Overview
- The dV/dT filter combines an inductor and parallel resistor network to mitigate both high frequency components and voltage spikes between the VFD and motor.
- The filter can mitigate the effects of reflected wave voltages greater than what a reactor alone can accomplish.
- The filter provides protection to the motor by slowing down the rate of voltage increase and minimizes the damaging peak voltages that occur within the motor’s windings and along the length of cables feeding the motor.
- Open style enclosure
- Ideal for VFD applications with long cable lengths

How to Install the dV/dT Filter
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the safe installation and initial setup of the dV/dT filter, ensuring proper wiring and configuration.
Estimated time: 45m
Tools needed:
Screwdriver, Wire strippers, Multimeter
Supplies needed:
Mounting screws, Terminal connectors
- Inspect the dV/dT filter
Immediately after receiving the dV/dT filter, inspect it for any transit damage and ensure it matches the shipping documents. If any damage is found, do not energize the unit and contact the manufacturer.
- Mount the filter
Secure the dV/dT filter to a suitable mounting surface using the provided mounting screws. Ensure it is installed in a dry area with adequate ventilation.
- Connect the wiring
Connect the output phases A1, B1, and C1 to the corresponding phases U, V, and W of the variable frequency drive. Connect A2, B2, and C2 to T1, T2, and T3 of the motor, ensuring all connections are tight and secure.
- Ground the filter
Ensure the dV/dT filter is properly grounded according to local codes and standards. Verify all ground connections are secure before proceeding.
- Verify connections
Use a multimeter to check the tightness and correctness of all electrical connections. Ensure there are no loose wires or improper connections.
- Perform insulation resistance test
Before energizing the dV/dT filter, perform an insulation resistance test to confirm that the filter is dry and safe to operate. The insulation resistance should be greater than 10k ohms.
- Energize the filter
Once all connections are verified and the insulation resistance is acceptable, restore power to the dV/dT filter and monitor for any unusual sounds or issues.
