Could you make a (quick and dirty) drawing? The mains filter should normally be on the primary side, not the secondary. A mains filter is to prevent injection back into the grid. If I understand you correctly, you want to do following: [240V mains]--+--[vfd filter]--[VFD controller]--[spindle] | +--[mains filter]--[ctl transformer]--[control] The interesting part in now how earth is connected in the "VFD controller" and the "control". If the GND of both are connected to earth (internally), then you will create a loop and all hell may break loose. -- Greetings Bertho (disclaimers are disclaimed) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
