System Design and Installation
● Surge Absorbers
Use surge absorbers to absorb surges from power supply input lines due to lightning, abnormal volt-
ages, etc. When selecting surge absorbers, take into account the varistor voltage, the amount of
surge immunity, and the amount of energy resistance. The surge absorbers shown in the following
table are recommended.
Note 1. The (W) for the Matsushita models indicates that they are UL and CSA certified.
Note 2. Refer to the manufacturers’ documentation for operating details.
Note 3. The surge immunity is for a standard impulse current of 8/20
µs. If pulses are wide, either
decrease the current or change to a larger-capacity surge absorber.
Note 4. The energy resistance is the value for 2 ms. It may not be possible to retard high-energy
pulses at less than 700 V. In that case, absorb surges with an insulated transformer or reac-
tor.
● Noise Filters for Power Supply Input
Use a noise filter to attenuate extraneous noise and to diminish noise radiation from the Servo Driver.
Select a noise filter with a load current of at least twice the rated current. The following table shows
noise filters that reduce by 40 dB noise between 200 kHz and 30 MHz.
