What Is the Maximum Recommended Distance Between an ATV61/ATV71 Drive and the Motor?

Resolution:
The maximum distance between an ATV61/ATV71 drive and the motor depends on several factors, including:

  • Drive rating and voltage
  • Motor characteristics
  • Output switching frequency
  • Cable type and installation method
  • Use of output filters or reactors

Refer to the following motor cable length tables to determine the maximum recommended cable length for your specific drive configuration. These tables indicate when additional equipment, such as output filters or load reactors, may be required to ensure proper operation and protect the motor from excessive voltage stress.
