SK 180E Manual for frequency inverters

2.4 Overvoltage filter SK CIF 
The use of a suitable ("CSA-") overvoltage filter is mandatory (see also Section 1.5) in order to comply with 
cUL requirements. For 230V devices, operation of the frequency inverter with a suitable overvoltage filter is 
only permissible if a mains choke is used in addition. 
For  further  information  about  the  overvoltage  filter,  please  refer  to  the  relevant  data  sheet.  These  data 
sheets can be downloaded at www.nord.com.

* (only with suitable mains choke) 
Without  an  overvoltage  filter,  frequency  inverters  for  1~  115V  mains  (SK1x0E-xxx-112-O)  cannot  be 
approved according to cUL. 
CAUTION! 
Modules SK CIF-323-x0 may only be used in combination with a suitable mains choke 
(L
min 
= 3 x 0,73 mH) (see connection diagram). 
For SK CIF-340-x0 modules the use of a mains input choke is not mandatory, but is recommended. 
Note 
With the use of a mains choke, the effective input currents of the 1~ 230V frequency inverter reduce 
to approximately the values of the output currents. Several frequency inverters can be connected to 
a choke - filter combination. In this case, the total input currents must not exceed the current rating 
of the filter.
