Product description
Hints for maintenance
Intended use
Before delivery the device is tested in various safety

checks and marked with a seal. If the device is opened,
these checks must be repeated.
There is no guarantee for devices, which are opened
out of the manufacturing works.
The reactive power controller Prophi together with external capacitor stages, serves for step by step controlling of the phase shift angle cos(phi) in 50/60Hz low
voltage networks. Depending on the type of the reactive power controllers Prophi, contactors or semi conductor switches can be controlled directly.
Additionally, the following electrical quantities are measured and indicated:
- Voltage L2-L3,
- Current in L1,
- Frequency,
- Sum real power (Consumption/supply),
- Sum reactive power (ind./cap.),
- uneven current harmonic waves 1. - 19. in %,
- uneven voltage harmonic waves 1. - 19. in %.
The harmonic contents are related to the rated voltage
or rated current.
The connection is carried out on the back side via touch
proof spring power terminals.
Measurement and supply voltage are taken from the
measurement voltage and must be connected to the
building installation via a separation (switch or power
switch) and an overcurrent protection (6,3A).
The current measurement is carried out via a ../5A or
../1A current transformer in one outer conductor.
Repairing and calibration

Repairing and calibration work can be carried out in the
manufacturing works only.
Front foil
The cleaning of the front foil must be done with a soft
cloth using a common cleansing agent. Acid or acidic
agents may not be used for cleaning.
Waste management
The device can be disposed as electronical waste according to the legal regulations and recycled.
Data protection
The data protection is carried out in a none volatile
memory (EEPROM).
Changed programming data are saved immediately.
The relay outputs are suitable for contactor control, the

transistor outputs are provided for the control of fast
switching thyristor modules, switching at zero crossing.

Funktional description
Measurement
The measurement is suited for 3 phase systems with or
without neutral conductor for frequencies of 50Hz or
60Hz. The electronical measurement system records and
digitalizes the effective values of voltage between L2
and L3 (L-N Option) and the current in L1.
In each second several snap check measurements are
carried out. As the current is only measured in one
outer conductor, and the voltage only between two outer
conductors, the measured values, which are related to
all three outer conductors, are exact for equal loaded
outer conductors only.
The following electrical quantities are calculated:
Current and current harmonics
Voltage and voltage harmonics
Real power, sum
Apparent power,sum
Reactive power, sum
Reactive power for each stage
Reactive current for each stage
Cos(phi),
Net frequency.
The following information can be indicated:
Number of switchings of each stage,
total connection time of each stage and
the inner temperature.
Prophi measures the frequency of the measurement and
supply voltage and shows the average over 10 seconds.
Page 6
Switching of capacitor stages

Prophi calculates the required reactive power to reach
the set target-cos(phi) from the current from one outer
conductor and the voltage between two outer conductors. If the cos(phi) deviates from target cos(phi), external capacitor stages or transistor outputs are switched
on or off.
In automatic mode the capacitor stages are switched in
or off, when the required reactive power is higher or
equal to the smallest stage power.
If the power of the first capacitor stage is three times as
high as the measured real power, all capacitor stages
are switched off.
Switching outputs
Depending on the variety of Prophi, relay or transistor
outputs serve as switching outputs.
The relay outputs are suitable for controlling contactors
and the transistor outputs can switch thyristor modules,
that switch in zero crossing of voltage.
For relay outputs the time between two connections or
disconnections is set to two seconds. Transistor outputs
have no limitation of the switching period.
Net return
After net return, the set discharge time runs for the
relay outputs. The transistor outputs do not mention the
discharge time.

Hints for installation
Mounting place
The reactive power controller Prophi is suited for mounting and operation in reactive power compensation systems.
The measurement is suited for 3 phase systems with or

without neutral conductor. Measurement and supply
voltage are taken from the measurement voltage and
must be connected to the building installation via a
separation (switch or power switch) and an overcurrent
protection (2A...10A).
The connection is carried out on the back side via touch

proof spring power terminals.

The reactive power controller measures and supervises
the voltage between two outer conductors. If one of
those two fails, the reactive power controller gets no
more measurement and operating voltage, and switches
on the capacitive stages after net return according to
the programmed times.
If the third outer conductor is missing, this will not be
recognized by the reactive power controller. If the contactors are supplied by this outer conductor, the contactors can attract simultaneously and without consideration of the discharge time after net return.

Current measurement
Real power
The current transformer is connected to the clamps k

and l (/5A or /1A) from the outer conductor L1.
Please ensure during the installation of the current transformer, that the current transformer is passed by the
consumer current but not by the compensation current.
The current can be measured by an Amperemeter to
compare it with the current indicated by Prophi to check.
Please note, that the factory's presettings of the current
transformer ratio is set to 10 and must be adapted to the
existing current transformer.
If you should short-circuit the current transformer, the
indicated value on Prophi must decrease to 0A.
If current and voltage are connected to Prophi according to the connection diagram, a positive real power is
displayed in case of real power consumption. Real power
with a negative sign in the indication points to the supply of real power or an error of connection.
Possible error:
- Voltage and current are measured in the wrong outer
conductor.
- The current transformer clamps (k-l) are exchanged.

Target-cos(phi) changeover
Via the input target-cos(phi) changeover it can be
changed over between target-cos(phi1) and targetcos(phi2).
If there is no voltage at the input, the target-cos(phi1)
is active. If there is a 85 bis 265V AC connected to the
input, the target-cos(phi2) is active.
Alarm output
The alarm relay attracts in undisturbed operation, and
the contact of the alarm output is closed. If a disturbance occurs, the alarm relay releases and the contact is
opened. Various events can be assigned to the alarm
output via OR-logic interconnections. Each event is assigned to an alarm number, an alarm delay and alarm
duration.

RS485 Interface (Option)
Transmission protocols
Two transmission protocols are available for the connection to an existing field bus system:
0 - Modbus RTU (Slave) and
1 - Profibus DP V0 (Slave) .
Terminal resistors
If Prophi is connected to the end of the bus cable, the
bus cable must be terminated at this point with resistors.
The required resistors are integrated within the Prophi
and are activated in position ON.
With Modbus protocol you can have access to the data of

table 1, and with Profibus protocol you can have access
to the data of table 2.
Bus structure
All devices are connected in bus structure (line). In one
segment up to 32 participiants can be assembled. At the
end and the beginning of each segment, the cable must
be terminated by resistors. In Prophi you can activate
these resistors with two plug-ins.
For more than 32 participiants you must use a repeater
(line amplifier) to connect the single segments.
Shielding
For connections via RS485 interface, you need a protected and twisted cable. To achieve a sufficient protection result, the shielding must be connected at both ends
extensively to the housing or parts of the cabinet.

Target cos(phi)
In the standard programming, the settings needed frequently are carried out, such as:
- target-cos(phi1),
- target-cos(phi2),
- current transformer ratio,
- learning of configuration,
- power of the first capacitive stage,
- stage ratio,
- number of stages,
- delete peak values (no indication).
In automatic mode
Prophi tries to reach
the set target power cos
ind
factor by switching in
1
or off the capacitor
stages.
It is possible to set a target-cos(phi1) and a targetcos(phi2). Devices without target-cos(phi) changeover
always use the target-cos(phi1). Devices with an input
for target-cos(phi) changeover switch to target-cos(phi2),
whenever the input is active.

At the measuring input of the current
measure-ment either /

transformers can be
connected. In order to get a correct current and power
indication, the current transformer ratio of the connected
current transformer must be set to Prophi. If the current
is measured via a sum current transformer, the total
current transformer ratio must be set.
Example 1: Current transformer 500A/5A
The current transformer ratio is now calculated to
500A : 5A = 100
A ratio of 100 must be set on the device.
Example 2: Current transformer 200A/1A

Learning of the configuration
After installation of the
controller there is the
possibility to learn and
save the configuration
with the function
"learn".
learn
Important requirements are:

- The discharge time for capacitors is set to 60 seconds,
when the device is delivered. For capacitors with longer
discharge times, the discharge time must be checked
and changed before using the "learn" function.
- The current transformer must be flown through by
consumer and compensation current.
- The measurement and supply voltage may not be taken
from phase to N.
- The compensation system must be ready for operation.
The learning function of the controller is devided into

two steps:
Step 1 - Learning of the connection configuration
Here the correction angle between current transformer
and measurement and supply voltage is detected.
Step 2 - Learning of the capacitor stages
Here the number of outputs and the stage power of
each stage is detected.
The following requirements are neccessary:
- The switching of a capacitor stage must cause a change
of current of at least 50mA at current input.
- The stage power of the stage to be learned must be
bigger than 1% of the measuring range of the controller.
Start learning
Go to symbol learn using key 1. Select action
(oFF, 1, 2, 3) with key
3. Start learning with
learn
key 1.
The symbol learn flashes. The controller learns.
During the learning the capacitor stages are switched
for several times. The learning can only be interrupted
by switching off the power factor controller.
The duration of the learning procedure depends on the
net conditions, the number of capacitor stages and the
set discharge time for the capacitors.
When the learning
procedure is finished,
the detected correction
angle, in the example
270, is indicated.
The learned characteristics are saved.
Prog
After 60 seconds the controller changes to automatic

mode. Pressing key 1 for 2 seconds, you reach automatic mode at once.
Attention!
After learning, the saved configurations must be checked,
if they are plausible.
The following actions can be carried out:

Stage power
Stage ratio
The stage power is the

power of a capacitor
k VAr
stage. In the standard
programming the stage
power can only be programmed for the first stage. In the expanded programming you can set the stage power for each capacitor
stage. If you only enter the stage power for the first
capacitor stage, the other stages are fixed by the stage
ratio. The stage power of each capacitor stage can be
calculated from the first stage and the corresponding
stage ratio.
Ratio
0var - 9999kvar
The stage ratio states

the ratio of the stage
power of the various
capacitor stages. The
1:1...
power of the first capacitor stage serves as a reference. The stage ratio is
programmable for each stage up to the fifth stage.
Setting range : 0 - 9
In the display only the stage ratio for the capacitor
stages 2, 3, 4 and 5 are indicated. The stage ratio for

If real power is generated in a certain application, the

following situations can arise:
Case a.
The generated real power is smaller than the demand.
Additionally real power is delivered by the energy supplier.
Case b.
The generated real power is bigger than the demand.
Real power is supplied.
Case c.
The generated real power corresponds to the demand.
In all cases the required reactive power is supplied by
the energy supplier, or even better, by a compensation
system.
The following situation can come into being. The needed
real power is completely generated (case c.) by the generator, and the reactive power is completely supplied
by a compensation system.
There is no current flowing through the current transformer. If the power station service, by mistake, is on
"oFF", the capacitor stages are disconnected. Then a
reactive current is flowing again through the current
transformer. The controller detects a need for compensation, and connectes the stages again. The reactive current is compensated. Again, no current is flowing.
The problem is, that the number of switchings is increased.
For power station service, especially in case c, power
the
station service should be set to "on".

The switching frequency determines,
how often per second
a transistor output may
be switched at maximum.
Hz
Example: Programming switching frequency

Go to the switching frequency using key 3 in expanded
programming. Change to programming mode with key
1. In this example, a switching frequency of 10,0 Hz is
indicated.
Prog
Possible switching frequencies are:

0,1Hz, (preset)
0,2Hz,
0,5Hz,
1,0Hz,
10,0Hz and
50,0Hz.
The delay time between two switchings of transistor
outputs is fixed to a minimum of 70ms, except for
"50.0Hz".
Switching frequency 0,1Hz
If a switching frequency of 0,1Hz is set, a transistor
output is switched in and off within 10 seconds one
time at maximum.
The set frequency is

flashing.
Now select the needed

Prog

m Attention!
If a switching frequency of 50Hz is programmed
for the transistor outputs, the serial interface does
not work!
Switching frequency 10Hz

If a switching frequency of 10Hz is set, a transistor
output is switched in and off 10 times per second at
maximum.
Switching frequency 50,0Hz
The time from a change in signal frequency till a
switching of a transistor output takes a maximum of 20
ms. The time between two switchings takes a maximum
of 50 ms. If a switching frequency of 50 Hz is adjusted
then the serial interface is out of operation

Lower voltage (1)
A lower voltage is recognized, when the measurement
and supply voltage is smaller or equal to the rated voltage given on type plate.
If lower voltage occurs, it is recognized after 100ms
latest, and the alarm output is active for at least 1 minute.
The threshold for lower voltage is programmable in 1%
steps in the range of 85% and 99%.
Example
Selected threshold : 85%
85% of the rated voltage of 400V make 340V.
If the voltage of 340V is underscored, the alarm relay
releases.
Attention!
If the measurement and operating voltage falls below
85% of the rated voltage, all capacitor stages are
switched off after about 20ms.
Overvoltage (2)
Overvoltage is recognized, when the measurement and
supply voltage is higher or equal to the rated voltage
given on type plate.
If overvoltage occurs, this will be recognized after
100ms latest. The alarm output will drop out for at least
1 minute and connected capacitor stages will be
disconnected in steps of 10 seconds.
The threshold for overvoltage can be programmed in
the range of 96% up to 110% of the rated voltage in
1% steps.
Example
110% of the rated voltage of 400V make 440V.
If the voltage of 440V is exceeded, the alarm relay
releases.
Underscoring of the measurement current (3)

The rated current of a measuring input is 5A. If the
selected threshold for the measurement current is underscored, after 100ms maximum the alarm relay releases for at least 1 minute.
The threshold for underscoring the measuring current
can be programmed in the range of 0% up to 28% of
the rated current in 2% steps.
Exceeding of measuring current (4)

The current of current measurement input is 5A. The
rated current of the current measuring input is 5A. If
the preset threshold for the measurement current is exceeded, the alarm relay releases after 100ms latest for
at least 1 minute.
The threshold for exceeding the measurement current
can be set in the range of 50% up to 120% of the rated
current in 5% steps.
Example 1
95% of the rated current 5A make 4.75A.
If the current of 4.75A is exceeded, the alarm relay
releases.
Insufficient capacitor output (5)
If the required compensation power is not reached for
one hour, the alarm relay releases for at least one minute.
Supply of real power (6)
If more real power is supplied than consumed (power
station service), the alarm relay releases after 100ms
latest for at least 1 minute.
Harmonic thresholds (7)
If a value in the selected harmonic threshold table is
exceeded, the alarm relay releases after 100ms latest
for at least 1 minute.
Overtemperature (8)
The reactive power controller is laid out for the operating temperature range between -10C and +55C. The
inner temperature of the reactive power controller is
about 2C higher than the temperature within the cabinet.
If the programmable threshold for the controller inner
temperature is exceeded, the alarm relay releases after
100ms latest for at least 1 minute.
Setting range for the temperature : 0..99C
Attention!
For inner temperatures of more than 70C the
alarm will always be raised.
Example
10% of the rated current of 5A make 0.5A.
If the current of 0.5A is underscored and the alarm
relay releases.

If the user cannot connect Prophi according to the
connection diagram, this can be corrected according to
the correction values of table 1 or 2.
Devices for version L-N can be corrected with the correction angles of table 1.
Devices for version L-L can be corrected with the correction angles of table 2.
If the connection fault is not known, the correction angle can be determined automatically by using the learn
