Overview

Typical voltage stress of motors for operation on the
SINAMICS G180 converter at 690 V
Motors of the 1PS or 1MD5 series with standard insulation are
designed for peak voltages up to 1500 V (IEC/TS 60034-25).
As an option, 1PS motors are also available with special
insulation for peak voltages of 2.25 kV. In this case, the

IEC/TS 60034-25 Curve B. Due to the space required by the
special winding insulation, this option can only be ordered for
frame size 160 and above. The possible power of the motor is
then 5 % lower than a motor with standard insulation. The limits
for peak voltage with regard to explosion protection, especially
for the terminal box, are applicable as specified in the
R20000 regulation.
Engineering information for converter operation
Admissible voltage stress
More stress is placed on the insulation of the motor winding with
converter operation than with line operation. The voltage stress
also depends on the type of converter used.
Voltage stress on a converter with pulse width modulation (PWM)
The PWM converter subjects the motor windings to wear and
tear mainly by quickly applying voltage pulses. Each switching
process of the converter releases a voltage wave onto the motor
supply cable that can result in excessive motor voltages due to
reflection (see diagram).

on the PWM converter (converter with and without output filter, length of

The maximum voltage is influenced by the rise time of the pulses
and by the length of cable used between motor and converter.

converters, a high-quality d

standard. With converters without d

inadmissible voltage peaks can occur even with a relatively
short motor cable (approx. 10 m). With the d

of the SINAMICS G180 converter, depending on the supply
voltage, cable lengths of 150 m (at 690 V) to 300 m (at 400 to
500 V) are possible. The admissible voltage stress for the motor
depends on the rise

of the converter output voltage. The
admissible voltage stress for our motors with standard insulation
(1.50 kV curve) is shown in the diagram below. Special insulation
is necessary for higher voltage stress (2.15 kV curve; on request,
additional charge).

The operation of the 1PS0/5 and 1MD5 motor series on Siemens
G180, G150, G130, G120 PM230, G120 PM240x, S150 and
S120 converters is possible in the standard version with a supply
voltage up to 500 V with a typical cable length up to 150 m.
Testing using the provisions set out in guideline R20000 is
necessary for other converter types or manufacturers.
Motor operation on converter with sine-wave filter
In special applications, e.g. with extremely long motor cables,
so-called sine-wave filters are used which result in a smoother
converter voltage than d
v
/d
t
filters. When a sine-wave filter is
used, it is important to note that a significant drop in motor
voltage of up to 15 % occurs. Under these operating conditions,
derating is necessary to prevent the motors from overheating.
For operation with sine-wave filters and the consequent
reduction of 10 to 15 % in motor voltage, the admissible power
ratings for converter operation must be similarly reduced by
10 to 15 %.
For the LOHER CHEMSTAR and LOHER VARIO series, it is
possible to dimension the motors for the reduced voltage at the
motor terminals that results from the converter, which can
prevent a reduction in power rating due to reduced voltage.
