Stepper Motor Filters

​

PWM-driven motors, such as stepper motors are a major source of electromagnetic interference (EMI) in equipment.  They also cause a number of problems in equipment, including damage to the motor’s bearings due to leakage current causing electrical discharge machining (EDM) and damage to motor’s insulation.  â€‹

​

OnFILTER’s patented TF/TV-series dV/dt stepper motor filters substantially reduce high-frequency leakage currents in motors and in wiring, assisting in compliance with the requirements of IEC61800-3IEC60034-17/-25 and NEMA MG 1-2016, as well as with NAMUR recommendations. They also reduce interfering high-frequency noise within the tool resulting from operation of PWM-driven motors.  

​

TF/TV series filters greatly reduce high-frequency currents on equipment ground, as well as overall EMI in the tool, lowering risk of EOS and reducing errors in automated equipment and testers.

  • No mechanical attachments

  • No changes in software
