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 OR DEATH 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. 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 next lower 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 inverter up stream of the filter may feed high voltage to the filter. The drive safety instructions must be followed.

DEATH MAY RESULT IF THE DRIVE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ARE NOT OBSERVED.

WARNING

The filter must be grounded with a grounding conductor connected to all grounding terminals.

WARNING

Only spare parts obtained from MTE Corporation or an authorized MTE distributor can be used.

Sine Wave 2-8 kHz Series A Filter

6. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Sine Wave filters are supplied in the following mechanical configurations:

Panel mounted assemblies

Floor mounted general purpose NEMA 1 & 3R cabinets

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. An option NC temperature switch may be added to protect against filter over heating. Allow a minimum side clearance of four (4) inches and a vertical clearance of six (6) inches for proper heat dissipation and access within the enclosure. Panel mounted Sine Wave 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 and resistor heat flow. Avoid locations where the filter would be subjected to excessive vibrations.

Figures 3

drawings for the various current ratings and show proper panel mounting orientation. For filters above 80 amps refer to table 4 and

– 5 contain open panel outline

Figure A & B for the dimensions of the separately mounted reactor and the RC panel.

The RC panel should be located away from the reactor and in the lowest temperature regions of the enclosure – generally toward the bottom.

General purpose NEMA 1, 2 and 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 (32 inches for proper heat dissipation and access. Page 20 will direct you to the appropriate outline drawings shown in fig. 8 through fig 14

Locate the filter as close to the inverter as possible. Do not exceed a maximum distance of 50 feet.

Sine Wave Filters rated 80 amps through 720 amps are made up of a reactor and a RC panel. These components are designed to be mounted vertically within an appropriate enclosure. The reactor generates heat and should be mounted away from components affected by heat. Align the reactor to allow cooling air to flow through it. A filter showing correct reactor alignment and placement is shown in figure 6. The RC panel should be located in the lowest temperature regions of the enclosure – generally toward the bottom. An example of an MCC application is shown in Figure 7

WARNING

Input and output wiring to the filter should be performed by authorized personnel in accordance with NEC and all local electrical codes and regulations.

Verify that the rating of the filter is compatible with the inverter to which it is to be connected. Follow all detailed inverter manufacturer installation and safety instructions. Inverter and load Cable selection / placement should be in accordance with the requirements of the NEC and all local electrical codes and regulations

The typical interconnection diagrams that follow are shown for a motor load but the load can be either a motor or a transformer. For enclosed filters supplied in general purpose NEMA1 and 3R cabinets and open panel filters rated less than 80 amperes, interconnection between the filter, motor and the inverter is shown in Fig. 15 manual for instructions on interconnecting the inverter and motor and the correct start-up procedures for the inverter. The sine wave filter is primarily designed to operate from a drive using the volts per Hertz mode. For drive auto-tune or feedback using the motor consult the drive manufacture for setting the drive with output filters.

For power supply / frequency converter applications using a PWM inverter, the output of the Sine wave must feed a Delta- Wye isolation transformer to accommodate the effects of load imbalances and to cancel tripplen harmonics. See

Fig. 17

The filter is designed for use with copper conductors with a minimum temperature rating of 75 degrees C. Table 7 and terminal torque requirements for the power input and output connections.

Sine Wave 2-8 kHz Series A Filter

8. FILTER DESCRIPTION

The MTE Series A Sine Wave Filter is a low pass filter containing proprietary technology, which makes it particularly useful for filtering the output of PWM inverters. The filter consists of a reactor and a resistor capacitor network. Figure 18 shows a block diagram of the filter. The PWM output from the inverter is connected to the input terminals of the reactor. The load, which can be either a motor or a transformer, is connected to the output terminals of the reactor.

MTE Series A sine-wave filters are designed to provide a sine wave output voltage when driven from PWM inverters with switching frequencies from 2 kHz to 8 kHz. For drive applications, these filters eliminate the problem of motor insulation failures and they also reduce electromagnetic interference by eliminating the high dv/dt associated with inverter output wave forms. For alternate energy applications where an inverter is used to return power to the utility distribution system through a step up transformer these filters meet the requirements of IEEE 519.

Sine wave filters are available in open panel, NEMA 1, 2, and 3R mechanical configurations. For both variable torque and constant torque applications, select filters based on the horsepower rating of the motor. Filter current ratings have been designed to meet the requirements of NEC motor current ratings. For applications that use motors with current ratings that exceed NEC values selected a filter with a current rating equal to or greater than that of the load.

For inverters feeding isolation transformers select a filter with a current rating equal to or greater than that of the transformer primary current.

Typical applications for Series A sinewave filters are submersible pumps, low voltage drives feeding medium voltage motors, HVAC equipment, wind turbines and applications where the distance between the motor and inverter is up to 15,000 feet.

Note: Series A sine-wave filters can only be used with PWM inverters with switching frequencies set between 2 and 8 kHz.

For voltages other than 440-480, 550-600 VAC, contact the factory.

Filters for motors that will be operated above 60 Hz should be selected based on the frequency de-rating curve (Chart 2

.

) shown on page 7.
