Risk of burns resulting from high surface temperature of the sine-wave filter
The sine-wave filters can have surface temperatures of over 80° C. You can be severely
burnt when touching the surface.
• Mount the sine-wave filter so that it cannot be touched. If this is not possible, at the
dangerous locations, attach an appropriate warning note that is clearly visible and easy
to understand.
Sine-wave filter damage due to interchanged connections
Interchanging the input and output connections will damage the sine-wave filter.
• Connect the incoming cable from the Power Modules to 1U1, 1V1, 1W1.
• Connect the outgoing cable to the load at 1U2, 1V2, 1W2.
Damage to the Power Module by using components that have not been released
When using components that have not been released, damage or malfunctions can occur
at the devices or the system itself.
• Only use sine-wave filters that SIEMENS has released for SINAMICS.
Risk of damaging sine-wave filter by exceeding the maximum output frequency
The maximum permissible output frequency when sine-wave filters are used is 150 Hz. The
sine-wave filter can be damaged if the output frequency is exceeded.
• When commissioning, you must always activate the sine-wave filter connected to the
Power Module (see SINAMICS S120/S150 List Manual).
Damage to the sine-wave filter if a motor is not connected
Sine-wave filters, which are operated without a motor being connected, can be damaged or
destroyed.
• Never operate a sine-wave filter connected to the Power Module without a connected
motor.
Note
Keep the connecting cables to the Power Module as short as possible (max. 5 m).
