If a high capacitance cable is used, the maximum cable lengths in Table 4.2 should be
halved.
For further information please refer to the CommanderSE Advanced User Guide.
MultipleMotors
For advice on multiple motor applications where a number of small motors are
connected t o the output of one drive, please refer to the Commander SE Advanced
User Guide.

the following conditions apply:
• Supply capacity exceeds 200kVA
• Fault current exceeds 5kA
• Power-factor correction equipment is connected close to the drives
• Large DC drives having no or ineffective line reactors connected to the supply
• Direct on-line started motor(s) are connected to the supply and, when any of these
motors are started,a dip is produced in excess of 20% of the actual supply voltage
Duringanyof theaboveconditions, excessive peak current may flowin the inputbridge.
This may cause nuisancedrive tripping or, in extreme cases, failure of the input bridge.
A line reactorshould then be connected in each phaseof the supply to the input bridge.
Line reactor(s) add the required impedance to the AC supply in order to reduce current
transientstoa levelthatcan be tolerated bythe inputbridge. An impedance value of2%
is usually recommended.
Threeindividual reactors,or a single three-phase reactor should be used.Each network
of drivesmust have its own reactor(s).
RFI filters (for EMC purposes) do not give adequate protectionagainst these
conditions.
