AccuSine PCS+ / PFV+ Installation Manual Chapter 2 - Introduction
Chapter 2 Introduction
The product can be provided in either of two types, an Active Harmonic Filter (AHF) or
an Electronic VAR Control (EVC). Both types are to be installed as described in this
manual. These products are both referred to as an active filter in this manual.
Active Harmonic Filter

Active Harmonic Filters (AHF) are static power electronic products that employ digital
logic and IGBT semiconductors to synthesize a current waveform that is injected into
the electrical network to cancel harmonic currents caused by nonlinear loads. AHF
employ current transformers to measure the load current to determine the content of
harmonic current present. By injecting the synthesized current, network harmonic
currents are greatly mitigated, thus reducing the heating effects of harmonic current and
reducing voltage distortion.
AHF also have the ability to correct for poor displacement power factor (DPF) and for
mains current balancing. DPF correction can be provided for either leading (capacitive)
or lagging (inductive) loads that cause poor DPF. Mains current balancing is achieved
by measuring the negative sequence current present and injecting the inverse negative
sequence current to balance the current for the upstream network.
Multiple enclosure styles are available. IP00 open chassis designs can be installed in
other types of enclosures such as motor control centers (MCC).
Electronic VAR Control

Electronic VAR control (EVC) are static power electronic products that employ digital
logic and IGBT semiconductors to synthesize a current waveform that is injected into
the electrical network to cancel load induced poor displacement power factor (DPF),
phase current unbalance, and flicker. DPF correction can be provided for either leading
(capacitive) or lagging (inductive) loads that cause poor DPF. Mains current balancing
is achieved by measuring the negative sequence current present and injecting the
inverse negative sequence currents to balance the current for the network. Flicker
control is provided by rapid detection and injection of reactive current (VARs) to prevent
the reactive current from over loading the network that causes rapid voltage deviations
identified as flicker.
EVC also have the ability to monitor the network voltage on which they are connected
and determine the proper amount of VARs to either raise the network voltage or lower
it. EVC will inject leading VARs to raise the voltage and lagging VARs to lower the
voltage. Entry of appropriate parameters will keep the network within its stated voltage
tolerance level.
Multiple enclosure styles are available. IP00 open chassis designs can be installed in
other types of enclosures such as motor control centers (MCC).

Foundation preparation
The mounting location must be able to support the weight of the unit without sagging.
Weight specifications are provided in “Open/IP00 and UL Type 1/IP20 Enclosures
Physical Specifications” on page 15.
Installation
For optimum performance in harmonic mitigation mode, adhere to the following
recommendations:
• All harmonic generating loads must have a minimum 3% line reactor or 3% DC
choke installed.
• SCR based rectifiers are required to have a minimum 3% line reactor.
• No capacitors downstream of the Main CTs.
NOTICE
RISK OF EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Adhere to DC choke, SCR based rectifier, and capacitor placement requirements.
Failure to follow this instruction can result in equipment damage.
If these recommendations are not followed, the target harmonic level may not be met
and equipment damage can occur.
Environmental Requirements
Active filters are designed for indoor use only. They require unrestricted exchange of
environmental air to the inside of the enclosure for proper cooling. Ensure that the
environment meets Pollution Degree 2, i.e., does not contain conductive particles,
significant amounts of dust, or corrosive or otherwise harmful gases. Normally only
non-conductive pollution occurs. Temporary conductivity caused by condensation is to
be expected.
NOTICE
RISK OF EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Ensure that the installation location satisfies environmental requirements.
14 NHA41798-01
If environmental requirements are not adhered to, malfunction and possible destruction
of the active filter may occur.
The active filter generates significant heat during operation. Consult the product
specifications in “Electrical Specifications 60, 120, 200 and 300 A Units” on page 34 for
the watt losses for each active filter model. Ensure that the room where the active filter
is mounted has adequate ventilation. Maintain ambient temperature between 0°C
(32°F) and 40°C (104°F) with a maximum relative humidity of 95%, non-condensing,
and a maximum dewpoint of 37°C.
The operating temperatures are maximum and minimum levels the unit is designed to
operate within. Operating above or below these levels will result in the unit either
shutting down or reduced performance. The upper or lower limit should not be used as
ideal room temperature levels. System reliability and product life expectancy will
improve if temperature levels are maintained between 20°C (68°F) and 30°C (86°F).
Physical Installation
The active filter is provided standard as a UL open/IP00 chassis unit. The unit can be
converted to a UL Type 1/IP20 with an optional conversion kit. The following table

Refer to “Electrical Specifications 60, 120, 200 and 300 A Units” on page 34 to
determine the line voltage that is compatible with the voltage range of the active filter.
Over-current Protection Device Selection

A dedicated over-current protection device, circuit breaker, or fuse disconnect is
required for this product. The over-current protection device must be rated for at least
125% of the unit rating.
The active filter inrush current does not exceed the unit rating shown in the following
table. Circuit breaker settings such as Long Time Pickup, Long Time Delay, and Short
Time Pickup can be set for minimum inrush current.

300 A 300 A 400 A 400 A
NOTE: Check national and local codes and regulations to ensure compliance.
Power Cable Routing

Power cables connected to the active filter must be placed in metal conduit or be
shielded encapsulated cables to reduce noise coupling (EMI). For Open/IP00 units,
power cable connections are at the bottom of the unit. For UL Type 1/IP20, see detail
drawings in “UL Type 1/IP20 Conversion Kit Assembly (Optional)” on page 55.
See “Open/IP00 60 A Enclosure Top and Bottom Dimensional Drawing” on page 17

and “IP00 120 A Enclosure Top and Bottom Dimensional Drawing” on page 19.
For all power systems, observe the following:

• Metal conduit or the encapsulated cable shield has to be grounded to the active filter
ground-terminal located adjacent to the power terminals.
• All panels must be installed to ensure proper system cooling.
NHA41798-01 33
Power and Ground Cable Selection and Connections
DANGER
• The unit must be properly grounded before power is applied.
• Ground equipment using the ground connecting point provided.
All power wiring has to be routed directly from the conduit entry plate to the terminations
on power terminals (and the earth grounding terminal) without loops. Instrumentation
and CT wiring has to be routed in a separate grounded metal conduit or shielded
encapsulated cable. A dedicated ground conductor must be used when installing the
active filter.
When used as a harmonic current compensation device, the active filter produces
currents at frequencies that are multiples of the AC line fundamental frequency. Power
cables as well as input disconnect devices should be rated at 125% of the active filter
rated current. This helps avoid excessive heating from any skin effect resistance
increase at these higher frequencies.
Box lug accessory kits are available as an option in the catalog. The box lugs are UL
compliant. Each kit contains three box lugs for the phase connection and one box lug
for the ground connection. When installing 200 A or 300 A units, two box lug kits are
required per unit if two conductors per phase are used.
The box lugs in the optional accessory kit are not IEC compliant. For IEC installation,
use crimp-on ring lugs for electrical connections.

Current Transformers (CTs)
DANGER
• Never open circuit a current transformer (CT).
• Always use grounded external CTs for current inputs.
Ensure that CT secondary current is not present when wiring the CT secondary
connections. The shorting jumpers must be installed at the X1 to X2 OUT of each CT
channel on the CT board unless you are connecting an additional Master parallel unit.
Refer to “Source Side CT Position Diagram” on page 44
General CT Information
The CT must be orientated properly during installation. The orientation is specified in
the drawings with an arrow indicating the direction or polarity of the CT. Most CT
manufacturers will indicate orientation with a label indicating H1 on one side of the CT
or a dot. There can also be a label indicating H2 and/or an arrow on the CT. The H1
side of the CT should always be closest to the power source. If the CT has an
orientation arrow, it should point from the source towards the load. See the installation
instructions for the specific CTs being installed.
A shorting terminal block or shorting switch with galvanic isolation to the active filter for
the CT secondary is required. Insert an interposing terminal block in a separate
enclosure with the ability to short the secondary wiring of the CT. This provides the
ability to short the CT without entering the active filter enclosure (which otherwise would
require a power shutdown). Shorting terminal blocks are available in the catalog.
CT location is defined in relationship to the active filter system. CT location on the

“Source Side” indicates that the CTs are physically located upstream of the active filter.
The CTs will measure the improvement to the current as a result of the active filter
operating. A CT location on the “Load Side” indicates that the CTs are downstream of
the active filter. The CTs will monitor the Load current provided by both the source and
active filter currents.
Two CTs are required to be installed, one on L1 phase and one on L2 phase of the
conductors powering the loads to be compensated by the active filter system. If there
are any line-to-neutral connected loads downstream of the active filter system's main
CTs, a third CT is required on L3 phase.
NOTICE
MEASUREMENT ERRORS
CTs must be physically separated from any perpendicular conductor by at least 25
mm (1 inch) for every 1000 A of current flowing through the perpendicular conductor.
Failure to follow this instruction can result in a reduction in performance of the
active filter.
NHA41798-01 39
If this practice is not followed, the magnetic field produced by the current flowing on the
perpendicular conductor will cause CT measurement errors.
Minimum CT Requirements
The active filter uses a minimum of two external current transformers (CTs) to measure
load current waveforms. Standard CTs rated for 50/60 Hz or 400 Hz with Type 1
accuracy rating, with a 5 A or 1 A secondary are acceptable. The largest primary rating
for the CT is 10,000 A. Any splicing to the CT leads needs to be done with crimp style
connectors or soldered.
The CT should be mounted on phases L1 and L2 with the orientation arrow pointing
toward the load. Systems that are using two CTs can have the CTs installed on L1 and
L3 or L2 and L3 if necessary. If L1 and L3 or, L2 and L3 CT configurations are used,
this information must be provided to the qualified person commissioning the unit. Three
external CTs are required if line-to-neutral connected loads are present.
NOTICE
REDUCED PERFORMANCE
CT wiring must be routed separately from power cables.
Failure to follow this instruction can result in a reduction in performance.
CT wiring must be routed directly from the conduit entry-plate to the terminal block of
the CT board.
CT must be selected for:

• 5 A or 1 A secondary
• 250 to 10,000 primary rating
• 50/60 Hz or 400 Hz Rated
• Type 1 accuracy
• The CT primary current rating must exceed the maximum load current where they
are installed;
• The maximum burden (in VA) on the CT is formed by the CT wiring and total active
filter burden. This is equal to 1.0 VA for CTs with a 5 A secondary rating or 0.04 VA
for CTs with a 1 A secondary rating.
• Wire size of the CT should be 4mm2 (12 AWG) or 6mm2 (10 AWG). Consult the CT
manufacturer for secondary wiring recommendations. See “5 A Secondary
Maximum Wire Length” and “1 A Secondary Maximum Wire Length” on page 43 for
adding wire to CT secondary wiring.
CT secondary wiring must be either twisted and/or shielded pairs
Do not connect the active filter CT to any other loads. Use a separate current
transformer if additional uses are required.
Any splicing to the CT leads needs to be done with crimp style connectors or soldered.
X2 of each CT installed must be grounded as close to the CT as possible.
A single active filter, not operating in parallel, can have the CTs installed either on the
source side or load side of the active filter. Parallel systems must have the main CTs
installed on the source side of the active filter system.
40 NHA41798-01
CT to CT Board Connection
The CT connection is made behind the small customer access panel at the bottom of
the active filter chassis. See “Access Cover Removal” on page 37. Remove the
customer access panel. The CT board is located behind and slightly below the control
board. This is the location where the active filter CT secondary wiring must be
terminated. Remove the clear plastic safety cover to access the CT board.
Typically, L1 CT will be connected to CH1 IN. There are two X1 and X2 IN terminals.
The second set of IN terminals can be used to connect additional CTs that may be
required for site specific conditions. X1 and X2 OUT are used for parallel active filter
systems.
The terminal block on the CT board can accept wire sizes of up to 6 mm2 (10 AWG)
wire and has a torque specification of 1 N•m (9 Ib-in).
NOTICE
CIRCULATING CURRENTS
When using shielded CT secondary wire, only ground the shield at one end of the
cable.
Failure to follow this instruction can result in a reduction in performance.
NOTICE
INACCURATE FILTER OPERATION
Do not allow the conductor on which the CT is mounted to become lodged in the joint
area of a split-core CT.
Failure to follow this instruction can result in inaccurate filter operation.

Parallel Communication
For parallel operation, the units communicate through the RJ-45 connectors labeled 1P
and 2P on the Control Board. This is a unique communication protocol that is only to be
used for parallel communication. The 2P jack has an RJ-45 termination plug installed
at the factory.
NOTICE
EXCESSIVE NOISE IN THE COMMUNICATION CIRCUIT
When the unit is set to operate in parallel mode, the termination plug must be
installed in any RJ-45 jacks that are not used for parallel communication wiring. See
the wiring diagrams in this section.
Failure to follow this instruction can result in communication errors.
CAT5e cable with all 8 conductors terminated at the RJ-45 connections is required for
parallel communication. It is recommended that shielded Cat5e cable be used. Ensure
that the total cable length does not exceed 76 meters (250 feet). The CAT5e cable with
RJ-45 plugs can be purchased as an option. Refer to the catalog for optional paralleling
cable part numbers.

Pre-Commissioning Checklist
Prior to commissioning the active filter system, the following items must be completed:
• Electrical connections have been made in accordance with local codes.
• Main CTs are installed to measure the current of the system to be corrected.
• The secondary wiring of the main CTs have been connected to the CT board of the
active filter.
• If it is a parallel active filter system, CT wiring and parallel communications wiring
have been installed between the CT boards of each unit.
• All drives, harmonic generating loads, downstream of the main CTs must have the
recommended minimum 3% line reactor or DC choke installed (required for optimum
performance when harmonic mode is intended).
• There are no un-isolated capacitors, such as power factor correction capacitors
downstream of the main CTs. (required when harmonic mode is intended to
operate).
• At least 50% of the anticipated load should be available during the commissioning
procedure. To fully test the system integration, all loads supported by the active filter
system should be available for operation. The total output current required for the
system must be at least 10% of the unit's nameplate rating. For example, a 300 A
unit will need a minimum of 30 A Total Output current.
• If backup generation is connected to the active filter, the system should also be
tested with the generator supporting the connected loads.
The Field Service Engineer will need to know the following information to commission
the active filter:
• Installation location of the main CTs in relationship to the active filter (load or grid).
• The ratio of the main CTs installed.
• The phase on which each CT is installed.
• Intended mode of operation (Harmonic, Power Factor, Load Balancing).
Commissioning procedures

The active filter consists of two sections, a power section and a control section.
The power section dissipates a significant amount of power, which must be evacuated
to the outside of the enclosure. It is isolated by IP54 protections from the control section
within the chassis. The chassis has a cooling fan to provide adequate airflow. Air inlets,
outlets, and ductwork must be provided in the enclosure with the appropriate degree of
protection required. The airflow must be at least equal to the values in the following
table based on the amperage of the active filter.
Active Filter Airflow Required m3/h (ft3/min) Power Section Dissipation

60 A 370 (217.7) 1.04 kW
120 A 830 (488.3) 2.48 kW
200 A 1900 (1117.8) 4.92 kW
300 A 1900 (1117.8) 6.54 kW
The control section also has a fan for its cooling needs. It requires 200 m3/h
(117.7 ft3/min) of air meeting Pollution Degree 2, i.e., does not contain conductive
particles, significant amounts of dust or corrosive or otherwise harmful gases.

If the hot air exiting the filter is not ducted and evacuated to the outside, it can be
recirculated back in, causing ineffective ventilation. To avoid this and help ensure
serviceability, leave enough free space around the chassis as indicated in the following
