VLT 5000 series is based on a 160 % torque application, whileVLT 6000 and 8000 series are based on 110% torque application.The pre-calculated filter current may be varying from the input current ratings of VLT 5000, VLT 6000 andVLT 8000 series as stated in the respective operating instructions, as these numbers are based on differentoperating conditions. Calculation of the exact filter size neededFor optimal performance the harmonic filter shouldbe sized for the line input current to the frequencyconverter, i.e. the input current drawn based on theexpected load of the frequency converter and notthe size of the frequency converter itself!The line input current to the frequency converter(I FC,L ) can by calculated using the nominal motorcurrent (IM,N ) and displacement power factor (Cosφ)) of the motor. Both data are normally printedon the nameplate of the motor. In the case wherethe nominal motor voltage (U M,N ) is unequal to theactual line-line voltage (UL ) the calculated currentmust be corrected with the ratio between thesevoltages as shown in the equation below.The harmonic filter chosen must have a nominalcurrent (IAHF,N ) equal to or larger than the calculatedfrequency converter line input current (IFC,L ).If several frequency converters are to be connectedto the same filter, the harmonic filter must be sizedaccording to the sum of the calculated line currents.If the harmonic filter is sized for the load, andthe motor of the corresponding frequencyconverter is changed, the current must bere-calculated to avoid overload of the harmonic filter.MG.80.B2.02 - VLT is a registered Danfoss trademark 5
