2.9 Sine filter
Sine filters can be used to remove high-frequency components from a 
variable frequency drive’s output voltage, reducing conducted and emitted 
interference as a result.
→
When there is a load-dependent or thermal overload, DC1 
variable frequency drives will automatically reduce the switching 
frequency (f
PWM
) to a value as low as 2 kHz (= P-17 setting, 
4 kHz, double modulation)
→
Only sine filters that allow this minimum switching frequency of 
2 kHz during operation should be used with DC1 variable 
frequency drives.
