Installation Notes
Please read the following installation notes carefully to use the filter unit to its
option.
E
CAUTION
● The noise filter units described in this reference sheet are designed ex-
clusively for use with Mitsubishi servo amplifiers types MR-E-A/AG-
QW003.
● These filters are necessary to comply with limits for conducted noise
voltages defined by the EN 61800-3: 2005 standard. The filter units are
suitable for complying with the limits for Environment 1 (category C1/
unrestricted distribution) or (category C2/restricted distribution) de-
pending on the length of the motor cable. It is possible that you may
experience different results in practice, particularly if you do not com-
pletely and correctly follow the accepted EMC procedures for proper
installation of filters and routing the power and control lines.
● These filters are NOT designed for use in power networks (IT type).
● When the noise filters are operated leakage currents are discharged to
earth. This can trigger upstream protective devices (as RCDs), particu-
larly when there are unbalanced mains voltages, mains phase failures
or switching activities on the input side of the filter.
● The values of the power loss and leakage current in the following ta-
bles are typical values in a steady and error-free state. Depending on
the power supply voltage, the power supply frequency and the filter
used they may vary slightly.
● Please note, that the appearance and wiring mechanics of the noise fil-
ters may differ from the figures shown in this short reference. Safe
functioning as well as the grade of the radio frequency protection do
not take affect of this.
Mounting
Check the servo amplifier type.The filter should be used only in combination
with servo amplifiers described in the table below.

Function
The filters described in this document are designed as foot print filters and
comply the european standards for drives with speed control.
The function of the filter is to reduce conducted noise voltages to comply with
the limits defined for Environment 1.
The Filters can provide conformity with the limits for Environment 1 (unre-
stricted distribution/category C1) with motor cable lengths up to 30 m/50 m
(shielded).
Mounting of filters
The filter and the according servo amplifier are mounted side by side on the
back of the cabinet. For correct filter performance the filter mounting bolts
should electrically bond to the cabinet back panel which is connected to earth.
If this is not possible, the paint should be removed from the cabinet directly
under the filter footprint.

Motor
All cables must be earthed at both ends in order to reduce cable radiation.
Motor cables must be shielded cables. Earth motor, bond to filters.
For environmental conditions and mounting position please note the
instructions in the operation manual for the servo amplifier MR-E-A/AG-
QW003 respectively.
E
CAUTION
● The cables of the input and output of the filter and of the servo ampli-
fier respectively should be laid with a great distance to each other.
● The power supply24VDC for the control inputs of the servo amplifier
should be filtered separately.
● If the leakage current is higher than 3.5mA, the filter must be wired
with a fixed protective earth (PE) connection according to EN 50178.
