General
The KEB harmonic filter is used for reduction of the line harmonics. The filter is a
continuity filter like a laminated mains choke.
the line during optimal conditions are created for the inverter on the output side
of the filter. Fundamentally the filter module is reliable on delivery.
All work from the transport, to installation and start-up as well as maintenance
may only be done by qualified personnel (IEC 364 and/or CENELEC HD 384
and IEC-Report 664 and note national safety regulations). According to this
manual qualified staff means those who are able to recognise and judge the
possible dangers based on their technical training and experience and those
with knowledge of the relevant standards and who are familiar with the field of
power transmission (VDE 0100, VDE 0160 (EN 50178), VDE 0113 (EN 60204)
as well as the appropriate regulations for your area).

Standards
Harmonic filters must be designed that they fulfill their function when the installation
is correct and with specified application in error-free operation and cause no
danger for persons. This applies also to the co-operation with the entire system.
Use as directed
The harmonic filter must not be started until it is determined that the installation
complies with 89/392/EEC (machine directive) as well as the EMC-directive
(89/336/EEC)(note EN60204).
Changes of the harmonic filter are not allowed. The guarantee expires if the
product is changed or disassembled or operated in contradiction to our
instructions.
Operation of the harmonic filter is exclusively permissible at VDE-conform
networks of public electrical power companies! Not observance can lead to
reduction of the filter effect and to destruction of the filter module.
In accordance with the corresponding standards and guidelines operation is not
allowed also at short-time overcompensated networks and/or reactive-power
compensation equipment without chokes. For this the occuring overvoltages
can damage all connected consumers through oscillation procedures.

Electrical Connection
Before any installation and connection work, the system must be switched off
and secured.

Instructions for EMC conform installation
The connection line between frequency inverter and filter module must be as
short as possible and close to reference potential.
Personal protection
Dangerous voltage can be available at the mains connections after switching off
the network.

The KEB harmonic filter is a new innovative solution, which can be already
assigned in the planning phase into the electrical system. The harmonic filter
enables the compliance of growing international standards to reduced harmonic
components.
The following belong to this standards:
- IEEE 519-1992 (USA)
- G5/4 Engineering Recommendation (GB)
- EN 610003-4 and EN 610003-12 (European Standard)
- EN 12015 (European lift norm)
- AS 2279 (Australian)
- COP, supply rules (Hongkong)
- Quality of Electric Energy Supply, Harmonics in Public Supply Networks
(China)
The following advantages are given by means of the special structure of the
harmonic filter:
- optimal filter effect
- compact structure, small space requirements for installation
- installation solution ready-to-connect
- clear reduction of the capacitive current during no-load operation
- no tendency to oscillation during load change
- significant smaller voltage drop compared to mains choke
- Increase of the inverter lifetime by means of the trapezoidal output voltage
and the square-wave current connected with it
- Reduction of THDI to
- optional THDI
- optional THDI
- large power range because parallel connection of filter modules is possible
- very high efficiency
The reduction of the THDI to the indicated value of
public supply system with a max.preloading of THDU = 2% and a ratio of shortcircuit power to connected power RSG = 66 min.
- Reduction of effective input current (supply via generators)
- Protection of frequency inverter in case of bad mains (voltage overshoots)
- Protection of “non-rigid supply systems”
- Increasing DC link lifetime (several KEB COMBIVERT can be operated at
one filter.)
Optional:
- Thermal contact
- Option HF filter
- 3ph/ 230 VAC/ 500 VAC/ 690 VAC
- Housing type, mechanical structure IP23
Reactive-power compensation equipment without choke and resonance danger
Reactive-power compensation equipment are used in the power supply of
companies. Disturbances or damages at these units can have effects to the
power supply of the company and they can cause losses of production.
In practice many reactive-power compensation equipments without choke are
still used. Various problems can occur in this connection:
- direct resonance
- resonance danger
- switching transient
- interference of ripple control transmission
For the case that resonances occur it is not essential whether a company causes
itself disturbance of main supply network. The compensation power at the
transformer is decisive for the risk that resonances occur. The higher the power
the higher the resonance risk. An important factor for this is the harmonic
preloading in the ms level. The harmonic preloading is transferred by the
transformer and affects the ns level.

3.2Installation Instructions
The KEB harmonic filter is to be used only as built-in unit. During installation pay
attention to the following:
- The distance to adjacent modules may not fall below 150 mm.
- A distance of 150 mm must be observed above and below the filter.
- Sufficient countermeasures must be taken against impurities of any kind.
- The permissible ambient temperatures may not be exceeded.

The installation of the filter can be made in standing or lying position. The
arrangement of the capacitors is below or beside the choke. In order to avoid
damage or destruction of the capacitors by overheat of the choke the capacitors
may not be arranged above the choke!

Without smoothing reactor high current peaks occur by no-limit loading of the DC link capacitors. Thus the increased disturbances of the
DC link voltage continue to the motor by manner of torque fluctuations.

Voltage and current with mains choke uk = 4%
With inductance (mains choke) the amplitudes of the currents are reduced due to the smoothing. The DC link voltage is smoother and thus
the lifetime of the capacitors is extended.

With the harmonic filter and the line-side sinusoidal current the amplitudes of the currents are reduced again compared to the choke. The
output variables are nearly rectangular and they cause so a very smooth voltage in the DC link and an increased lifetime of the capacitors.
