Figure 8: Waveform After MotorShield

 

 

This waveform illustrates typical filter output voltage waveforms when measured from line to line. 

If the measured waveform does not resemble a sine wave like this illustration, and looks more like 

the filter input waveform, troubleshoot filter wiring and components. 

 

 

Warning 

Only qualified electricians should carry out all electrical installation and maintenance 

work on the MotorShield™. 
Exercise caution when checking waveforms with an oscilloscope. 
Use a dual probe, differential input set-up, or other means of isolating the scope 

chassis from the motor voltage. 
Disconnect power when attaching and removing the probes. 

 

Replacement Parts 

If replacement parts are needed, please contact your TCI representative. To ensure that the 

MotorShield

 

continues to perform to its original specifications, replacement parts should conform 

to TCI specifications. 

Factory Contacts and Tech Support 

You can contact TCI directly at 800-824-8282. Select "Customer Service" or "Technical Support" 

and have your MotorShield

 

nameplate information available. 

Typical Outline Drawings 

Typical MotorShield

 

drawings are provided on the TCI website. These drawings provide general 

information describing your MotorShield

 

filter. All dimensions on the drawings are in inches.  More 

specific information is provided by the drawings shipped with the unit. Be sure to carefully review the 

information provided by these drawings. The information on these drawings takes precedence over the 

information provided in this manual. You can find the drawings at
