On generator applications this allows the voltage regulator and the load to stabilize before the capaci tors are brought int o the circuit elim inating spiking and potent ial leading power factor condition.
2. This will potentially prevent a leading power f ac tor c on dit ion on the B us , es pecially when many VFDs with filters are on the sam e Bus. For ex ample, if the VFD at speed refer ence is programmed f or 45 hertz, the contactor is open at speeds less than 45Hz. The capacitors will be off-line when the frequency drops below this reference. The capacitors will be closed above the 45Hz programmed contact closure for normal harmonic mitigation.
On variable torque fan and pump loads the current drops dramatically below a 60 hertz operation and as a result there will be too many vars of capacitance in the system for the load applied. The result will lead to a high voltage condition at the input terminals of the VFD, potentially causing an “overvoltage” trip.

Contactor Option (STC)

STC Option Models

This model is identified by the suffix “STC” in the part number. The STC version provides a contactor, control power transformer and connection terminals in the filter trap circuit which allows the VFD user to control the insertion of the HG7 filter’s trap circuit through the use of a relay contact in the drive. It is recommended that the drive contact be programmed to open the contactor below 33% motor power. For variable torque (fan) loads this will be approximately below 70% speed, so the at-speed contact may be used. This reduces the possibility of leading power factor interacting with other devices on the power system and enables the user to perform trap circuit maintenance wi thout shutting down the entire drive system.

Control Wiring

Control Power

An internal control power transformer is provided to supply 120 VAC single-phase power for the contactor, Protection Monitor, and cooling fan(s). Fuses are provided on both the primary and secondary sides of the control transformer.

Filter Enable Input

An auxiliary N.O. run contact from the drive should be connected to the Filter Enable input to enable the HG7 “XM” Option only when the drive is r unning.

Fault Alarm Relay

A Fault Alarm relay is included in the HG2 Protection Monitor which is furnished as standard in “XM” Option units rated over 20 kVar. The Fault Alarm relay is energized when control power is applied to the HG7 and the HG7 is operating properly. A set of form C contacts is provided for customer use.
Determine how the Fault Alarm contact will be used. It may be connected to the drive external fault input or to some supervisory control or alarm annunciation equipment. A HG7 fault alarm i ndicates that the HG7 filter has been disabled by the HG2 Protection Monitor. If the drive operates while the HG7 is disabled, increased harmonic distortion of the power source may have adverse effects on the power distribution system components and other equipment. To guard against the effects of increased harmonic distortion, consider connecting the HG7 to automatically shut down the drive if a fault occurs. T he best alternat ive to shuttin g down the dr ive is to provide an alarm to personnel who will promptly investigate the problem.

The HG2TM Protection Monitor

Introduction

Product Description
The HG2TM Protection Monito r is included as standard in HG7 “XM” Option models rated over 20 kVar. The HG2 monitors the HG7 operation, electronically protects the power circuits, displays performance information, and provides a control interface with the drive and/or supervisory control system. A three-character display is provided with UP, DOWN, and SELECT keys and two status- indicating LEDs.
The HG2 includes analog inputs for monitoring the line voltage and current and the current in the harmonic filter. Current transformers are included in HG7, “XM” Option harmonic filter units to provide the line current inp uts. Sense wind ings from in the t uning reactor p rovide the sour ce for the current measurements. Voltage is measured through direct input to the HG2.
The HG2 Protection Monitor provides a local display for power monitoring at the point where the HG7 filter is connected to the power distrib ution system. The power monitoring displa y selections include line voltage, current, real power (kW), apparent power (kVA), power factor, and harmonic distortion parameters. The harmonic distortion parameters include total harmonic distortion (%THD) of the line voltage and current as well as indivi dual values of low ord er harmonics. Filter curr ent and harmo nic values are also available. Three-phase average parameter values, totals, and individual phase values are available. The HG2 calculates parameter values from the signals available at the analog inputs.
The HG2 inc ludes co ntact clo sure inp uts for F ilter Enable control and for optional Over-temperature and Door Interlock prote ction functions. A serial interlo ck connection is pr ovided for coo rdinating the protection functions of multiple HG2 Protection Monitors.
The HG2 Protection Monitor provides fault protection for the filter by disconnecting the capacitor banks when a fault is detected. Protection functions include filter over and under-current, door interlock, o ver-temperature, and others. Note that the doo r interlock switch a nd the over-temperature thermostatic switch are optional. Fault Codes are generated on the display for ease of troubleshooting.

The normal operation of the HG2 protection monitor is described in detail in the HG2 Protection Monitor section of this manual. Refer also to HG2 Protection Monitor Calibration including figure s 5,
6 and 7.
Protection Monitor Display and Status L ights
During Normal Operation, the green Filter Enabled LED should be on, the red Filter Disabled LED should be off and the display should show the selected Operating Parameter.
If the HG2 display is blank and no LEDs are illuminated, the possible causes include:
If the drive is also inoperable and lacking any "Power On" indications:
Three-phase power has probably been disconnected either manually or by the operation of a protective device. Check the main disconnect and fuses or circuit breaker. If fuses have blown or a breaker has tripped, a short circuit or severe overload condition has probably occurred in the HG7 filter, drive, motor, or power wiring. Check for evidence of damaged, b urned, or overheated wiring or components.
If the drive appears to be receiving power:
Check the primary and secondary control power transformer fuses in the HG7 filter.
If a fuse has blown, there is probably a short circuit, ground fault, or overload condition in the HG7. Check for evidence of damaged, burned, or overheated wiring or components.
Check the following items:
Control circuit wiring Control circuit transformer Cooling fan HG2 Protection Monitor
If the fuses are good, the HG2 may be defective
If drive is operating but the HG2 display shows OFF, the red Filter Disabled LED is on and the green Filter Enabled LED is off:
Check the Filter Enable input to the HG2.
If the Filter Enable input is open, the Drive Aux Run contact may be open or disconnected.
If the Filter Enable input is closed, the HG2 may be defective.

This Fault Code indicates a fault in an HG7unit other than the one displaying the "F01" Fault Code.
In a system that has multiple sections, each monitored with an HG2, any HG2 may detect a fault and in turn disconnect all the harmonic filters linked via the serial connection. The unit detecting the fault will display the appropriate Fault Code while all others in the series will display “F01.” The fault may only be cleared from the harmonic filter section experiencing the fault. Once the fault is cleared the other units will revert to Normal Operation. In single board configurations, there is a jumper wire installed in connector J1­8 & J1-10.

Troubleshooting Procedure
If the F11, F12 or F13 fault occurred upon initial startup (commissioning), use this procedure. If the unit had been operating normally for some time after initial startup (commissioning), refer to the next section.
This fault indicates the filter current is lower than normal. Fault F11 indicates low current through fuse Fu1(a), F12 indicates low curren t through f us e Fu2(a) and F 13 indi cat es low current through fuse Fu3(a).
First check for any shipping damage. Look for loose connections, especially those associated with the HG2 board and fuses Fu1(a), Fu2(a) and Fu3(a). Make sure that Fu1(a), Fu2(a), and Fu3(a) are properly installed. Check for proper balanced line-to-line voltages on L1, L2, and L3.
If there are no obvious errors in the wiring and installation of the filter go to the Setup Procedure page 32. Verify that all the parameters are correct for this installation. At this point leave the parameter 11A set to (0), exit the setup mode, and allow the filter to reenergize.
If the F11 fault still appears, return to the Setup Procedure and set parameter 11A to (1). Upon exiting this time, the filter will re-energize in the Calibration Mode. Caution! When
in the Calibration Mode, the HG2 board will not de-energize the filter under fault conditions. Follow the Calibration Procedure on page 39.
The factory default setting for the Filter Current Low Trip (parameter 7A) is 80% of the filter's nominal fundamental current rating as determined by the filter’s kVar, frequency, and voltage ratings (parameters 3A, 4a & 8A). If the trip level is set below 80%, the HG2 may not trip when a partial loss of capacitance has occurred. If the trip level is set above 80%, the HG2 may trip unnecessarily. It is recommended t hat the setting not be

Troubleshooting Procedure
If the F11, F12, or F13, fault occurred after the unit had been operating normally for some time after initial startup (commissioning), u se thi s proced ure. If the fault occurred upon initial startup (commissioning), refer to the previous section.
If the unit operated nor mal ly after setup and cal ibra tion, the fault usually indicates a fuse cleared or a loss of capacitance occurred, thus lowering the normal current. Fault F11 is associated with fuse Fu1(a), F12 is associated with fuse Fu1(a), and F13 is associated with fuse Fu3(a). Check the fuses and replace any that have cleared with known good fuses of the same type and rating. Check for signs of a short circuit.
Restart the filter and verify that the filter currents are at the proper levels. Caution!
Troubleshooting with the filter energized means there are hazardous voltages present. Only qualified personnel should do this service work.
If the fuses are good, verify the integrity of the contactor. The electrical contacts are consumable wear parts and may need service.
If the contactor is deemed in serviceable condition go to the Setup Procedure on page 32. Step through the parameters and set parameter 11A to (1), exit the setup mode, and allow the filter to reenergize in the Calibration Mode. Caution! When in the Calibration
Mode, the filter will not automatically disconnect upon recognizing a fault condition. Measure currents; i f lower than the perc enta ge of nomi nal am ount set in 7A,
an F11 fault will result. It is usually an indication of loss of capacitance. To locate the faulty capacitor(s), first verify the proper line-to-line voltage is present at the terminals of each capacitor. If the voltage is correct, then measure the current into each individual capacitor. If any of the currents are lower than nameplate by greater than 10%, replace the defective capacitor(s), and verify proper operat io n.
The factory default setting for the Filter Current Low Trip (parameter 7A) is 80% of the filter’s nominal fundament al cu rr ent rat ing the as deter min ed by the filter’s kVar, frequency, and voltage ratings (parameters 3A, 4a & 8A). If the trip level is set below 80%, the HG2 may not trip when a partial loss of capacitance has occurred. If the trip level is set above 80%, the HG2 may trip unnecessarily. It is recommended that the
setting not be changed without consulting the technical support department at the
The usual causes for this fault are:
Oversized drive for the capability of the filter. Excessive harmonics present on the distribution system from other sources. Partial loss of capacitance (thus causing the filter circuit tuning point to shift at or
above the designed frequency). Line voltage is greater than 125% of the nomina l rating. Interaction with power factor capacitors on the distribution system resulting in system
resonance conditions.
If F21-F23 faults occur repeatedly in the apparent absence of any of the above problems, verify the actual filter current with a current probe suited for true RMS meas urements in a harmonic rich circuit. Note: It may be necessary to inhibit the board from de-energizing the filter by operating in the calibrate mode. However, be aware that if excessive currents are indeed present, the technician must be able to rapidly remove power from the filter to minimize damaging components or blow ing the filter fuses.
The factory default setting for the Filter Over-current Fast Trip (parameter 5A) is 180% of the filter’s nominal fundamental current rating as determined by the HG7’s kVar, frequency, and voltage ratings (parameters 3A, 4a & 8A). If the trip level is set above 180%, the life of the capacitors may be reduced or the fuses may blow. If the trip level is set below 180%, the filter may trip unnecessarily. It is recommended that the setting

FAULT
Code
Troubleshooting Procedure
The usual causes for a F31 displayed fault are:
Short-term operation above rated line current during acceleration of the load or other normal utilization of the drive's short-term overload capacity.
Operation above rated line current due to abnormal drive overload condition. Excessive harmonics present on the distribution system from other sources. Partial loss of capacitance (thus causing the filter circuit tuning point to shift to or
above the designed frequency). Line voltages greater than 125% of the nominal rating. Interaction with power factor capacitors on the distribution system resulting in system
resonance conditions; however, not to the level that would cause a fast trip as indicated by the display of F2x fault.
If the problem is caused by short-term (<60 seconds) operation above rated line current due to normal utilization of the drive's short-term overload capacity, increasing the time to fault setup parameter (1A) may alleviate the problem.
If F31-F33 faults occur repeatedly in the apparent absence of any of the above problems, verify the actual filter current with a current probe suited for true RMS meas urements in a harmonic rich circuit. Note: It may be necessary to inhibit the board from de-energizing the HG7 by operating in the calibrate mode. However, be aware that if excessive currents are indeed present, the technician must be able to rapidly remove power from the filter to minimize damaging components or opera tin g the filter fuses.
If the actual measured currents are within the acceptable levels for the rating of the filter, but there are short periods (<60 seconds) that exceed the trip threshold, increasing the time to fault setup parameter (1A) may alleviate the problem.
The factory default setting for the Filter Over-current Delayed Trip (parameter 6A) is 160% of the filter’s nominal fundamental current rating as determined by the filter’s kVar, frequency, and voltage ratings (parameters 3A, 4a & 8A). It may be acceptable to increase the slow trip parameter setup 6A. However, it is recommended that you consult

Troubleshooting Units Equipped with Pilot L ights

Units rated 20 kVar and less, or over 120 kVar, have Blown Fuse and Filter Enable d pilot light s to indicate their operating status and are not equipped with the HG2 Protection Monitor as standard. Troubleshooting information for units equipped with the HG2 Protection Monitor is provided in the previous sec tion under the heading Troubleshooting Units Equipped with the HG2 Protection Monitor.

The Filter Enabled pilot light indicates that the Filter Enable input is clo sed.
Blown Fuse Indicating Pilot Lights
If a Blown Fuse Indicating pilot light is illuminated, the corresponding fuse, Fu1(a), Fu2(a), or Fu3(a) has blown. These fuses protect the three-phase HG7 filter power circuitry. Check for damaged components or wiring in the filter power circuit. Check for discolored or burned components and deformed or leaking capacitors. Damaged components can be caused by overheating. Check to see that the ambient temperature is not excessive and make sure that the unit is receiving an adequate flow of cooling air. Check the fan i f the unit has one.

Introduction
The HG2 has calibration adjustments, which can be used to calibrate the unit's filter current, line voltage, and line current Operating Parameter displays. The HG2 should not be re-calibrated unless re-calibration is indicated by the troubleshooting procedure or the installation of replacement parts makes re -calibration necessary. The Calibration Mode is the same as t he nor mal run ning mod e exc ept that the HG2 does not trip in response to fault conditions.
HG2 Protection Monitor Calibration Procedure
Warning
Only qualified electricians should carry out all electrical installation and maintenance work on the HG7 Harmonic filter.
Personnel performing the calibration procedure must be capable of safely working on pow e red equipment. To calibrate the HG2, it is
necessary to operate the drive and HG7 filter while measuring actual operating currents and voltages in sid e the unit.
When in calibrate mode, the filter will not automatically disconnect upon recognizing a fault condition. If a fault occurs during calibration, the technician must be able to rapidly remove power from the filter to minimize damaging components or blowing the filter fuses.

Required Equipment

AC voltmeter and ammeter or multi-meter designed for true RMS measurements in a
harmonic rich circuit and suitable for the rated current and voltage marked on the nameplate of the HG7 filter.
Clamp-on current probe suitable for the rated current and voltage marked on the
nameplate of the HG7 filter.
Clip-on voltage probes suitable for the rated voltage marked on the nameplate of the HG7
filter. Select probes that can be secure ly clipped on to the test points without shorting be tween points or falling off.

Measuring Voltages and Currents

To locate the line current, filter current, and line voltage measurement points, refer to the schematic diagram and outline and mounting dimension drawing for the specific unit that will be calibrated. Some typical drawings are included at the end of this manual.
Warning
The safest procedure is to attach and remove the voltage and current probes
harmonic filter are equipped with bleeder resistors to automatically discharge them to 50 volts or less within 1 minute afte r power is disconnected, but the equipment should be considered to be "live" for at least 5 minutes.

Calibration Potentiometer Locations

The calibration potentiometers are located behind the right edge of the HG2 board as viewed from the keypad side of the HG2. Refer to Figure 5 – HG2 Keypad View. When vie win g the co mpo nent sid e o f the HG2 board, the calibration potentiometers are on the left edge of the board. Refer to Figure 6 – HG2 Board Component View.

Warning
Line voltage is connected to terminals J2, J3, and J4 at the top edge of the HG2 board.
The board circuitry is also connected to 120 volts.

Calibration Procedure

Perform the Setup Procedure on pa ge 32 and verify that all settings are correct for the application. Set parameter 11A to 1, Calibration Mode. When you exit the Setup Mode, the HG2 will be in the Calibration Mode. The unit may then be ca librated using the following procedure.
1. P ress the UP key to select parameter “C”, Filter Current.
2. The Filter Current calibrations can be performed without the drive operating to avoid the
difficulty of making adjustments with rapidly changing currents.
3. P ress the SELECT key to select “L 1.” With an ammeter current probe on filter line, L1, adjust
potentiometer R43 to match the ammeter reading.
4. Press the SELECT key to sel ect "L 2.” With an ammeter current probe on filter line, L2, adjust
potentiometer R44 to match the ammeter reading.
5. Press the SELECT key to sel ect "L 3.” With an ammeter current probe on filter line, L3, adjust
potentiometer R45 to match the ammeter reading.
6. P ress the UP key to select parameter “U,” Line Voltage.
7. Press the SELECT key to sel ect "L 1.” With a voltmeter connected between L1 and neutral, adjust
potentiometer R68 to match the voltmeter reading. If the neutral is not accessible, then connect between L1 and L2 and calculate the line to neutral voltage.
8. Press the SELECT key to sel ect "L 3.” With a voltmeter connected between L3 and neutral, adjust
potentiometer R94 to match the voltmeter reading. If the neutral is not accessible, then connect between L1 and L3 and calculate the line to neutral voltage.
9. Press the SELECT key to sel ect "L 1.” Recheck the "L 1” setting and readjust if necessary.
Recheck the "L 3” setting, readjust if necessary since there is some interaction between R68 and R94. There is no adjustment for "L 2”.
10. P ress the UP key to select parameter “A,” Line Cu rrent.
11. T he drive should be running while performing the Line Current calibrations. For optimum
accuracy, the actual current as measured with an ammeter, shoul d be more than half the unit's rated current. Due to the low resolution of the A/D converters, the display readings are not intended to be used for certification purposes.
12. Press the SELECT key to sel ect "L 1.” With an ammeter current probe on source line, L1, adjust
potentiometer R52 to match the ammeter reading.
13. Press the SELECT key to sel ect "L 2.” With an ammeter current probe on source line, L2, adjust
potentiometer R53 to match the ammeter reading.
14. Press the SELECT key to select "L 3.” W ith an ammeter current probe on source line, L3, adjust
potentiometer R54 to match the ammeter reading.
15. Remove power to the unit to exit the Calibration Mode.
16. Restart the filter in the normal operating mode, and verify proper operation.

KLR/KDR Lin e React or Ins tallat ion Inst ruction

Recommendations and Considerations: When installing the KLR/KDR Line Reactors on the INPUT side of the VFD, please use the following
guideline s when wiring the unit: The KLR/KDR Line Reactor is a 3-phase device and should be wired in series and positioned on the input
side of the VFD. All Terminal Block connectors will be marked. A1, B1, and C1 are the input terminals where the 3 phases of
incoming power are to be wired. As a result, A2, B2, and C2 are the output terminals. Units with copper bus or ring lug terminals are not marked. In these cases, either the upper terminals or the lower ter minals can be used as the input terminals, as long as the selection is consistent. For example, if an upper terminal is selected as the input, all up per terminals must be input ter minals. Wiring from the outp ut terminals should connect to the input of the VFD.
KIT PACKAGE OPTION (KP)
Refer to NEC wiring practices for appropriate wire sizes for your application. TCI recommends that these reactors be wired and located as close to the front end of the VFD as possible to
have the greatest success in both protecting the VFD as well as mitigating line harmonics. We reco mmend this be 10 feet of cable or less.
In standard 40°C ambient or less installations, a clearance of 3 inches on all sides of the reactors and its enclosure is recommended for assisting in heat dissipation. This is a general guideline for typical applications. If the reactor is being installed next to a heat sensitive instrument or control device, we recommend reviewing specific requirements or heat limitations. Line reactor heat loss information is available in the standard TCI product literature o r on the web at www.transcoil.com.
These reactors are designed to be floor-mounted, or wall-mounted. Large open-style devices should be panel mounted b y incor porati ng a bra cket that would a ct as a shelf to sup port the reactor and/or enclosure. When installing an open style device in an existing contro l cabinet, drive cabinet, motor control center, or other large enclosure, the reactor should be mounted in the lower half of the cabinet to prevent hot spots or pockets of heat. Locating the reactor in the lower half of the cabinet typically allows better thermal dissipation and heat convection. Reactors with ducts should be mounted vertically for proper cooling.

In these cases, either the upper terminals or the lower ter minals can be used as the input terminals, as long as the selection is consistent. For example, if an upper terminal is selected as the input, all up per terminals must be input ter minals. Wiring from t he output te rminals sho uld connect to the input of the VFD.

Refer to NEC wiring practices for appropriate wire sizes for your application. TCI recommends that these reactors be wired and located as close to the front end of the VFD as possible to
have the greatest success in both protecting the VFD as well as mitigating line harmonics. We reco mmend this be 10 feet of cable or less.
In standard 40°C ambient or less installations, a clearance of 3 inches on all sides of the reactors and its enclosure is recommended for assisting in heat dissipation. This is a general guideline for typical applications. If the reactor is being installed next to a heat sensitive instrument or control device, we recommend reviewing specific requirements or heat limitations. Line reactor heat loss information is available in the standard TCI product literature or on the web at www.transcoil.com.
These reactors are designed to be floor-mounted, or wall-mounted. Large open-style devices should be panel mounted b y incor porati ng a bracket that would act as a shelf to support the reactor and/or enclosure. When installing an open style device in an existing contro l cabinet, drive cabinet, motor control center, or other large enclosure, the reactor should be mounted in the lower half of the cabinet to prevent hot spots or pockets of heat. Locating the reactor in the lower half of the cabinet typically allows better thermal dissipation and heat convectio n. Reactors with ducts should be mounted vertically for proper cooling.

Field Wiring In format ion

Below is the typical wiring diagram for the 3-phase reactor applied to the front end of the Variable Frequency D rive (VFD). Si ngle-phase applications are acceptable, however, it is important to size the unit based on the single pha se Full Load Amperage of the VFD. The input and output connections should be on terminals A and C to ensure proper performance.
