4.3 Line Filtering
In addition to EMI/RFI safeguards inherent in the PositionServo design, external
filtering may be required. High frequency energy can be coupled between the circuits
via radiation or conduction. The AC power wiring is one of the most important paths
for both types of coupling mechanisms. In order to comply with IEC61800-3:2004, an
appropriate filter must be installed within 20cm of the drive power inputs.
Line filters should be placed inside the shielded panel. Connect the filter to the
incoming power lines immediately after the safety mains and before any critical control
components. Wire the AC line filter as close as possible to the PositionServo drive.
Note
The ground connection from the filter must be wired to solid earth
ground, not machine ground.
If the end-user is using a CE-approved motor, the AC filter combined with the
recommended motor and encoder cables, is all that is necessary to meet the EMC
directives listed herein. The end user must use the compatible filter to comply with CE
specifications. The OEM may choose to provide alternative filtering that encompasses
the PositionServo drive and other electronics within the same panel. The OEM has
this liberty because CE requirements are for the total system.
4.4 Heat Sinking
The PositionServo drive contains sufficient heat sinking within the specified ambient
operating temperature in their basic configuration. There is no need for additional heat
sinking. However, you must ensure that there is sufficient clearance for proper air
circulation. As a minimum, you must allow an air gap of 25 mm above and below the
drive.
4.5 Line (Mains) Fusing
External line fuses must be installed on all PositionServo drives. Connect the external
line fuse in series with the AC line voltage input. Use fast-acting fuses rated for 250
VAC or 600 VAC (depending on model), and approximately 200% of the maximum
RMS phase current. Refer to section 2.3 for fuse recommendations.
