Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: ELCB Issues

all of those drives recommend a line reactor. There are also other
considerations like keeping signal lines away from power lines both from the
input of the inverters and the output just the same for the servo
controllers. Most of the newer systems use high frequencies like 40 khz and
the harmonics they create are a problem. There is also the other
consideration that the motors capacitance leaks those frequencies to
ground. If a motor is not connected to the frame and is moving it should
have a positive ground wire connected to it to the machine frame.
