11.14 Output Circuit Filters (OFL)
Connect an OFL to the inverter power output side to:
• Suppress the surge voltage at motor terminals
This protects the motor from insulation damage caused by the application of high voltage surge currents from
400V series inverters.
• Suppress leakage current from output lines
This reduces leakage current from long power feed lines. (The maximum wire length must be 400 m.)
• Minimize radiation and induction noise from output lines
An OFL effectively suppresses noise from long lines such as wiring at plants.
