  • Page 57: Electro-Magnetic Interference (Emi) And Leakage Currents

    Electro-magnetic interference (EMI) and leakage currents Electro-magnetic interference (EMI) and leakage currents 3.1.1 Leakage currents and precautions Capacitances exist between the inverter I/O cables, other cables and earth and in the motor, through which a leakage current flows. Since its value depends on the static capacitances, carrier frequency, etc., low acoustic noise operation at the increased carrier frequency of the inverter will increase the leakage current.
  • Page 58 Electro-magnetic interference (EMI) and leakage currents 3.1.2 Precautions against inverter-generated EMI Some electromagnetic noises enter the inverter or the converter unit to cause its malfunction, and others are radiated by the inverter or the converter unit to cause the peripheral devices to malfunction. Though the inverter or the converter unit is designed to have high immunity performance, it handles low-level signals, so it requires the following basic techniques.
  • Page 59 Electro-magnetic interference (EMI) and leakage currents Noise Countermeasure propagation path When devices that handle low-level signals and are liable to malfunction due to electromagnetic noises, e.g. instruments, receivers and sensors, are contained in the enclosure that contains the inverter or the converter unit, or when their signal cables are run near the inverter, the devices may malfunction due to by air-propagated electromagnetic noises.

    Although Mitsubishi Electric assures the best quality products, provide an interlock which uses inverter status output signals to prevent accidents such as damage to the machine when the inverter fails for some reason. Also at the same time consider the system configuration where a failsafe from outside the inverter, without using the inverter, is enabled even if the inverter fails.
