Outline

Surge suppression cable

Pulse drive is used in a control motor, for example, so reflected waves resulting from impedance mismatching between the cable, motor, and control section are superimposed on the signal, resulting in surges which become high voltage noise surges.
Surges contain high voltage components that are at least twice the normal drive voltage, so it is possible that the insulation may break down, stop functioning, or deteriorate, for example. It is therefore necessary to take measures against noise generation.

Surge generation mechanism

Features

  • The motor drive cable contains a surge suppression wire, and also there is no need for externally mounted high voltage or high current components, thus realizing low cost and space saving.
  • The O.D. of the cable is roughly of the same order as that of conventional products.
  • The absorbed surge is transformed into heat by means of the suppression wire, and the heat is dissipated by the entire cable , so there are no hot spots.
  • In contrast to the existing filter method which is used to pass the drive signals, this cable enables surges alone to be filtered, hence there is no voltage attenuation of the drive signal.
  • The cable permits EMI countermeasures due to surge suppression.
  • Waveform distortion is small, permitting high speed development.
  • This cable conforms to the RoHS standard.

Surge suppression efficiency demonstration movie

This is the demonstration movie which shows the actual efficiency of the surge suppression by viewing the measured surge waveforms on an oscilloscope. An actual surge waveforms are generated at the inverter motor drive system and OKI's surge suppression cables effects the reduction on the surge generation.
