* Calculated at rated current, 440 VAC and cos phi = 0.8. The exact value depends upon the efficiency of the drive, the motor and the entire application.
** Maximum leakage under normal operating conditions. Note: if two phases are interrupted, worst case leakage could reach 5.4 times higher levels.

Installation
EMC/EMI filter FN 3268
Filter types from 7 to 55 A are designed to be
compatible with 30 mA RCDs according to IEC
61008 and new VDE 0664-110 standards. Filters
from 75 up to 180 A are designed to be
compatible with 300 mA RCDs. Install the filter as
close as possible at line side of the motor drive.
Regarding correct EMC installation, please refer to
the EMC installation guide in the manual from
motor drive supplier.
Typical installation with RCD, EMC/EMI filter and motor
drive system
Motor cable length
Motor cable length should not exceed 30 meters for
7 up to 55 A filter types to fulfill class C1 of
recommended standard EN 61800-3. For 75 up to
180 A filters, cable length should not exceed 100
meters to fulfill class C2.
Internal EMC/EMI components
Please disconnect all internal Y-capacitors (internal
EMC/EMI filters) in the motor drive, because these
capacitors cause additional leakage currents.
Harmonics on line voltage
High voltage harmonics can create additional
system leakage currents. FN 3268 filters are tested
under following conditions: Supply voltage is
contaminated with harmonics according to IEC
61000-2-4, class 2, where odd-numbered multiplies
of three are limited to 30%.
RCD
Please note that for electrical devices with 6-pulse
rectifiers at line input, like three-phase motor
drives, a RCD type B or B+ is required. RCD with
time delay are needed to prevent unwanted fault
trip at switch on or voltage spikes. These RCD
types B with time delay have often an added letter
“S” or “K”, please ask the supplier for correct type.
Caution: Please validate system with chosen RCD
to guarantee functionality.
Motor drive
Please set the PWM pulse pattern of the variable
speed motor drive fixed to 4 kHz. Other pulse
patterns cause higher leakage currents. Filter
designs with other pulse pattern than 4 kHz are
possible upon request.
