Preparations for use
4.20 Converter operation
NOTICE
Material damage caused by an excessively high supply voltage
The insulation system will be damaged if the supply voltage is too high for the insulation
system. This can completely destroy the machine.
● Comply with the peak voltages as laid down in the guidelines above.
4.20.3
Reducing bearing currents
Taking the following actions will reduce the bearing currents:
● Ensure that the contacts are established over a large area. Solid copper cables are not
Equipotential bonding conductors:
Use equipotential bonding conductors:
● Between motor and driven machine
● Between motor and converter
● Between the terminal box and the RF grounding point at the motor enclosure.
Selecting and connecting the cable:
As far as possible, use symmetrically arranged, shielded connection cables. The cable
shielding, made up of as many strands as possible, must have good electrical conductivity.
Braided shields made of copper or aluminum are very suitable.
● The shield is connected at both ends, at the motor and converter.
● To ensure good discharging of high-frequency currents, provide contacting over a large

suitable for high frequency grounding because of the skin effect.
surface area:
– as contact established through 360° at the converter
– at the motor, for instance with EMC glands at the cable entries
