Long Motor Cable Effects
Reflected Wave Protection
The drive should be installed as close to the motor as possible. Installations with
long motor cables may require the addition of external devices to limit voltage
reflections at the motor (reflected wave phenomena). See Table 2.E for
recommendations.
Important:
Both Reflected Wave and Capacitive Current Considerations need
to be taken into account when determining motor cable lengths
(see Table 2.E and Table 2.F). The use of an external device to
limit reflected wave phenomenon may effect the accuracy of
Bulletin 160 current sensing.
The reflected wave data applies to all frequencies 2 to 8 kHz. For 230V ratings,
the maximum cable length recommendations are the same as the capacitive current
recommendations (see Table 2.F).
Cable Length Recommendations – Reflected Wave Table 2.E
➊
Cable lengths listed are for PWM frequencies of 2 kHz. Refer to publication 1204-5.1 for cable length recommendations at
other PWM frequencies.
➋
The maximum peak-to-peak voltage of the drive is 1400V due to the minimum on/off time software.
Reflective Wave Testing has been done on cable lengths up to 160 meters (600 feet). See Table 2.F for capacitive current
recommendations.
