There are  two 
types 
of  noises-external mises which  cause  malfunctioning 
of 
the  inverter  and 
those  radiated  from  the  inverter  to  cause  malfunctioning of  a  peripheral  device.  ARhough the  in- 
verters  are  designed  not  to 
be 
influenced by  noises,  the  following  general  measures  must  be 
taken siree the  inverter  is an electronic  device  which  handles  weak signals. In addition,  since  the 
inverter  chops  the  output by high  carrier  frequency,  the  inverter itsel is  a  source of  noise  genera- 
tion. If peripheral  equipment is affected  by  the  noise  generated by the  inverter,  noise  suppressing 
measures  must  also  be  taken.  The  noise  suppressing  measures  differ  depending  on  noise 
propagation  route.

General  measures 
OAvoid running  the  power  cable  (inpuffoutput  lines)  and  the  signal  lines  in  parallel  or 
bundling  them. 
0 
Use shielded  twisted-wire  pair  cable  for  the  connecting  line 
to 
the  encoder  and  the 
control  signal  lines.  The  sheathing  of the  shielded  cable  must 
be 
connected  to  terminal 
SO. 
0 
Grounding  must  be single-point  grounding for  the  inverter  and  the  motor. 
External  noise  can  cause  malfunctioning 
of 
the  inverter 
If  noise  generating  equipment  (magnetic  contactor,  electromagnetic  brake,  a  number  of 
relays, etc.)  is  installed  near the  inverter,  and  if  the  inverter  could  malfunction  due  to  the 
noise  generated  by  such  equipment,  it  is  necessary  to  take  the  measures  indicated  below. 
.To 
install  a  surge  suppressor  in  the  equipment  which  generates  noises  to  suppress 
.To  install  a  data  line  filter  in the  signal  lines.

Ground  the  line  connecting  to  the  encoder  and  the  shield 
of 
the  control  signal  lines 
Noise  radiated  from  the  inverter  that  causes  malfunctioning  of  peripheral  devices 
Noise  generated  by  an inverter  are  largely  classified  into  the  following  types-noise  radiated 
from  the  wires  connected to the  inverter  and  the  inverter  main  circuit  (inpuffoutput),  noise  in- 
duced  electromagnetically  or  electrostatically  in  the  signal  lines  which  is  run  close  to  the 
power  cables  of  the  main  circuit,  and  noise  which  is  transmitted  through  the  power supply.
