When should I use an Output Filter with my VersiDrive i?
VersiDrives, like the majority of other inverter drives have unfiltered outputs. In the majority of applications this will give satisfactory performance, however, in a small number of applications output filtering is strongly recommended to improve system functionality, reliability and longevity.
These applications include:
- Long motor cables, up to 200m
- High capacitance motor cables (ie typical "pyro" wire, used for fire protection)
- Multiple motors connected in parallel
- Motors without inverter grade insulation (typically older motors)
Motors without inverter grade insulation:
Always check the motor specification and, if necessary, with the motor manufacturer to ensure the motor is rated for use with Inverter Drive products. Always follow any advice given on the requirement for using Output filtering with Inverter product.
