Note 7: Resistor braking of the drive
When the drive is in braking mode for a large part of its operation time, the
intermediate circuit DC voltage of the drive increases, the effect being similar to
increasing the supply voltage by up to 20 percent. The voltage increase should be
taken into consideration when determining the motor insulation requirement.
Example: Motor insulation requirement for a 400 V application must be selected as if
the drive were supplied with 480 V.
Note 8: Drives with an IGBT supply unit
If voltage is raised by the drive (this is a parameter selectable function), select the
motor insulation system according to the increased intermediate circuit DC voltage
level, especially in the 500 V supply voltage range.
Note 9: Calculating the rise time and the peak line-to-line voltage
The peak line-to-line voltage at the motor terminals generated by the drive as well as
the voltage rise time depend on the cable length. The requirements for the motor
insulation system given in the table are "worst case" requirements covering
installations with 30 metre and longer cables. The rise time can be calculated as
follows: t = 0.8 · Û

Note 10: Sine filters protect the motor insulation system. Therefore, du/dt filter can
be replaced with a sine filter. The peak phase-to-phase voltage with the sine filter is
approximately 1.5 × U
