Dv/dt output filter for frequency converters
Fast switching generated by IGBTs causes high voltage ramps (greater than 4000V/µs), that may be even higher in the motor windings. The fast switching can also shorten the motor life and limit the maximum cable lengths.
PREMO has developed a new dv/dt output filter, the FOVT series, to guarantee that the maximum peak voltage will be under 1000V with a dv/dt value less than 500V/ µs.
Key points:
- Three phase output filter for converters.
- Minimizes frequency converter dV/dt values.
- For long motor cables.
- Reduces motor heating.
- Increases motor life.
Suppression of voltage spikes will increase the cycle life of the motor, cables length will be longer with lower leakage currents and it will decrease the level electromagnetic noise, radiated and conducted.
The FOVT Series is available in three-phase versions from 8A to 70A. Earth current leakage is limited in all models to 238 uA; this product is suitable for switching frequencies between 4 to 16 kHz and motor cable long lower than 50mts.
