1. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING
ONLY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN CAN CARRY OUT THE ELECTRICAL
INSTALLATION OF THIS FILTER
WARNING
High voltage is used in the operation of this filter. Use Extreme caution to avoid contact with
high voltage when operating, installing or repairing this filter. INJURY, DEATH AND/OR
PROPERTY DAMAGE MAY RESULT IF SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ARE NOT
OBSERVED.
After removing power, allow at least five minutes to elapse and verify that the capacitors
have discharged to a safe level before contacting internal components. Connect a DC
voltmeter across the capacitor terminals or terminals 1, 2 and 3 on terminal block 1TB.
Start with the meter on the highest scale and progressively switch to a lower scale as the
indicated voltage falls below the maximum value of the scale used.
WARNING
THE OPENING OF THE BRANCH CIRCUIT PROTECTIVE DEVICE MAY BE AN INDICATION THAT A
FAULT CURRENT HAS BEEN INTERRUPTED. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRICAL
SHOCK, CURRENT-CARRYING PARTS AND OTHER COMPONENTS OF THE FILTER SHOULD BE
EXAMINED AND REPLACED IF DAMAGED.
WARNING
AN UPSTREAM DISCONNECT/PROTECTION DEVICE MUST BE USED AS REQUIRED BY THE
NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE (NEC).
WARNING
EVEN IF THE UPSTREAM DISCONNECT/ PROTECTION DEVICE IS OPEN, THE DRIVE DOWN
STREAM OF THE FILTER MAY FEED BACK HIGH VOLTAGE TO THE FILTER. THE DRIVE
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS MUST BE FOLLOWED.
INJURY, DEATH AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE MAY RESULT IF THE DRIVE SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS ARE NOT O BSERVED.
WARNING
THE FILTER MUST BE GROUNDED WITH A GROUNDING CONDUCTOR CONNECTED TO
ALL GROUNDING TERMINALS

2. INTRODUCTION
GE Capacitor & Power Quality Product
This manual was specifically developed to
assist in the installation, interconnection and
operation of the GE Matrix Filter.
This manual is intended for use by personnel
experienced in the operation and maintenance
of electronic drives. Because of the high
voltages required by the filter and drive and
the potential dangers presented by rotating
machinery, it is essential that all personnel
involved in the operation and maintenance of
this filter know and practice the necessary
safety precautions for this type of equipment.
Personnel should read and understand the
instructions contained in this manual before
installing, operating or servicing the filter and
the drive to which the filter is connected.
Upon Receipt of this Filter:
The GE Matrix Filter has been subjected to
demanding factory tests before shipment.
Carefully inspect the shipping container for
damage that may have occurred in transit.
Then unpack the filter and carefully inspect for
any signs of damage. Save the shipping
container for future transport of the filter.
If the equipment is not going to be put into
service upon receipt, cover and store the filter
in a clean, dry location. After storage, ensure
that the equipment is dry and that no
condensation has accumulated on the internal
components of the filter before applying
power.
Repair/Exchange Procedure
GE requires a Returned Material Authorization
Number before it can accept any filters that
qualify for return or repair. If problems or
questions arise during installation, setup, or
operation of the filter, please call us for
assistance at:
Phone: 518-746-5793
FAX: 518-746-5524
In the event of damage, please contact and
file a claim with the freight carrier involved
immediately.

5. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
GE Capacitor & Power Quality Products
Filter Installation
Matrix Filters are supplied in the following
mechanical configurations:
Panel mounted assemblies
Floor mounted general purpose NEMA 1, 2,
& 3R cabinets
Industrial style NEMA 1 cabinets with
hinged doors.
Panel mounted filters are designed for
mounting in the vertical plane in the customer’s
enclosure. Include the power dissipation of the
filter along with all the other components
located in the panel to determine the internal
temperature rise and cooling requirements of
the enclosure. Allow a minimum side clearance
of four (4) inches and a vertical clearance of
six (6) inches for proper heat dissipation and
access. Figure 7 through Figure 15 contain
outline drawings for the various ratings and
show proper mounting orientation. For 5%
filters, Model numbers beginning with 37GM5,
refer to Figure 15 and Table 5 for the
dimensions of the separately mounted input
reactor.
Industrial style NEMA 1 enclosed filters are
designed for wall and floor mounting in the
vertical plane. Do not install in or near a
corrosive environment. Avoid locations where
the filter would be subjected to excessive
vibrations. For wall mounted enclosures allow
a minimum side clearance of eight (8) inches
and front clearance of forty-eight (48) inches
for proper heat dissipation and access. For
floor mounted enclosures allow a minimum
side and back clearance of eight (8) inches
and front clearance of forty-eight (48) inches
for proper heat dissipation and access. Table
will direct you to the appropriate outline
drawings shown in
Figure
20 through
7
Select a well ventilated, dust-free area away
from direct sunlight, rain or moisture. Do not
install in or near a corrosive environment.
Avoid locations where the filter would be
subjected to excessive vibrations.
General purpose NEMA 1, 2, and 3R enclosed
filters are designed for floor mounting in the
vertical plane in an environment suitable for
the enclosure type. Do not install in or near a
corrosive environment. Avoid locations where
the filter would be subjected to excessive
vibrations. Allow a minimum side and back
clearance of eight (8) inches and front
clearance of thirty-six (36) inches for proper
heat dissipation and access. Table 6 will direct
you to the appropriate outline drawings shown
in Figure 16 through Figure 19.
