What's the maximum distance when building connection betweenAC drive and motor? | Shihlin Electric

Please use thicker wire in long distance application, make sure the voltage drop is under 2V and total distance is under 500m (100m for sensorless vector control). In any application beyond 50m, reactor or sinusoidal wave filter needs to be installed on AC drive output side, for application with even longer distance, reactor needs to be placed in every certain distance. Meanwhile, lower carrier wave can reduce interference. Find quick answers in the Shihlin Electric FAQ—selection, wiring and troubleshooting for circuit breakers, magnetic contactors, AC drives, servo, HMI and PLC control.
