OUTPUT FILTERS
7 OUTPUT FILTERS
Depending on the installation conditions, the addition of an output dv/dt filter may be necessary, recommended for drive systems with cable
length between 100 (328.08 ft) and 500 m (1640.41 ft), which are designed for application with new WEG motors. For drive systems with
cable length greater than 500 m (1640.41 ft), or for driving already existent motors (retrofit applications (motor not prepared for operation with
inverter)) the use of sinusoidal filters (by consulting WEG) is recommended.
Table 7.1 on page 7-2 presents the line of dv/dt and sinusoidal filters for the MVW01 inverter, according to the description above.
