3.5.7 - Additional precautions
Following the basic precautions in the
previous paragraph generally results in
correct operation of the installation.
However, even greater immunity can be
achieved by taking the following additional
precautions. These are listed in order of
importance.
3.5.7.1 - Insertion and wiring of an MC
choke
Most interference phenomena are caused
by high-frequency leakage currents
escaping to earth via the drive/motor cable
and via the metal structures supporting the
motor.
MC chokes can be used to reduce these
leakage currents. Their role is even more
important when the drive/motor cable is
very long.
Use MC chokes with a standard cable no
more than 100 m long.
Place the MC choke as near the drive as
possible.

3.5.7.2 - RFI filter
The RFI filter contributes to a reduction in the emission levels of the radio frequency signals
on the power supply cable, but its role in handling interference phenomena is fairly limited.
Depending on the drive used, install the RFI filter recommended in the table below between
the mains and the drive input.
• Precautions when mounting the filter
- Place the filter as near the drive as possible.
- Mount the type 1 filter directly on the same grille or same base plate as the drive.
- Mount the type 2 filter at the back or on the side of the drive.
• Precautions when wiring the filter
- The maximum length of the cable to the drive should be 0.3 m.
- Separate mains cables from motor cables.
- Wire up the earth: input to the cabinet general earth, output to the drive earth.
