3-6 RFI Jumper and Leakage Current
RFI Jumper:
1. The drive contains Varistors / MOVs that are connected from phase to phase and from phase to
ground to prevent the drive from unexpected stop or damage caused by mains surges or voltage
spikes. Because the Varistors / MOVs from phase to ground are connected to ground with the RFI
jumper, removing the RFI jumper disables the protection.
2. In models with a built-in EMC filter, the RFI jumper connects the filer capacitors to ground to form a
return path for high frequency noise in order to isolate the noise from contaminating the mains
power. Removing the RFI jumper strongly reduces the effect of the built-in EMC filter. Although a
single drive complies with the international standards for leakage current, an installation with
several drives with built-in EMC filters can trigger the RCD. Removing the RFI jumper helps, but the
EMC performance of each drive is no longer guaranteed.
