VLT® dU/dt Filter MCC 102
dU/dt filters are differential-mode filters which reduce motor terminal phase to phase peak voltage spikes and reduce the rise time to a level that lowers the stress on the insulation of motor windings.
Compared to sine-wave filters, the dU/dt filters have a cut-off frequency above the switching frequency. The voltage at the motor terminals is still PWM pulse shaped, but the rise time and Upeak are reduced. They are smaller, weigh less and have a lower price compared to sine-wave filters.
Furthermore, because of the smaller inductance and capacitance, the dU/dt filters introduce a negligible reactance between inverter and motor and are therefore suitable for high dynamic applications.
