Do not touch the components of the filter when the drive system is
connected to mains. The components are live when the drive system is
Do not touch the input / output terminals of the filter. They can have a
dangerous voltage also when the drive system is disconnected from
Before you do electrical work on the drive system, disconnect the drive
from the mains and make sure that the motor has stopped. Lock out
and tag out the power source to the drive system. Make sure that no
external source generates unintended voltage during work. Note that
also the load side of drive system can generate voltage.
Wait 5 minutes before you open the the cover of the filter product. Use a
measuring device to make sure that there is no voltage. The terminal
connections and the components of the filter can be live 5 minutes after
the drive system is disconnected from the mains and the motor has

1.3 Harmonic mitigation
Several mitigation methods can be found for the harmonics caused by AC drives. Most

commonly used are passive and active harmonic filters. The VLT

performance levels:
• AHF 005 with 5% THDi
• AHF 010 with 10% THDi
