8.24 Long Cable Applications
8.24.1 Cable Inductance Compensation
Long cable applications present a challenge as the cables become a signicant contribution to
the overall load impedance.
Compensation for cable inductance aects the output voltage during transient conditions of
current based on the output fundamental frequency.
Previously, compensation had been performed for cable resistance only. Drive base impedance
is calculated as:
Zbase = [Vrated/√3] * [1/Irated]
where:
Zbase = Drive base impedance
Vrated = Drive rated output voltage
Irated = Drive rated output current
The cable impedance must be compensated to ensure that the motor is getting the proper
terminal voltage.
