Options
Line Chokes, Motor Chokes and LR Filter Cells
Line Chokes
Line chokes can be used to provide improved protection against overvoltages on the line supply and to reduce harmonic distortion of the current produced by the drive. They are recommended for ATV310...N4E drives. They limit the line current and are developed in line with standard EN 50178. The choke values are defined for a voltage drop between phases of between 3% and 5% of the nominal supply voltage. Values higher than this will cause loss of torque. These chokes should be installed upstream of the drive.
Use of line chokes is recommended under circumstances such as:
- Close connection of several drives in parallel
- Line supply with significant disturbance from other equipment
- Line supply with voltage imbalance between phases above 1.8% of the nominal voltage
- Drive supplied by a line with very low impedance
- Installation of a large number of frequency inverters on the same line
- Reducing overloads on cos φ correction capacitors
Motor Chokes and LR Filter Cell
Motor chokes are required when:
- Connecting more than 2 motors in parallel.
- The motor cable length (L), including tap-offs, is: 25 m/82.2 ft maximum for a shielded motor cable (1), or 50 m/164.4 ft maximum for an unshielded motor cable (1).
An LR filter cell comprises 3 high-frequency chokes and 3 resistors.
