shorten motor life or damage the motor bearings and voids the warranty.
Note: The drive is equipped with the common mode filter as standard.
