2.2.7 Sine filter
Sine filters are connected in the output of a variable frequency drive.
Figure 13: Circuit Diagram of a sine filter
The sine filter removes high-frequency components above the set resonance
frequency from the variable frequency drive output voltage (U
2
).
This reduces the conducted and radiated emission.
Advantages of sine filters:
• Long motor cable lengths with reduced conducted and radiated interfer-
ence
• Reduced motor losses and noise
• Longer motor lifespan
Disadvantages of sine filters:
• Voltage drop of up to 9% caused by system
(approx. 36 V if U
2
= 400 V)
• higher heat dissipation,
• A fixed pulse frequency is required
• Require more space inside the control panel
NOTICE
sine filters must only be used with permanently set pulse
frequencies.
