9.5 Peak Voltage on Motor
When a transistor in the inverter bridge switches, the
voltage across the motor increases by a dU/dt ratio
depending on:
the motor cable (type, cross-section, length
screened or unscreened)
inductance
The natural induction causes an overshoot U
PEAK
in the
motor voltage before it stabilises itself at a level
depending 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, especially
motors without phase coil insulation are affected. If the
motor cable is short (a few metres), the rise time and peak
voltage are lower.
If the motor cable is long (100 m), the rise time and peak
voltage increases.
In motors without phase insulation paper or other
insulation reinforcement suitable for operation with
voltage supply (such as a frequency converter), fit a sine-
wave filter on the output of the frequency converter.
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).
