Introduction to VLT Active ...VLT Active Filter AAF 00x
3 Introduction to VLT Active Filter AAF00x
3.1.1 Working Principle
VLT® Active Filter AAF00x is a device for harmonic current
mitigation and reactive current compensation. The unit is
designed for installation in various systems and
applications as centrally installed filter(s) or combined with
a VLT frequency converter as a packaged low harmonic
drive solution.
The counter phase signals are generated by setting
different IGBT switches in real time feeding a DC-voltage
into the grid. The compensated current waveform is
smoothened via a built-in LCL filter making sure that the
IGBT switching frequency and DC-component is not
imposed to the grid. The filter is able to operate on
generator or transformer supply and is able to reduce
individual motor, non-linear loads or mixed loads. All
nonlinear-loads (diode feed loads) must hold AC coils to
protect these units against over current of the input
diodes.
3

The active shunt filter monitor all three phase line currents
and process the measured current signal via a digital
signal processor system. The filter then compensates by
actively imposing signals in counter phase to the
unwanted elements of the current.
The factory settings allow for fast start-up but dedicated
programming is possible through the local user control
panel LCP allowing adaptation to more demanding
applications.
The filter allows either overall or selective harmonic
compensation modes. In overall compensation mode all
harmonics will be reduced towards zero. The filter will in
this operation mode also balance out the load to reduce
uneven load distribution between the three phases. The
steady state performance will allow compensate of
harmonics until 40th order but the ultra-quick current
injection allow the filter also to compensate flicker and
other quick and short term phenomenon. In selective
mode the filter allows the user to program acceptable
individual harmonic levels between 5th and 25th order.
The filter will in selective mode not reduce even harmonic
orders nor triplings and will not support phase load
balancing and flicker reduction.
Beside the harmonic compensation mode the filter also
allow the user to program the filter priority from either
reactive current or harmonic compensation. If harmonic
compensation is chosen as the 1st priority, the filter will
use needed current for harmonic reduction and use energy
for reactive current correction only if excessive energy is at
hand. The filter will automatically and continuously assign
energy between 1st and 2nd priority to provide highest

Introduction to VLT Active ...VLT Active Filter AAF 00x
3
possible mitigation of both reactive and harmonic
compensation. This reassures that the true power factor is
continuously optimized and that highest possible
utilization of the supply transformer current is secured.
Filter LCP give user a friendly programming structure and
allow multiple readouts on the LCP. Some read outs are
calculated and approximated values and consequently
cannot be weighted up against readout of a power quality
analyser due to different sample rates and harmonic order
content.
It is not possible to overload the active filter due to the
self protection circuitry that automatically reduces the
compensated current to a level where the filter is at a
stable temperature condition. In case the mitigation
demand is higher then the filter rating the filter will
compensate to the best of it ability and leave remaining
harmonics or reactive currents unaffected.
The active filter is as standard equipped with a RFI filter
fulfilling EMC industrial (second) environment standard
IEC55011 Class A2 equal category C3 of IEC61800-3.

How to InstallVLT Active Filter AAF 00x
NOTE
A door fan(s) is required on the enclosure to remove the
heat losses not contained in the backchannel of the unit
and any additional losses generated from other
components installed inside the enclosure. The total
required air flow must be calculated so that the
appropriate fans can be selected. Some enclosure
manufacturers offer software for performing the
calculations (i.e. Rittal Therm software).
Airflow
The necessary airflow over the heat sink must be secured.
The flow rate is shown below.
Note that the power cables are heavy and difficult to
bend. Consider the optimum position of the unit for
ensuring easy installation of the cables.
Each terminal allows use of up to 4 cables with cable lugs
or use of standard box lug. Earth is connected to relevant
termination point in the unit.
4.3.5 Cooling and Airflow
Cooling
Cooling can be obtained in different ways, by using the
cooling ducts in the bottom and the top of the unit, by
taking air in the back of the unit or by combining the
cooling possibilities.
Back cooling
The design of the active filter is built on a backchannel
cooling system where 85% of all heat is ducted via an IP54
segregated backchannel. This reduces the needed airflow
inside the enclosure and ensures less moist and dust
ventilation across vital components.
The backchannel air is normally ventilated via the plint
inlet and ducted out the top of the enclosure. The design
of the backchannel does, however, also allow air to be
taken from outside the control room and dusted back out
again. This is supported to ease stress on the control room
air conditioner and so conserve energy. To support back
wall inlet, the unit air inlet has to be blocked via an
optional cover and the air outlet ducted via an optional
top duct.
Table 4.1 Heatsink Air Flow
NOTE
For the active filter, the fan runs for the following reasons:
1.Active filter running
2.Specific heatsink temperature exceeded (power
size dependent)
3.Specific Power Card ambient temperature
exceeded (power size dependent)
4.Specific Control Card ambient temperature
exceeded
Once the fan is started it will run for minimum 10 minutes.
External ducts
If additional duct work is added externally to the Rittal
cabinet the pressure drop in the ducting must be
calculated. Use the charts below to derate the unit
according to the pressure drop.

Cabling and fusing
NOTE
Cables General
44
All cabling must comply with national and local
regulations on cable cross-sections and ambient
temperature. UL applications require 75 °C copper
conductors. 75° and 90 °C copper conductors are thermally
acceptable for use in non UL applications.
NOTE
If is insufficient to rate the power cable for the filter
current rating alone due to skin and proximity effects.
The power cable connections are situated as shown below.
The mains connection is fitted to the mains switch if this is
included. Dimensioning of cable cross section must be
done in accordance with the filter current rating including
skin and proximity effects, derating and local legislation.
Mains must be connected to terminals 91, 92 and 93. Earth
is connected to the terminal to the right of terminal 93.

The conductor is predominantly carrying currents of high
frequencies so the distribution of current is not evenly
dispersed throughout the cross section of the conductor.
This is due to two independent effects known as skin
effect and proximity effect. Both effects make derating
necessary and consequently the mains wire of the Active
Filters have to be rated at a higher current then the filter
rating itself.

The required derating is calculated as two separate factors:
one for the skin effect and one for the proximity effect.
The skin factor is depending on frequency of conduct,
cable material and cable dimensions. The proximity effect
is depending on the number of conducts, diameters and
distance between the individual cables.
The optimized mains wire is:
Cupper wires
•
Single conducts
•
Busbars
•
The reason for that is that cupper has lower skin effect
factors then aluminium, busbars have bigger surface area
compared to cables reducing the skin effect factor and
proximity effects of single conducts is negligible.
The following cables specifications take both skin and
proximity effects into account:

Due to the built-in LCL filter the unit will not feed the main wire with high dU/dt signals. That reduces the radiated
emission through the power cable. Cable screen/shielding can thus be omitted allowing the mains cables to be connected
without considering EMC requirements.
The Active Filter will be able to run at long cable runs. Cable length is limited by the voltage drop. It is advised to keep the
cable lengths to less then 200m.
For protection of the active filter, the recommended fuses must be used or the unit must be with built-in fuses.
Recommended fuses can be seen in the tables of the fuse section. Always ensure that proper fusing is made according to
local regulation.

How to InstallVLT Active Filter AAF 00x
4.5.2 Earthing
The following basic issues need to be considered when
installing an active filter, so as to obtain electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC).
Safety earthing: Please note that the active filter
•
has leakage current and must be earthed
appropriately for safety reasons. Apply local
safety regulations.
High-frequency earthing: Keep the earth wire
•
connections as short as possible.
Connect the different earth systems at the lowest possible
conductor impedance. The lowest possible conductor
impedance is obtained by keeping the conductor as short
as possible and by using the greatest possible surface area.
The metal cabinets of the different devices are mounted
on the cabinet rear plate using the lowest possible HF
impedance. This avoids having different HF voltages for
the individual devices and avoids the risk of radio
interference currents running in connection cables that
may be used between the devices. The radio interference
will have been reduced. In order to obtain a low HF
impedance, use the fastening bolts of the devices as HF
connection to the rear plate. It is necessary to remove
insulating paint or similar from the fastening points.
current. If ELCB relays are used, local regulations must be
observed. To reassure effective protection and unintended
tripping of protective relays, all relays must be suitable for
protection of 3-phase equipment with active current infeed
and for a brief discharge during power-up. It is
recommended to use a type with adjustable trip amplitude
and time characteristics. Select a current sensor with
sensitivity of more then 200mA and not less than 0.1second operation time.
44
4.5.4 RFI Switch
Mains supply isolated from earth
If the Active filter is supplied from an isolated mains
source (IT mains, floating delta and grounded delta) or
TT/TN-S mains with grounded leg, the RFI switch is
recommended to be turned off (OFF) 1) via 14-50 RFI Filter
on the unit. For further reference, see IEC 364-3. In OFF,
the internal RFI capacities between the chassis and the
intermediate circuit are cut off to avoid damage to the
intermediate circuit and to reduce the earth capacity
currents (according to IEC 61800-3). Please also refer to the
application note VLT on IT mains, MN.90.CX.02. It is
important to use isolation monitors that are capable for
use together with power electronics (IEC 61557-8).
Illustration 4.27 Example of Earth Terminal Position
Torque
4.5.5
When tightening all electrical connections it is very
important to tighten with the correct torque. Too low or
too high torque results in a bad electrical connection. Use
a torque wrench to ensure correct torque. Below is the

NOTE
Always use a torque wrench to tighten the bolts.
4.5.6 Shielded Cables
It is important that shielded cables are connected in a
proper way to ensure high EMC immunity and low
emissions.
Connection can be made using either cable glands or
clamps:
EMC cable glands: Generally available cable
•
glands can be used to ensure an optimum EMC
connection.
EMC cable clamp: Clamps allowing easy
•
connection are supplied with the unit.
Current Transformer (CT)
4.5.7
The filter operates in close loop operation by receiving
current signals for external current transformers. The
received signal is processed and the filter reacts according
to programmed actions.
CAUTION
Incorrect current transformer connection, installation or
configuration will lead to unintended and uncontrollable
behaviour of the filter.
All other technical data like dynamic rated current,
maximal permitted operating voltage, thermal
dimensioning of continuous current, thermal dimensioning
of short-time current, over current limit, isolation class,
working temperature range etc. are specific values of the
system and have to be defined during the project planning
phase of the equipment.
RMS Specification
The minimum RMS has to be determined by the total
current that passes through the current transformer. It is
important that the current sensor is not too small leading
to saturation of the sensor. Add 10% margin and pick the
next following bigger standard RMS rate. It is advised to
use current transformers which has a RMS rating close to
the maximum current that flows through it to allow the
highest possible accuracy of the measurement and so an
ideal compensation.
CT Burden
In order to ensure that the current transformer performs
according to specifications, the rated burden should not
be above the true current requirement by the Active Filter.
The burden of the CT is depending on the wire type and
the cable length between the CT and the filter CT
connection terminal. The filter itself contributes with 2mΩ.
NOTE
The accuracy of the CT is depending on wire type and
length of the cable between filter and current transformer.
NOTE
The current transformers are not part of the filter package
and must be purchased separately.

The required (minimum) CT burden can be calculated as:

1 or 5 Amp CT Set-up
To allow for possible reuse of already present CT
transformers, the VLT Active Filter allows use of either 1
Amp or 5 Amp CTs. The filter is as standard set-up for 5
Amp CT feedback. If the CTs are 1 Amp, redirect the CT
terminal plug from slot MK101, pos. 1, to MK108, pos. 2,
on the AFC card, see Illustration 4.29.
Example
Calculation example for correct current transformer for an
application with:
RMS= 653Amp, Distance between filter and CT’s of 30m.
RMS=653*1.1= 719A, CT RMS = 750Amp. Burden :
30m@2.5mm2 wire => 25*0.0082*30+1.25=7.4 => 7.5 [VA].
Current transformer installation
The unit only supports three CT installations. External CTs
should be installed on all three phases to detect the
harmonic content of the grid. The flow direction of the
sensor is in most cases indicated by an arrow. The arrow
should point in the direction of the current flow and so
towards the load. In case the flow direction is incorrectly
programmed the polarity can be changed via filter
Illustration 4.29 AFC Board
300-25 CT Polarity. 300-25 CT Polarity can program the
polarity of all three phases individually.
Individual or group compensation
The compensation of the filter depends on the signal that
is returned from the current transformers. The point of
installation for these sensors is so determine the loads that
are corrected.
