3.7 EMC filters
3.7.1 Internal filter
It is recommended that the internal EMC filter be kept in place unless there is a specific reason for
removing it. If the drive is part of a regen system or it is connected to an IT supply then the internal
EMC filter must be removed.
The internal EMC filter reduces radio-frequency emission into the line power supply. Where the
motor cable is short, it permits the requirements of EN 61800-3:2004 to be met for the second
environment - for further information see the Unidrive M700 / M701 User Guide. For longer motor
cables the filter continues to provide a useful reduction in emission level, and when used with any
length of shielded motor cable up to the limit for the drive, it is unlikely that nearby industrial
equipment will be disturbed. It is recommended that the filter be used in all applications unless the
instructions given above require it to be removed or the ground leakage current of the drive is
unacceptable.
