WARNING
WARNING
Input and output wir ing t o the filter should be performed by authori zed personnel i n accordance with NEC a nd all l ocal elec tr ical c odes a nd re gulati ons.
The filter is desi gned f or us e wit h c opper c onductors wi t h a mi nimum te mpe rature rating of 75 degrees C.
Do not install capacitor assembly above/near the Harmonic Mitigating Reactor. Premature or catastrophic failure may occur.
Matrix AP Filters are supplied in the following mechanical configurations:
Open Panel Mount
Floor mounted general purpose NEMA 1/2, & NEMA 3R cabinets
Select a well-ventilated area suitable for the NEMA enclosure type number. Do not install in or near a corrosive environment. Avoid locations where the filter would be subjected to excessive vibrations.
Open panel filters are designed for mounting within the customer’s enclosure. Open panel units consist of a Harmonic Mitigating Reactor (HMR) and one or more capacitor panel modules refer red to as cap-panels on drawings and diagrams.
The capacitor panel must be located in the lowest temperature regions of the enclosure – generally toward the bottom and away from high temperature components.
Include the power dissipation of the filter along with all the other components located in the enclosure to determine the internal temperature rise and cooling requirements of the enclosure.
Refer to Article 430 Table 430.91 of the National Electrical code for the selection of the appropriate enclosure Type Number for your application.

Grounding

The filter must always be grounded with a grounding conductor connected to ground terminals.
For open panel units, ensure a 2” x 2” area is cleaned of paint and
WARNING
For cable shield grounding follow the drive manufactures recommendations.
Grounding and Ground Fault Protection
The filter must always be grounded with a grounding conductor connected to all ground terminals.
Due to high leakage currents associated with variable frequency drives, ground fault protective devices do not necessarily operate correctly when placed ahead of a Matrix Filter feeding a drive. When using this type of device, its function should be tested in the actual installation.
varnish on lower mounting bracket for ground connection.
On NEMA 3R enclosures, CAB-26AP and larger, no live parts shall be mounted below 8 inches from the bottom of the enclosure
Location & Spacing
Open panel filters are designed for mounting 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. A general guideline is to allow a side clearance of four (4) inches and a vertical clearance of six (6) inches for proper heat dissipation and access within the enclosure. Clearances may be less if proper ventilation exists. Filter components must operate within temperatures specified in this manual or filter operating life will be compromised. Also, be aware of minimum electrical clearances as defined by the appropriate system safety standard(s). Open panel Matrix AP Filters generate heat and should be positioned away from heat sensitive components. Ensure that proper panel orientation is maintained. Keep the capacitors away from reactor heat flow. Avoid locations where the filter would be subjected to excessive vibrations. Locate the filter as close to the drive as possible.
General purpose NEMA 1/2, and NEMA 3R enclosed filters are designed for floor mounting 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. For lower ambient temperatures and increased air flow clearance distances can be reduced.

Power Wiring Connection

Input and output power wiring to the filter should be performed by authorized personnel in accordance with the NEC and all local electrical codes and regulations. Cable lugs and mounting hardware are provided by the customer.
WARNING
Verify that the power source to which the filter is to be connected is in agreement with the nameplate data on the filter. A fused disconnect switch or circuit breaker should be installed between the filter and its source of power in accordance with the requirements of the NEC and all local electrical codes and regulations. Refer to the drive user manual for selection of the correct fuse rating and class.
For panel mounted filter applications, interconnection between the filter, its power source, the cap-panels, and the drive is shown in Figure 3-2 (p12).
Wire gauge range and terminal torque requirements as well as selecting conductors that interconnect the HMR and capacitor assemblies are shown in Table 3-3 (p19) for 240V, Table 3-4 (p20) for 380V - 600V, and Table 3-5 (p22) for 690V.
Refer to the drive user manual for instructions on interconnecting the drive and motor and the correct start-up procedures for the drive.
The filter is designed for use with copper conductors with a minimum temperature rating of 75 degrees C.
For filters supplied in general purpose NEMA 1/2 & NEMA 3R cabinets, interconnection between the filter, its power source, and the drive is shown in Figure 3-3 (p13).
Wiring Checks
Using Figure 3-1 (p11), visually check the wired components to confirm, verify, and correct wiring. Then, with a multi meter check phase to phase isolation using the 100 K ohm range. The multi meter will read the parallel equivalent of the bleeder resistors after the capacitors initially charge. All phase to phase resistance values should be the same.
Check for the Following Faults:
Capacitor shorted
Capacitor bus not connected
Capacitor bus to chassis short
Paralleling wiring errors
Any extremely low or high resistance readings indicate miswiring and may result in damage to filter components if not corrected.
On NEMA 3R enclosures, CAB-26AP and larger, no live parts shall be mounted below 8 inches from the bottom of the enclosure.

Generator sizing note: Generator sizing is best completed by sizing programs or help from a generator manufacturing representative. Identify every load type and size that will be powered from the generator. If non-linear loads are present the generator may need to be oversized. Generator rated KVA minimum load >= Matrix rated current x √ 3 generator voltage
FLA load current <= Matrix filter rated current
Notes (SCCR):
The Short Circuit Current Rating (SCCR) is not required under Exception No.1 of
UL508A SB4.2.1 effective 4/25/06. This exception also applies to all the Contactor Options (002, 009, 012, and similar), where the Contactors are separated from the Main Power path by exempt components (such as Reactors) of sufficient Impedance, which is assured in case of the Reactors that are integral components of our Filter.

Matrix AP Harmonic Filter Field Checks

1. Read and understand the Matrix AP Technical Reference Manual which can be downloaded at www.mtecorp.com/matrix-ap-documentation/ drawings for your particular filter and identify the terminal locations.
2. Disconnect all power and remove input power wiring from U1, V1, W1 terminals.
3. Remove VFD drive power connections from filter terminals U2, V2, W2 and any contactor or temperature switch wiring. (For filters using control transformers: remove power fuses on top of transformer.)
4. Visually inspect filter terminals and wiring lugs for signs of heat and corrosion. Contact
factory if any wires appear to be missing or cut!
5. Inspect the U4, V4, W4 capacitor interconnect terminals and wiring.
6. Visually inspect all capacitors for signs of case deformation, bowing of the top, leaking oil or terminal damage. Note the CAP- # and date code of any damaged capacitors.
7. Using a multi meter set to read 100K ohms check:
a. Phase to phase U1-V1-W1-U1 (mechanically activate contactor if present) after
reactor and caps charge reading should be about 40K (total equivalent breeder resistance value) and should be the same for each phase. Open circuit or very low readings indicate a problem.
b. Phase to chassis U1- case, V1-case, W1- case; low readings indicate a ground
fault problem.
8. Ensure the “disconnect” is safe then wire the utility power to U1, V1, W1.
9. Apply power and verify that proper output voltage is present on U2, V2, and W2.
10. Using a clamp on amp meter read the filter input current:
a. Readings will be 0.5 of the capacitor current listed in the Matrix AP Technical
Reference Manual found at www.mtecorp.com/matrix-ap-documentation/ (mechanically activate the contactor if the filter is equipped with one). Readings should be the same (+/- 5%) for all phase currents; contact the factory if currents are out of tolerance!
b. Open contactor readings will show zero current for all phases.
11. Disconnect filter power and wire the VFD to U2, V2, and W2 as well as any control wiring to the filter contactor or temperature switch. Replace any control transformer fuses. Follow the drive power startup guidelines in the drive manufacturer’s user manual.
