General Safety Instructions
High Voltage! Only a qualified electrician can carry out the electrical
installation of this filter.
WARNING
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 or death may result if safety precautions are not
observed.
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
An upstream disconnect/protection device must be used as required by
the National Electrical Code (NEC) or governing authority.
Even if the upstream disconnect/protection device is open, the drive
down stream of the filter may feedback high voltage to the filter. The drive
safety instructions must be followed. Injury or death may result if
safety precautions are not observed.
The filter must be grounded with a grounding conductor connected to all
grounding terminals. Open panel filters must have reactor grounded
through a 2”x2” area cleaned of paint and varnish on lower mounting
bracket.
Only spare parts obtained from MTE Corporation or an authorized MTE
distributor can be used.
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 and
ensure that the volt age i s at a safe level.
Loose or improperly secured connections may damage or degrade filter
performance. Visually inspect and secure all electrical connections before
power is applied to the filter.
The user of this filter must assure that the input voltage and frequency is
correct for the filter rating and that the voltage applied falls within the
rated operating tolerance envelop specified for the filter. For sever power
Caution
line applications where the power feed is likely to experience surges and
transients that exceed the input voltage rating, it is recommended that a
TVSS (Transient Voltage Surge Suppression) or SPD (Surge Protection
Device) be deployed ahead of the filter to reduce the possibility of
exceeding the filter rated voltage. Consult with TVSS or SPD
manufacturer to determine the correct protection requirements for your
power line conditions.

2. INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this manual is to aid in the proper installation of the Matrix AP.
For most current product information, including technical reference manual, please refer to
website:
www.mtecorp.com/products/matrix-ap-harmonic-filters/
This manual is intended for use by personnel experienced in the operation and maintenance of
drives. Because of the high voltages required by the filter, 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 drive to which it is connected.
Receipt & Repair Statement
Upon Receipt of this Filter:
The Matrix AP Harmonic 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.
In the event of damage, please contact and file a claim with the freight carrier involved
immediately.
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 or
dirt has accumulated on the internal components of the filter before applying power.
Repair/Exchange Procedure
MTE Corporation requires a Return Material Authorization Number and form before we can
accept any filters that qualify for return or repair. If problems or questions arise during
installation, setup, or operation of the filter, please contact MTE for assistance at:

3. HOW TO INSTALL
Installation Checklist
Prior to installation, please re fer to all general wa rnings on page 5. Fail ure to practice
this can result in body i njur y!
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.

Over Temperature Interlock
An over temperature interlock circuit should be used in conjunction with thermal switch to turn
off the drive to prevent filter damage due to abnormal operating conditions. The temperature
switch is normally closed and will open when an internal reactor temperature of 180°C is
reached. See Table 3-1 below for contact rating information and the drive user manual for
interconnection information.
Table 3-1: Over Temperature Switch
opens at 180 Deg. +/- 5 Deg. C
MTE highly recommends the use of the over temperature switch to prevent damage to the filter
in rare instances of overheating from abnormal operating conditions.
