General
During the operation filter modules can own according to their
protection class live, blank and if necessary even movable
parts, as well as hot surfaces.
The hazard of severe person or property damage exists at not
permissible removal of the required coverage, at inadmissible
application, at false Installation or operation.
Further information can be learned from the documentation.
All works for transport for installation and commissioning as
well as maintenance has to be done by specialized staff (IEC
60364 or CENELEC HD 384 or DIN VDE 0100 und IECReport 664 or DIN VDE 0110 and observe national accident
prevention regulations).
Specialized staffs in terms of these fundamental safety instructions are persons who are acquainted with installation,
assembly, commissioning and operation of the product and
who dispose through their work of the corresponding Qualifications.
2.
Conventional application
Filter modules are components that are conventional for the
installation in electrical systems or machines.
At the installation in machines is the start-up of the filter modules (the start of the conventional operation) prohibited until it
is determined that the machine complies with the regulations
of the EG directive 2006/42/EG (Machine directive); EN
60204 is to observe.
The start-up (the start of the conventional operation) is only
allowed under compliance of the EMC-directive. The filter
modules comply with the requirement of the low- voltage directive 2006/95/EG. The technical Data and also the data of
the connecting conditions have to be taken from the nameplate and the documentation and they have to be necessarily
observed.
3.
Transport, storage
Notes on transport, storage and appropriate handling must be
observed
At non-observance any warranty expires.
The power feedback unit has to be protected from inadmissible
stress.
The transport is only valid in original packaging and in the
thereon by pictograms marked transport position.
In particular during transport and handling no components are
allowed to be bent and / or isolating distances may not be altered. The units are equipped with electrostatic sensitive devices, which may be damaged by improper handling. Therefore it has to be avoided to get in contact with electronic components. If electronic components are damaged mechanically
the unit must not be put into operation, as it cannot be ensured, that all relevant standards are observed. Climatic conditions must be observed according to prEN 50178.
These safety instructions have to be kept!
Observe also the product specific safety- and application notes of these operating instructions!
ELTROPLAN - REVCON
Assembly
The Assembly and cooling of the devices must occur accordingly the instructions of the respective documentation.
The filter modules have to be protected of not permissible
stress. Particularly at transport und handling no components must have to be bent and / or insulation distances being changed. The touch of electric components and contacts is therefore to avoid. Electric components must not be
mechanical damaged or destroyed. (Under conditions
health hazards!).
At mechanical defects at electric and other components it is
not allowed to start up the device, because a compliance of
applied standards is not longer guaranteed.
5.
Electrical connection
At live-line working on filter modules apply national accident
prevention regulations (VBG 4) must be observed. Before
any installation- and connection works the system must be
operated on dead voltage and accordingly must be secured.
The electric installation must be performed according to the
respective instructions (e.g. cable cross- section, fuses,
connection to the protective conductor). At usage of the filter module with drive system control without a safe disconnect from the supplying circuit (according to VDE 0100) all
control cables must be included in additional protective
measures (e.g. double insulated or shielded, grounded and
insulated).
Notes for the EMV-conform installation – like shielding,
grounding, arrangements of filter modules and the installing
of conductors – are located in the chapter “Installation of
these operating instructions”. These notes must even be
observed at CE-marked propulsion converters. The compliance of the required limit values by the EMV- legislation is
up to the responsibility of the manufacturer of the system or
the machine.
6.

Introduction
3 Introduction into the subject harmonics
3.1 The effect of harmonics in a power distribution system
In figure 2 a transformer is connected on the primary side to a common point of cou-
pling PCC1 on the medium voltage supply. The transformer has an impedance ZT und
supplies a number of loads.
At a common coupling point PCCP2 all loads are connected. Each load is connected
through wires that have the corresponding impedances Z1, Z2 und Z3:
Figure 2: The effects of harmonics
Harmonic currents drawn by non-linear loads cause distortion of the voltage because
of the voltage drop on the impedances of the distribution system. Higher impedances
result in higher levels of voltage distortion.
Current distortion relates to the device performance and it relates to the individual
load. Voltage distortion relates to system performance .It is not possible to determine
the voltage distortion in the PCC knowing only the load’s harmonic performance .
14
Operating instructions RHF
ELTROPLAN - REVCON
Elektrotechnische Anlagen GmbH
Introduction
The configuration of the distribution system and the relevant impedances must be
known to calculate the distortion in the PCC.
A commonly used term to describe the impedance of a grid is the short circuit ra-
tio Rsce, defined as the ratio between the short circuit apparent power of the
supply at the PCC (Ssc) and the rated apparent power of the load (S
with
and
3.2 The negative effect of harmonics is twofold
• Harmonic currents contribute to system losses (power cable, transformer etc.)
• Harmonic voltage distortion causes disturbances to other loads and increase
losses in other loads
3.3 Harmonic limitation standards and requirements
The requirements for harmonic limitation are:
equ
).
• Application specific requirements
• Requirements from standards that have to be observed
The application specific requirements are related to a specific installation with
technical reasons for limiting the harmonics.
For example: A 250kVA transformer is connected with two 110kW motors. One is
connected direct and the other motor is supplied by a frequency converter.
If the other motor should also be supplied by a frequency converter, the trans-
former will, in this case, sized too small.
If the system should be retrofitted without changing the transformer, the harmonic
distortion caused by two drives must be mitigated using RHF filters.

Introduction
There are various harmonic mitigation standards, regulations and recommenda-
tions. Different standards are applied in different geographical areas and indus-
tries. The following standards that are applicable will be specified:
• IEC/EN 61000-3-2
• IEC/EN 61000-3-12
• IEC/EN 61000-3-4
• IEC 61000-2-2
• IEC 61000-2-4
• IEEE 519
• G5/4
IEC 61000-3-2:
The scope of IEC 61000-3-2 is equipment connected to the public low-voltage
distribution system with an input current up to and including 16 A per phase. Four
emission classes are defined: Class A through D.
IEC 61000-3-12:
The scope of IEC 61000-3-12 is equipment connected to the public low-voltage
distribution system having an input current between 16A and 75A.
The emission limits are currently only for 230/400V 50Hz systems and limits for
other systems will be added in the future. The emission limits that apply for drives
are given in Table 4 in the standard. There are requirements for individual har-
monics (5th, 7th, 11th, and 13th) and for THD and PWHD.

Introduction
IEC 61000-3-4:
Limits, Limitation of emission of harmonic currents in low-voltage power supply
systems for equipment with rated current greater than 16A.
The IEC 61000-3-12 supersedes IEC 61000-3-4 for currents up to 75A. Therefore
the scope of IEC 61000-3-4 is equipment with rated current greater than 75A con-
nected to the public low voltage distribution system. It has the status of a Tech-
nical report and should not be seen as an international standard.
A three-stage assessment procedure is described for the connection of equip-
ment to the public supply and equipment above 75A is limited to stage 3 connec-
tion based on the load's agreed power. The supply authority may accept the con-
nection of the equipment on the basis of the agreed active power of the load's in-
stallation and local requirements of the power supply authority apply. The manu-
facturer shall provide individual harmonics and the values for THD and PWHD.
IEC 61000-2-2 and IEC 61000-2-4: The IEC 61000-2-2 and IEC 61000-2-4 are
standards that stipulate compatibility levels for low-frequency conducted disturb-
ances in public low-voltage supply systems (IEC 61000-2-2) and industrial plants
(IEC 61000-2-4).
These low-frequency disturbances include harmonics, but are not limited to har-
monics.
The values prescribed in these standards should be taken into consideration
when planning installations. In some situations the harmonic compatibility levels
cannot be observed in installations with frequency converters and harmonic miti-
gation is needed.
IEEE519,:
IEEE519 establishes goals for the design of electrical systems that include both
linear and nonlinear loads. Waveform distortion goals are established and the in-
terface between sources and loads is described as point of common coupling
(PCC).

ELTROPLAN - REVCON
Elektrotechnische Anlagen GmbH
Introduction
IEEE519 is a system standard that aims the control of the voltage distortion at the
PCC to a THD of 5% and limits the maximum individual frequency voltage har-
monic to 3%. The development of harmonic current limits aims the limitation of
harmonic injection from individual customers so they will not cause unacceptable
voltage distortion levels and the limitation of the overall harmonic distortion of the
system voltage supplied by the utility.
The current distortion limits are given in Table 10.3 in the standard and depend on
the ratio ISC/IL where ISC is the short circuit current at the utility PCC and IL is the
maximum demand load current.
The limits are given for individual harmonics up to the 35th and total demand dis-
tortion (TDD). Please note that these limits apply at the PCC to the utility. While
requiring individual loads to comply with these limits also ensures the compliance
at the PCC, this is rarely the most economic solution, being unnecessarily ex-
pensive. The most effective way to meet the harmonic distortion requirements is
to mitigate at the individual loads and measure at the PCC.
If in a specific application it is required that the individual drive should comply with
the IEEE519 current distortion limits, an AHF can be employed to meet these lim-
its.
G5/4, Engineering recommendation, planning levels for harmonic voltage
distortion and the connection of nonlinear equipment to transmission sys-
tems and distribution networks in the United Kingdom:
G5/4 sets the Planning levels for harmonic voltage distortion to be used in the pro-
cess of connecting non-linear equipment. A process for establishing individual cus-
tomer emission-limits based on these planning levels is described.
G5/4 is a system level standard. For 400V the voltage THD planning level is 5%
at the PCC. Limits for odd and even harmonics in 400V systems are given in Ta-
ble 2 in the standard. An assessment procedure for the connection of non-linear
equipment is described. The procedure follows three stages, aiming to balance
the level of detail required by the assessment process with the degree of risk that
the connection of particular equipment will result in unacceptable voltage har-
monic distortion
.

Introduction
3.4 Harmonic Mitigation
To mitigate the harmonics caused by the frequency converter 6-pulse rectifier
several solutions exist and they all have their advantages and disadvantages. The
choice of the right solution depends on several factors:
• The grid (background distortion, mains unbalance, resonance and type of
supply – transformer / generator)
• Application (load profile, number of loads and load size)
• Local / national requirements/regulations (IEEE519, IEC, G5/4, etc.)
• Total cost of ownership (initial cost, efficiency, maintenance, etc.)
IEC standards are harmonized by various countries or supranational organiza-
tions. All above mentioned IEC standards are harmonized in the European Union
with the prefix “EN”.
For example the European EN 61000-3-2 is the same as IEC 61000-3-2. The situ-
ation is similar in Australia and New Zealand, with the prefixes AS/NZS.
Harmonic solutions can be divided into two main categories: Passive and active
were the passive solutions consist of capacitors, inductors or a combination of
the two in different arrangements.
The simplest solution is to add inductors/reactors of typically 3% to 5% in front of
the frequency converter. This added inductance reduces the amount of harmonic
currents produced by the drive.
More advanced passive solutions combine capacitors and inductors in trap ar-
rangement specially tuned to eliminate harmonics starting from e.g. the 5th har-
monic.

4 Introduction into the subject filter modules
4.1 Function principle REVCON RHF
The REVCON RHF consists of a main inductor L0 and a two-stage absorption cir-
cuit with the inductance L1 and L2 and the capacitors C1 and C2.
The absorption circuit eliminates harmonics starting at the fifth order and is specif-
ic for the designed supply frequency.
The filter performance in terms of THDI varies as a function of the load.
Figure 3: Function principle RHF
The REVCON RHF is available in two variants for two performance levels: RHF-B with
5% THDI (total current harmonic distortion) and RHF-A with 10% THDI. The strategy
behind the two levels is to offer a performance similar to 12 pulse rectifiers with the
RHF-A and a performance similar to 18 pulse rectifiers with RHF-B.
The filter performance in terms of THDI varies as a function of the load. At nominal
load the performance of the filter should be equal or better than 10% THDI for RHF-A
and 5% THDI for RHF-B.
At partial load the THDI has higher values. However, the absolute value of the har-
monic current is lower at partial loads, even if the THDI has a higher value. Conse-
quently, the negative effect of the harmonics at partial loads will be lower than at full
load. All THDI values are typical values and must be verified in accordance to chapter
3.1 .

Introduction
It can be observed that at partial load 15A, the THDI is approximately 14%, com-
pared to 10% at the nominal load of 34A. On the other hand, the total harmonic
current is only 2.07A at 15A line current against 3.39A harmonic current at 34A
line current. Therefore is the THDI only a relative indicator of the harmonic perfor-
mance. The harmonic distortion of the voltage will be less at partial load than at
nominal load. Factors such as background distortion and grid unbalance can affect
the performance of RHF- filter. The specific figures are different from filter to filter
and the graphs below show typical performance characteristics.
Background distortion: The design of the filters aims to achieve 10% respectively
5% THDI levels with a background distortion of THDU = 2%. Practical measure-
ments on typical grid conditions in installations with frequency converters show
that often the performance of the filter is slightly better with a 2% background dis-
tortion.
The complexity of the grid conditions and the different specific harmonics cannot
allow a general rule about the performance on a distorted grid. Therefore the
worst-case performance is chosen to consider characteristics with the background
distortion:

Introduction
4.2 Harmonic line filter for frequency converters
Passive harmonic compensation of the input current of the frequency converter:
The harmonic line filter is used to reduce the circuit harmonic distortions of non
linear loads, which are supplied with uncontrolled B6- bridge rectifiers, how for
example frequency converters. At the REVCON® RHF it is about a passive filter
module.
It is not aligned to single frequencies how a absorption circuit, but works how a
Band- stop filter that attenuates strong all low harmonic oscillations approx. until
the fiftieth.
For comparison are in the following chart the circuit harmonic distortions of some
potential circuits in principle represented by means of the THDI (total harmonic
distortion of current) at the rated point of the rectifier:

5 EU- directives / Declaration of conformity
5.1 What is the purpose of EU-directives?
The EU-directives are composed by the European Council and are used as definitions of common technical requirements and certification procedures inside the
European Community. At the moment there are 30 EU-directives for different sections. The standards are or will be converted by the respective member states in
national laws. An in a member state issued certificate is automatically valid without
more testing in all other member states.
The directive- texts restrict on the formulation of the essentially requirement.
The technical details are or will be defined in European harmonized standards.
5.2 What is the meaning of the CE- marking?
After an already made Conformity valuation method the accordance with the requirements of the EU- directives will be confirmed by the mounting of a CEmarking. Within the EU there are no trade barriers for a CE-marked product.
Filter modules with CE-marking comply independently, exclusively the low voltagestandard. The filter modules are considered as inherently benign and therefore
out of the scope of the EMC-standard (EMC directive 2014/30/EU).
5.3 EG-directive low voltage
Low voltage-directive (2014/35/EU)
General:
• The low voltage-directive is valid for all electrical devices to use at a nominal voltage between 50V and 1000V alternating voltage and between 75V and 1500V direct voltage and at usual environmental condition. Expected is for example the usage of electrical devices in explosive atmosphere and electrical parts of personand freight elevator.
• Protection target of the low voltage-directive is to put only such electrical devices
on the market, which do not endanger the safety of humans or animals and the
conservation of material assets.

6 Selection of the right filter module and technical data
To reach optimal performance of the filter module and to operate it durable optimal, the filter module must be sized so that it fits to the load defined by the line input current of the frequency converter
=> I
FC,L
This is the input current of the frequency converter, not to be confused with the
classification of the frequency converter which is the output(motor) current of the
frequency converter.
6.1 Calculation
The line input current I

and cos φ. Both data are to be found for example on the name plate of
M,N
can be calculated with the data of the motor, nominal
FC,L
the motor.
In the case that the nominal motor voltage, U
age UL, the calculated current I
must be corrected with the ratio between these
FC,L
is unequal to the actual line volt-
M,N
voltages and with the following equation:
The equation is:
! !!
The chosen RHF filter module must have an equal nominal current I
RMS
, which
complies with the line input current of the frequency converter or which is larger.
"
#
Do not oversize the RHF. The best harmonic performance is obtained at nominal filter load.
Using an oversized filter will most likely result in worse THDI performance.
If several frequency converters are operated on the same filter module, the RHF
filter module must be dimensioned with the sum of the calculated line input currents.
Stop!
If the RHF module is sized for a specified load and the motor is exchanged or modified
afterwards, the current must be calculated again to prevent an overload of the filter
module.

6.3 Characteristics
• Small compact size
• Reduction of the THDI to ≤ 15% (10%) at type RHF-A (RHF-B)
• Optional THDI = 5% (depends on the application)
• Power range 4kW to 440KW
• High Efficiency
• User-friendly commissioning, because no programming or setting necessary
Note:
1. The reduction of the low- frequency circuit harmonic distortions on the speci-
fied THD I data implies, that the total harmonic distortion of the unaffected line
voltage THD U smaller than 2%. Under this requirement the THD I improve of
the line current of the drive controller with the filter module REVCON® RHF
A/B to typically ≤15%. When these requirements are not or only partially complied, it still implies a significant reduction of the harmonic components, but
under conditions the specified THD I-data will be not achieved.
2. Under den same conditions the THD I improves the main current of the drive
control with the filter module REVCON® RHF-B to typically ≤10%.
3. With the filter module a more better filter effect can be achieved, if the drive
control is equipped with a link choke, which inductance complies to a net-
sided choking of approx. 4%. At this Configuration THD I-data result of
<10% at otherwise same requirements as beneath 1 respectively of <5% at
otherwise the same requirements as beneath 2.

6.7 Cable cross section
When wiring a RHF-filter module the drive system should be wired with the same
cross section as without filter module.
6.8 General information
With this information the installers and users of a plant should be given information
on special characteristics and rules in terms on a filter module.
With this information no demand of completeness will be raised.
Compensation plants without chokes and resonance danger
Compensation plants are used in centre of the power supplies of companies. Disturbances or damages at these plants can affect to the power supplies of the company and cause expensive losses of production.
In fact today therr are still many compensation plants without chokes used although the actual guidelines are in conflict with this fact.. The problems, which can
occur in connection with a compensation plant without chokes, are manifold:
- Direct Resonance
- Resonance lifting
- Switching transients or
- Impairment of ripple control transmission
Rising of resonances is not determined whether an operation itself causes harmonic distortions. Decisive for the risk to encounter a resonance is the compensation power at the transformer. The risk of a resonance will rise together with the
compensation power and is influenced by the harmonic load of the medium voltage level, which is transmitted by the transformer and effects the low-voltage level.
Limit exceeding, caused by resonance lifting, may particularly bedetected especially for the 5th harmonic.

7.1 Mechanical installation
Important information
• Use the filter modules only as built-in type!
• Observe the free space of the installation!
– Several filter modules in one electrical enclosure can be mounted without
clearance side by side.
– Observe 150mm free space above- and below (see figure 24).
• The natural convection must not be constrained.
• At polluted convection (dust, fibrous material, fat, aggressive gases), which
could affect the function of the filter module:
– Make adequate retaliatory actions, for example separate airflow, mounting of fil-
ter modules, regular cleaning, etc.
• Do not exceed the admissible range of the operating- ambient temperature.

Warning!
Warning before touching a hot surface! The direct touching can lead to a burning of the
skin!
IP 20:
• The free space of the filter module must average minimum 150 mm
• The surface temperature of the IP 20 filter module does not exceed 70°C
• The filter module can be mounted side by side among the frequency converter

STOP
ELTROPLAN - REVCON
Elektrotechnische Anlagen GmbH
7.3 Specified mounting position
A vertical assembling is specified. The terminals must be placed at the bottom.
When assembling the device within an electrical enclosure it must be ensured, that
the dissipation heat in the electrical enclosure is discharged adequately. The air
temperature of 45°C in direct proximity of the device must not be exceeded. The
air input- and air outlet on the up- and bottom side of the device (as far as available) must not be buried by installation material as cable ducts or other devices.
When mounting external of a cabinet it is recommended to use the mounting
plates (accessories) and mounting rails .
Stop!
If these mounting instructions are not observed, this can lead to a thermal overcharge of
the filter module.
Caution!
Installation
If these mounting instructions and the connection instructions (chapter 9.2) are not ob-
served, this can lead to a thermal overcharge of the filter module and under circum-
stances to a production of smoke and/or a burning.

Elektrotechnische Anlagen GmbH
Installation
7.4 The air ventilation
The filter modules are cooled by ventilation. Therefore the air must be able to
move free above and below the filter module. If the filter module is mounted in an
electrical enclosure or in other industrial enclosures, it must be guaranteed, that an
adequate airflow streams through the filter module to diminish the the danger of
overheating of filter module and surrounding components.
If other heat sources for example the frequency converter are installed in the same
enclosure, the heat that is generated by both components must be considered
when sizing the cooling for the enclosure.
The filter modules must be mounted on the wall in that way, that the air is guided
through the air gap between wall and filter module (see figure 25). At an Installation on rails without rear panel, the filter module is not cooled adequate, because
of the wrong air flow. This is only allowed with the optional rear panel.
Figure 25 shows the correct mounting of the filter module:

8.2 Operation principle RHF
The REVCON RHF consists of a main inductor L0 and a two-stage absorption circuit.
The absorption circuit eliminates harmonics starting at the fifth order and is specific for the designed supply frequency.
The filter performance in terms of THDI varies as a function of the load.

• The cable-cross sections are references and apply to the operation
– in electrical enclosures and machines
– Installation in the line channel
– max. ambient air temperature +45°C.
• At the choice of the cable-cross section the fall of voltage should be considered
at load.
The observance of further standards (EN 60204-1, VDE 0289 and others) is
up to the responsibility of the installer of the plant / the operator.
Connection:
• All connections have to be done as short and induction less as possible.
• To be compliant with the EMC-directives (according to consisting standards as
EN 61800-3:2004 / IEC 61800-3:2004) shielded lines have to be applied.
• The connection must occur done with three phases (active wires).
• Connect the protective conductor of the input lead at the earth bolt of the de-
vice.

8.6 Installation in a CE- typical drive system
• The responsibility for the compliancy of the EG directives with the
information
Machine application is one for the user.
– If you observe the following measures, you can assume, that at the operation of the
machine no by the filter module caused EMC-problems occur and that the EGdirectives respectively the EMC-directives are complied.
– If devices are operated in proximity to the filter modules, which do not comply with
the CE-standards in terms of the interference immunity of the EN 500082-2, these
devices can be affected electromagnetic by the filter module.
• Connect filter modules extensive to the earthed mounting plate:
– Mounting plates with electrical conducting surface (zinc coated or stainless steel) al-
low a durable contacting.
– Coated plates are not adequate for a EMC-conform installation
• If you use several mounting plates:
– Connect mounting plates extensive and conducting to each other (for example with
copper band)
• At the installing of lines observe the spatial separation of the power lines from the
control lines.
• Conduits preferably close by reference potential. Levitating lines operate as anten-
na.
• Metallic cable connections ensure an extensive connection
of the shield with the enclosure
• At contactors and clamps in the shielded lines:
- Interconnect the shields of the three connected lines and also connect extensive
with the mounting plate
• At power lines among the interference filter and the drive system longer as 300mm:
- Shield power lines
- Connect the shield of the power lines direct to the drive controller / to the feed
back unit, to the interference filter and to the filter module and connect extensive
to the mounting plate.
• Shield the control lines:
- Connect the shield beeline to the shield connections.
• Ground all metallic electrically conductive Components (feedback unit, drive control-
ler, interference filter and filter module) by corresponding lines from a central
(ground point, PE-bar).
• Observe the in den safety regulations defined minimum cable cross section:
- But for the EMC is not the cable cross section decisive, but the surface of the line
and the 2-dimensional contacting.

8.7 Installation
Functional- and proper construction of electrical enclosure or plant:
To avoid disturbance decoupling of lines is important:
a) Power-/supply lines
b) Motor lines of converters / servo amplifiers
c) And control- and data lines (low voltage level < 48 V) must be installed with a
clearance of minimum 15 centimeters.
To receive low resistive high frequency connections, groundings and shielding
and other metallic connections (for example mounting plate, installed devices)
must be applied extensive on metallic blank background. Use grounding- and potential equalization lines with large as possible cross-section (minimum 10mm²)
or thick ground strap.
Use shielded lines only with copper- or tinned copper braid, because steel braid
is inappropriate in high frequency range. Always connect the shield with clamps
or metal bolting on the equalization lines, and accordingly PE-connections. No
extending with single conductors!
Inductive switching elements (contactor, relay and similar) always must beconnected to suppressor elements like varistors, RC-circuits or protective diodes.
Make all connections as short as possible and lead close to reference potential,
because levitating lines operate as antenna.
Avoid loops at all connection lines. Lay not accounted stranded wires on both
sides at protective earth.
At unshielded lines forward- and return conductor must be twisted, to attenuate
symmetric disturbances.

8.9 Note
An electrical enclosure has to be divided fundamentally in power area and control
area. It is irrelevant, if the system is installed inside an electrical enclosure or
comprises several electrical enclosures. Because of the strong radiation of the
power lines the installation of a screening wall is recommended to separate the
control lines. It must be excellent connected with the frame or the mounting plate
(remove the lacquer).
The mounting plate of the drive control is to be used as star point for the total
grounding and screening connection in the machine or plant. If the drive or other
plant components emit or suffer disturbances, the HF- connection of these components is bad. In that case a potential equalization must be parallel executed.

Capacitor disconnection
10 Capacitor disconnection
In no load conditions (standby-operation) the frequency converter current is negli-
gible. The main current drawn at standby operation at the input of the harmonic fil-
ter is a purely capacitive reactive current which flows through the capacitor of the
harmonic filter. This reactive current component corresponds typically to ca. 20-
25% of the specified nominal harmonic filter current (depending on the respective
harmonic filter type). The power factor of the drive is at this condition very low and
changes, depending on the load, to one.
The following graphs show typical values for the true power factor of a RHF-A and
RHF-B:

To reduce this reactive current and to prevent an overcompensation of the mains it
is recommended to disconnect this reactive current at standby operation. This reactive current can be disconnected by a contactor which must replace the short
circuit wires between terminals X3 and X4 . Depending on the short-circuit power
in the most industrial mains supplies a commercial AC3 contactor can be used for
the disconnection. The power of the AC3 contactor should be minimum 50%
of the nominal power of the filter. This contactor can be connected and disconnected, depending on the drive performance, to a load of maximal 30%.
Wait 25 seconds before restarting until the capacitors are discharged completely.
To ensure dynamic cycles of operation the C-disconnection may be done with
special capacitor contactors. In this case the connection of the capacitors may
be done to a maximal power of 30% without holding time!
Capacitor disconnection
For drives operating on generators (e.g. ship applications) capacitor contactors are
recommended in general.
