Key:
Lg = Sum of the cable length for all axes connected [m]
Cx= Permissible total leakage capacitance of the mains lter (see table) [nF]
Cm= Sum of the parasitic capacitances in all motors connected [nF]
Ck = Capacitance of the motor cable used in [nF/m]
Example:
The SO CM system features the possibility of operating up to 24 axes on one supply
unit. Selected mains lter is in EMCxx.600.
Due to the capacitance contributed by the motors of 240nF (24x10nF), a total cable
length of Lg = (402nF-240nF)/0.47nF/m = 344m is permissible.
That is an average per axis of 14.3 m on a "600m lter".
A.7.2 Selection of the mains lter taking into account the cable
and motor leakage capacitances
The effect of the mains lter is in general limited by the sum of all the leakage
capacitances in the components connected to the SO CM. This parasitic capacitance
is primarily determined by the motor cables connected. The capacitances in motors
connected form a further factor that cannot be ignored.
Therefore, typical application scenarios were assumed for the development of the lters
and the capacitances of KEBA motor cables and motors used as the basis to produce
typical total capacitances for which the lters were designed. For KEBA components the
following applies:
KEBA cables have a value of 0.47nF/m
KEBA motors have a value less than or equal to 10nF
For the 600 m lter variant, an application with 12 motors each with a cable length of
50m is assumed for the design. With the above data, there is a total capacitance of
12 x 10 nF + 12 x 50 m x 470 pF/m = 402 nF. The total leakage capacitances for the
other mains lters are found similarly.

Detailed consideration is necessary in applications with a larger number of axes or long
motor cables. Detailed consideration is also necessary if cables from other suppliers are
used and these cables are not designed to have low capacitance, and if motors from
other suppliers or special motors are used.
As the basis for the estimation of the permissible total cable length, use:
Lg = (Cx – Cm) / Ck
