1.- BASIC INSTRUCTIONS

This manual is designed to familiarise the user with operating the FAR-Q power factor correction and filtering equipment in order to get the best from its features.

FAR-Q hybrid filters are specifically developed for power factor correction on systems with medium harmonic distortion. The aim is to improve power factor and at the same

time, to attenuate harmonics. The operating principle consists in correcting power factor and at the same time absorbing the 5th and 7th harmonics generated by certain loads so that they do not get into the system or go towards other nearby loads.

Please read this manual carefully before connecting and switching on the instrument in order to avoid irreversible damage caused by improper use.

NOTE: So that absorption is effective the hybrid bank must be separate from the other

loads (other lines or users) by a shock reactor or transformer

1.1.- Checking the contents of your package

Please check the following points on receipt of the instrument:

a) The equipment delivered matches your order specifications.

b) Check that the voltage and frequency match the installation's.

c) After unpacking, check that the equipment has not been damaged during

delivery.

d) Check that it is equipped with the following standard items:

- Instruction manual of bank

- Instruction manual of regulator

- Current transformer (not included)

1.2.- Model range of FAR-Q

The range of standard FAR-Q equipment is shown in the following tables.

1.3.- Safety warnings

This manual contains information and warnings about the FAR-Q hybrid bank which must be followed to guarantee the proper operation of all instrument functions and to maintain it in a safe condition.

If the instrument is not installed in accordance with manufacturer's

specifications, the instrument's protection may be damaged.

Check that the protection devices are operating correctly.

2.- MAIN FEATURES

A FAR-Q hybrid filter is formed by various groups of inductances plus a capacitor in series, located in an appropriate cabinet. Each step is characterised by three parameters:

1) Power factor to be corrected at 50 or 60 Hz.

2) Harmonic to be filtered, generally 5th and 7th.
