6.3 Output sharing choke specification
In order to achieve the best possible current sharing between paralleled
Unidrive SPM modules, sharing chokes must be installed between the
motor output connections and the drive’s motor connections.
Table 6-6 400V output sharing choke ratings
Table 6-7 600V output sharing choke ratings
6.3.1 Dual output sharing chokes
Table 6-8 400V dual output sharing choke ratings
Table 6-9 600V dual output sharing choke ratings
6.3.2 Cooling requirements for higher output
frequencies
Single OTL output sharing chokes - OTLX0X
Up to output frequencies of 300Hz, 1m/s airflow provides adequate
cooling.
Above 300Hz, the following equation must be used to calculate the
required airflow:
S = (f
0.75
/72)
Where:
S is the airflow in metres per seconds
f is the drive output frequency in Hz
Example:
Output frequency is 450Hz
S = (450
0.75
/72)
= 1.4m/s
Dual OTL output sharing chokes - OTLX1X
The OTLX1X dual output sharing choke core does not see the change in
drive output frequency as this choke is a current cancelling choke. Only
the drives switching frequency has an effect on the core loss.
Therefore motor frequency is not an issue until higher frequencies cause
high copper losses due to skin effect.
Therefore with the dual OTL chokes, only 1m/s airflow is required.
Maximum output frequency for OTL chokes
The maximum allowable output frequency for OTL output sharing
chokes, singles or duals, should be limited to 1000Hz.

The OTLX1X parallel output sharing chokes can only be used
when two Unidrive SPM drives are paralleled together. For all
other combinations the OTLX0X output sharing choke must
be used.
