A passive lowpass 1st order filter can be used to suppress noise on measuring signals at the analog outputs of a MICROMASTER or SINAMICS so that measurements using an oscilloscope can be made.
The 500 Ohm (0.5 K) resistor is a load resistor and is used to convert the current (0…20 mA) into a voltage (0…10 V).

A phase current r0069.0 (phase U) is shown in Figs. 2, 3 and 4, that is measured at the analog output of the drive SINAMICS G120 (CU240S & PM250 45 kW). The drive is operated at its rated load. The phase current is measured without / with, unshielded / shielded, filter.

The result of the filter can be seen in Fig. 3:

The filter with shielded housing provides even better results (Fig. 4):
