Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of the TCI MotorShield (MSD) sine wave filter?
The MSD sine wave filter converts the PWM output waveform of a VFD into a clean voltage waveform, protecting the motor from voltage spikes.
What carrier frequencies is the MSD suitable for?
The MSD is suitable for carrier frequencies ranging from 2 kHz to 16 kHz.
What is the maximum lead length the MSD can handle?
The MSD is suitable for lead lengths up to 15,000 ft.
What AC voltage systems is the MSD compatible with?
The MSD is compatible with 240 - 600 VAC systems.
What is the current range for the MSD sine wave filter?
The current range for the MSD is 5 - 960 Amps.
Does the MSD require mechanical adjustments for operation?
No, the MSD has a maintenance-free design and requires no mechanical adjustments.
What are the current ratings for different voltage models of the MSD?
For 240V, the rating is 5-248A; for 480V, it's 5-1080A; and for 600V, it's 8-500A.
What is the intermittent overload capability of the MSD?
The MSD can handle an intermittent overload current of 150% for 1 minute every 60 minutes.
What is the maximum output frequency for the VFD when using an MSD?
The VFD output frequency can be up to 80 Hz when used with an MSD.
What is the maximum peak voltage of the output waveform for 480V and 600V MSD models?
For 480V models, the maximum peak voltage is 815V; for 600V models, it is 1,018V.
