Motor Insualtion level
Motor Insualtion level
(OP)
I have done a motor insulation calculation below,
L-L voltage:600V
L-N voltage:347V
Motor is fed from VFD
Peak neutral to ground voltage is 200V.
VmotorL-G=200/1.414+347=488V
I am not sure if motor insulation level shall be calculated this way. Any comments will be appreciated.
PLease note there is neutral shift between VFD neutral and ground.

RE: Motor Insualtion level
"It is recommended that for supply voltages between 500V and 690V, motors are chosen, from the range offered by REMA [the Rotating Electrical Machines Association] members, with an enhanced insulation system.
These readily available motors may cost between 10 and 20 per cent more than a standard design, but they offer the required assurance against costly failures".
"The BS EN 61800-2 " Adjustable speed electrical power drive systems - Part 2: General requirements" may indicate more".
See: h
My opinion is that for 600 V [ L-L ] and Delta connection 1000 V insulation will be fair.
