3.5.4 Sinusoidal filter
A sinusoidal filter is used to provide a better quality waveform to the motor, reducing motor noise,
temperature and mechanical stress. It will reduce or eliminate harmful dV/dt values (voltage rise
over time) and voltage doubling effects which can damage motor insulation. This effect occurs
most noticeably when using very long motor cables, for example 30 m (100 ft) or more. Baldor
motors intended to be used with drives are designed to withstand the effects of large dV/dt and
overvoltage effects. However, if very long motor cables are unavoidable and are causing
problems, then a sinusoidal filter may be beneficial.
