Solving The Problem: Sinus Penta

The document discusses installing inductors on the AC and DC sides of an inverter to reduce harmonic currents. Installing inductors on both sides provides the greatest benefits for filtering high and low frequency components. A DC inductor can be installed on some inverter sizes but not the smallest size. Special requirements may require contacting technical support.

INSTALLATION GUIDE SINUS PENTA

Solving the problem


Harmonic current amplitude decreases when frequency increases; as a result, reducing high-amplitude
components determines the filtering of low-frequency components. The better way is to increase low-
frequency impedance by installing an inductor. Power drive systems with no mains-side inductor generate
larger harmonic currents than power drives which do have an inductor.
The inductor may be installed both on AC-side, as a 3-phase inductor on the supply line, and on DC-side, as
a single-phase inductor installed between the rectifier bridge and the capacitor bank inside the inverter. Even
greater benefits are obtained if an inductor is installed both on AC-side and on DC-side.
Unlike DC inductors, AC inductors filter high-frequency components as well as low-frequency components
with greater efficiency.

A DC inductor can be connected to inverters sizes S15, S20, S30. This must be
CAUTION specified when ordering the equipment (see Power Terminals Modified for a DC
Inductor).

CAUTION No DC inductor can be installed in S05(4T) inverters.

When a DC inductor is used, it can happen that no braking resistor can be


CAUTION connected when an external braking unit is connected, and vice versa (see
Power Terminals Modified for a DC Inductor).

Harmonic currents in the inverter power supply

The amplitude of harmonic currents and their incidence on the mains voltage is strongly affected by the
features of the mains where the equipment is installed. The ratings given in this manual fit most applications.
