■ Peak voltage on motor
When a transistor in the inverter is opened,
the voltage across the motor increases by a
dV/dt ratio that depends on:
- the motor cable (type, cross-section, length
screened or unscreened)
- inductance
The natural induction causes an overshot U
PEAK
in the
motor voltage before it stabilises itself at a level which
depends on the voltage in the intermediate circuit. The
rise time and the peak voltage U
PEAK
affect the service
life of the motor. If the peak voltage is too high, motors
without phase coil insulation are the ones that will
primarily be affected. If the motor cable is short (a few
metres),therisetimeandpeakvoltagearelower.
If the motor cable is long (100 m), the rise time
and peak voltage will increase.
If very small motors are used without phase coil
insulation, it is recommended to fit a LC filter
after the frequency converter.
Typical values for the rise time and peak voltage
U
PEAK
are measured on the motor terminals
between two phases.
To obtain approximate values for cable lengths
and voltages not mentioned below, use the
following rules of thumb:
1. Rise time increases/decreases proportionally with
cable length.
2. U
PEAK
= DC link voltage x 1.9
(DC link voltage = Mains voltage x 1.35).

Data are measured according to IEC 60034-17.
