High-speed switching makes noise in the drive output. This noise flows from the drive to the power supply, and can have an effect on other equipment. Install a noise filter to the input side of the drive to decrease the quantity of noise that flows to the power supply. A noise filter will also stop noise from entering the drive from the power supply.

  • Use a noise filter specially designed for drives.

  • Install the noise filter as close as possible to the drive.

Note:

The input side (primary side) noise filter model is RTEN-5xxx.

Drive models GA50CxxxxExx have built-in input noise filters. When you use these drives, make sure that the filter specifications align with the application and applicable regulations. Refer to European Standards for more information.
