2.7 Motor chokes
It is recommended to use a motor choke if using long cable lengths and/or
connecting several motors in parallel. The motor reactor is in the output of
the variable frequency drive. Its rated operational current must always be
greater than/equal to the rated operational current of variable frequency
drive.
For DA1 variable frequency drives, it is recommended to use a motor choke
for motor cable lengths of 50 meters or more. Doing so may result in the
following improvements:
• Longer maximum permissible screened motor cable length, up to 200 m
Longer maximum permissible motor cable length without screening,
up 300 m
• Current smoothing and du/dt value (kV/s) attenuation, providing
additional protection for the winding insulation inside the motor,
• Motor noise and heat build-up will be reduced.

It is also recommended to use a motor choke at the variable frequency
drive’s output if several motors with identical or different rated operational
data are being run in parallel (V/Hz control only). In this case, the motor choke
will compensate for the total resistance and total inductance decreases
caused by the parallel circuit and will attenuate the cables’ higher stray
capacitance.

Take into account the maximum permissible motor cable
lengths for the relevant EMC interference category.
