Product Descript ion

HarmonicGuard Active filter
The HarmonicGuard Active filter is an active harmonic filter designed and developed by TCI to relieve the power distribution system o f the issues associated with harmonic currents that flow within the power distribution network caused by non-linear loads. The typical configuration can be found in Figure 3.1.
The topology of the bus-applied (three phase, three wire) HGA consists of major components or modules:
Component 1 is mad e up of two current transformers (CTs) installed on phases A and C of the AC bus that is to be acted upon by the filter. The purpose of the CTs are to supply information to the HGA regarding t he integrity of the composite AC bus c urrent with rega rd to the distor tion (non-sinusoidal waveform) and displacement power factor relative to the AC bus voltage. These signals will result in the HGA inje cting currents th at will return the AC line current to near sinusoidal s hape and at unit y power factor. Note that the CTs are located outside the HGA enclosure.
Component 2 is the HGA input circuit breaker (optional) . This is provided to protect the HGA for destructi ve ove r cur rent c ond itio ns if a malfu nctio n oc curs withi n the HGA circ uitry. It also p rovides a convenient disconnect means and field wiring point for the installer of the filter equipment.
Components 3 and 4 are the high freq uency co nverter i nductors . These i nductors provid e the prop er inductance to the power converter.
Component 5 is the power electronic converter module. The Power converter module (PCM) is the heart of the HarmonicGuard Active filter and is what differentiates the HGA from other types of harmonic mitigation. The PCM provides several highly complex electronic functions controlled by the on board DSP controller. The PCM continuously senses the AC bus line voltage and currents, processes the information at “nearly real time” by means of the instructions resident within the DSP program code, properly controls the six IGBT’s to operate in a safe manner that injects current into the AC bus grid that ensures the AC bus current is sinusoidal and near unity power factor. Power converter contains a pre-charge circuit which consists of two SCRS and two pre-charging resistances which control the inrush current.

Current Transformer Installation

For accurate sensing of the load it is important that the load sensing current transformers are properly installed.
Warning
Only qualified electricians should carry out all electrical installation and maintenance work on the HGA. Failure to follow standard safety procedures may result in death or serious inj ury.
Disconnect all sources of power to the drive and HGA before working on the equipment. Do not attempt any work on a powered HGA. Also, check for zero voltage between all phases of the input and output lines.
Operating current transformers with the secondary winding open can r esult in a high volta ge across the secondary terminals which may be dangerous to personnel or equipment.
It is necessary for the HGA to moni tor the cur rent in P ha se “ A” ( L1) a nd P hase “C” ( L3). Stand-alone HGA filters are designed for Line Side current transformer (CT) placement as shown in Figure 4.4a. It is important that both CTs are on the same side of the HGA. The CTs sho uld be cente red around the conductor. Optional Load Side CT placement is available for sin gle units as shown in Figure 4.4a.
The polarity of the CT is important; the “H1” marking on the CT must face the source. The secondary windings o f the CT around conductor L1 should connect to TB-1 terminals 1 & 2 and the CT around conductor L3 should connect to TB-1 terminals 3 & 4. The secondary wire of the CT identified as “X1” must connect to the “X1” terminal of TB-1 for both CTs. Failure to maintain the correct polarity and phasing wi l l cause an over-current fa ult . If this shoul d happen refer to the troubleshoo ting section.
The exact CT placement is dependent on the HGA’s configuration and size. Please refer to Figures
4.4a through 4.4i for the installation that applies. Note: Units with black “TB-1” terminal blocks are shipped with two position shorting jumpers
installed between positions 1 & 2 and 3 & 4. This is done for your safety and to prevent equipment damage. The jumpers are installed in the center of the block and can be identi fied by the gray to p. After the load CTs are installed and wired, these jumpers must be removed for correct unit operation. They can be removed with a standard flat blade screw driver (See Figure 5.3).
Note: CT operation can be verified via the HMI touchscreen feedback waveform plot screens. Reference the HMI VLine & ILine Waveform Plot Sub Screen in Section 6 for details.

Maintenance and Service

HGA Reliability and Service L ife

The HGA has been designed and thoroughly tested at the facto ry to ensure tha t it will per form reliabl y from the time it is put into service. The following periodic maintenance is recommended to ensure that the HarmonicGuard Active filter will always perform reliably and provide the expected service life.

Periodic Maintenance

The following checks should be conducted monthly or more frequently when installed in harsh or dusty environments.
Check to see that the installation environment remains free from excessive vibration, exposure
to excessive dirt, moisture, and contaminants. Refer to the Pre-installation Planning section of this manual.
Check to make sure that the enclosure ventilation openings are clean and unobstructed.
Clean the air filter in units that have filter ed air inlets. Clean as often as necessary to prevent
dirt build-up from impeding air flow.
Check for any dust or dirt build-up on the fans and heat s ink fins.
Check the o peration o f t he cooling fan.
Inspect the interior of the enclosure for signs of overheated components. Clean the interior of
the enclosure whenever excess dirt has accumulated.
Check the integrity of all power , ground, and control wiring connec t ions.
All electrical connections must be re-torqued annually.
Many electronic components located within the filter are sensitive to static electricity. Voltages imperceptible to human touch can reduce the life, and affect performance, or destroy sensitive electronic devices. Use proper electrostatic discharge (ESD) procedures when se rvicing the filter and its circuit boards.
Warning
HGA. Disconnect all sources of power to the drive and HGA before working on the e quipment. Do not
attempt any work on a powered HGA. This HGA unit contains high voltages and c a pacitors. Wait at least five minutes after
disconnecting power from the filter before you attempt to service the conditioner. Check for zero voltage between all terminals on the capacitors. Also, check for zero voltage between all phases of the input and output lines. All maintenance and troubleshooting must be done by a qualified electrician.

Overload / Over Current Protected

The filter has factory set built-in electronic overload and over current protection. If the converter current exceeds the preset instantaneous peak, the converter will shut do wn to prevent p ermanent damage to the converter, and at which time it will indicate a fault. Faults that do not automaticall y reset can be cleared by pressing the stop button on the HMI display.
An indicati on that the filter is going into overload will be observed by a gradual worsening of the total harmonic distortion (THD), o r power factor, as the load increases. The HGA filter units can be paralleled to increase total corrective current capability if a unit is undersized for a particular application. Call TCI sales support for options to expand the installe d system current capabilit y.

Circuit Breaker Protection

Each converter section is protected by a thermo magnetic circuit breaker; in the event the HGA experiences a catastrophic failure, or a destructive over current condition should occur. It also provides a convenient disconnect means to isolate the converter from the power source. The size and type of circuit breaker must not be altered without consulting TCI engineering since the circuit breaker is an integral part of the UL file.
Notes:
Open chassis units can be provided without circuit breakers. The end user must protect the
HGA with the following UL listed thermal magnetic common trip molded case circuit breaker.
Warning
39, 45, 78 & 50 Amp: A max peak let-through current of 26 kA in correspondence with a
short circuit of 100 kA at 480 volt, and a trip current of 100 amps.
90 to 100 Amp: A max peak let-through current of 26 kA in correspondence with a short
circuit of 100 kA at 480 volt, and a trip current of 125 amps .
200 Amp: A max peak let-t hro ugh c urr ent o f 35 kA in correspondence with a short circuit
of 100 kA at 480 volt, and a trip current of 225 amps.
If the system breaker has been tripped, do not attempt to re-energize the HGA unit. Until the cause of the trip has been determined.

Pre-Charge Circuit Over Current Protec tion

SCR’s are used to limit the converter power up in-rush current to a safe level once the converter DC voltage has reached the threshold, SCRS will be turne d on and the charging resisto r will be cut off from the unit. If fo r so me reas on thi s circ uitr y shoul d mal func tion, c lass CC f uses ar e
in the circuit to limit the max current as not to exceed the ratin gs of the components. Note: on the 50 to 100 amp units the fuses are located on the chassis; on the 175 and 225 amp unit s the fuses are located on the interface/mother printed circuit board.

Over Temperature Protection

The converter has a thermal fold back mechanism that will automatically reduce unit output current as the converter temperature approaches its shutdown threshold. Additionally, the converter ha s an i nt er nal he a t sin k o ver temperatur e p r ot ec tio n whic h will sh ut d o wn t he c o nver te r if the threshold is exceeded. The fans will continue to run and o nce the hea t sink co ols do wn the converter will automatically restart.
There are secondary over temperature circuits which monitor the temperature of the power resistors and inductors locate d on the chassis of the HGA. The sensors are snap action switches activated when the threshold is reached. This over temp would be an indication that cooling fans
51
have failed or something more serious with the operation of the converter. For this reason this fault will latch and will remain latched until po wer is cycled. The indicator light located on relay CR-2 will not be lit with this type of over temp fault.

Troubleshooting

Current Transformer Orientation Troubleshoo ting

Failure to maintain the correct p olarity and phasing of the current trans formers (CTs) will cause an over current fault on power up. The converter will never attempt to run; it will stay in a stopped condition. Possibly the CTs are installed backwards or the secondary wiring is incorrect, if this is suspected refer to the steps below to isolate the error.
Note: CT operation can be verified via the HMI touchscreen feedback waveform plot screens. Reference the HMI VLine & ILine Waveform Plot Sub Screen in Section 6 for details.
Warning
Only qualified electricians should carry out all electrical installation and maintenance work on the HGA. Failure to follow standard safety procedures may result in death or serious injury.
Disconnect all sources of power to the drive and HGA befo re working on the equipment. Do not attempt any work on a powered HGA. Also, check for zero voltage between all phases of the input and output lines .
Operating current transformers with the secondary winding open can r esult in a high voltage across the secondary terminals which may be dangerous to personnel or equipment.
1.) If the CTs and wiring is easily accessible double check the CT orientation for proper direction, and
trace the secondary wiring against Figure 4.3 for polarity, phasing and connection to terminal TB-
1. Correct any errors and apply power for proper power-up, if it doesn’t clear the fault or if accessibility is too difficult pro c e e d to step #2.
2.) There is a possibility that the CTs markings are different from Figure 4.3. This could a ffect the
polarity, to verify this try reversing the two leads on TB-1 positions 1 &2, do the same with wires in positions 3 & 4. Apply power for proper power-up; if it doesn’t proceed to #3.
3.) Reverse just one set of CT leads at a time, first # 1 & 2; verify power-up. If it doesn’t work put
wires 1 & 2 back and now try the same with wires 3 & 4. Apply power for proper power-up; if it doesn’t replace all wiring to its original positions, and proceed to #4.
4.) There is a possibility that the phasi ng of the CT L1 and L3 are incorrect. To test this theory swap
the two wires o n TB-1 positions 1 & 2 with the two wires in positions 3 & 4. Apply power for proper power-up; if it doesn’t repeat steps 2 and 3.
5.) If the HGA doesn’t indicate a run status after completion of steps 1 through 4 contact TCI
technical support for further assistance.
Warning

System Failure

The Digital Signal Processor is continually mo nitoring the perfor mance and fault statu s of the filter. It will shut do wn the converte r section if the p rocessor should sense a fault. The filter is also equipped with a circuit breaker providing a second layer of over current protecting for the converter section. The circuit breaker can also serve as a means of electrical isolation from the system power grid. It is recommended by TCI that all power to the HarmonicGuard Ac tive filter be disconnected. If you elect to service the HGA by using the circuit breaker to isolate the converter section, please take special note of the following warnings:
Many electronic components located within the filter are sensitive to static electricity. Voltages imperceptible to human touch can reduce the life, and affect performance, or destroy sensitive electronic devices. Use proper electrostatic discharge (ESD) procedures when se rvicing the filter and its circuit boards.

Disconnect all sources of power to the drive and HGA before working on the e quipment. Do not attempt any work on a powered HGA.
This HGA unit contains high voltages and c a pacitors. Wait at least five minutes after disconnecting power from the filter before you attempt to service the conditioner. Check for zero voltage between all terminals on the capacitors. Also, check for zero voltage between all phases of the input and output lines. All maintenance and troubleshooting must be done by a qualified ele c trician. Failure to follow standard safety procedures may result in death or serious injury. Unless an external disconnect means
has been provided everything ahead of the filter circuit breaker, including the reactors, will still be energized.
Required Equipment
AC voltmeter and ammeter or multimeter designed for true RMS measurements in a
harmonic rich circuit and suitab le for the r a te d current and voltage marked on the nameplate. The meter should have 1000 volt minimum isolation.
Clamp-on current probe suitable for the rated current and voltage marked on the
nameplate.
Clip-on voltage probes suitable for the rated voltage marked on the nameplate Select
probes that can be securely clipped on to the test points without shorting between points or falling off.
Note: when disconnecting wires from components and terminations, mark the wires to correspond to their component and terminal connection. Extr eme Care should be ta ken when removing the fast-on terminals from the circuit board. Excessive force will result in damaging the interface board and require the converter to be repaired by TCI authorized personnel only.

Converter Inspection

Verify that power has been removed from converter, and 5 minutes has passed before
inspection.
Remove plastic cover from over converter section.
Visually check the circuit boards for debris; contamination; overheated traces; burnt
circuit board; overheated, cracked, or broken components; corrosion; and poor solder joints.
Check all wires and terminals connected to the circuit boards.
Check the four electrolytic cap acitors for bulges, ruptures, pop ped vent plugs,
discoloration, or leakage.
Check the p ower semiconductors mounted to heat-sink for cracked cases, ruptures,
debris, arcing, and burning.
Check for any loose connections if no apparent damage is found to the power
semiconductors.
Measure resistance of power semiconductors using a multimeter set on the diode check
setting, see Figure 5.2. Look for opens, ∞, your meter connected to the far right negative terminal of the capacitor bank, measure with the black lead of the meter to each of the three output terminals (bus bars), the
reading should be approximately 0.35Ω. Reverse the meter leads and repeat measuring to
each terminal. This time a low reading will be present which will continue to increase; this is an indication of a capacitor charging. Next connect the black meter lead to the “positive capacitor terminal” and again measure to each of the output terminals with the
other lead; the reading should be approximately 0.35 repeat measuring to each terminal. Again it will be a low reading which will continue to increase. If the readings are as described, in all likelihood the power semiconductors are good. If any readings are opens or dead shorts it will be an indication that something is bad in the power section. Do not reapply power if you are not sure the IGBT’s are good.

HMI Introduction
The Interface Module provides the user with a convenient way to monitor the operation of TCI’s HarmonicGuard Active filter and allows for the ability to adjust run-time set-points under password control. This section describes how to insta ll, operate, and maintain the Interface Module.

Overview

The Interface Module has three major components; the Interface PCB, the HMI Display and an option network Communications Gateway (see Figure 6.1).
The interface PCB contains a Chassis Communications Port that connects to the power converter of the HarmonicGuard Active filter. The interface PCB translates status and commands data between the power converter controls and the HMI Display. The interface PCB also contains the 24V Relay I/O for basic status monitoring and run/stop control of the HarmonicGuard Active filter.
The HMI Display is a 6” color Touchscreen display containing a series of status screens that provide the user with a convenient way to monitor the operation of the HarmonicGuard Active filter. The HMI display also contains an integrated ModbusRTU network connection for remote monitoring of the HarmonicGuard Active filter.
The optional network Communications Gateway can be connected to the integrated ModbusRTU network connection in the HMI Di s play to translate the ModbusRTU protocol to an alternate Field bus or Industrial Ethernet protocol such as Ethernet/I P.

VLine & ILine Waveform Plot Sub Screen
The VLine & ILine Wavefor m Plot Sub Screen is a vailable to verify the proper installation of the HarmonicGuard Active filter power connections and system current CT feedbacks. The waveform plot shows voltage and current feedback for both Phase A and C o n the same pl ot. When the HarmonicGuard Active filter is powered, but in the stopped state this plot can be used to check for the following:
Proper Line Voltage phase rotation
Proper Line/Load Current phase rotation
Proper Line Voltage and Line/Load Current relative polarity and phase.
Missing/Open Circuit System Current CT Feedback
In the event that the HarmonicGuard Active filter performance is degraded the VLine & ILine waveform plot should be examined as a means to determine if any system connection errors are present. Prior to examining the VLine & ILine waveform plot, the HarmonicGuard Active filter should be put in the stopped state by pressing the stop button in the upper left corner of the HMI screen. Figure 7.8 shows the VLine & ILine waveform plot sub screen for a properly connected, but non-running HarmonicGuard Active filter when connected to a typical non-linear, rectifier load. Note the following characteristics:
Phase C voltage (Blue) leads Phase A voltage (Green).
Phase C current (Yellow) leads Phase A current (Red).
Phase A voltage (Green) and Phase A current (Red) are in phase and the same polarity.
Phase C voltage (Blue) and Phase C current (Yellow) are in phase and the same polarity

Fault History Sub Screen

The “Fault History” sub screen (See Figure 7.12) contains up to 120 entries that mark the onset and clearing of system faults. At the onset of a fault condition an entry will be generated in the fault history marked with an “O” on the left side of the fault entry. When a fault clears an entry will be gener a te d in the fault history marked with an “X” on the left side o f the fau lt e ntry.
The Fault History persists through power on/off cycle s. In the event the fault history log exceeds the max number of 120 entries the oldest entry will be overwritten by new entries.

Sensor Wiring Error Auto Detection Sub Screen
Some HarmonicGuard Active filter models are equipped with voltage and current feedback sensor wiring error detection algorithms. The detection algorithms run briefly on unit p ower up and check the unit sensors fo r signature s of common wiring errors, such as incorrect ACB phase rotation (instead of the required ABC rotation) and inverted system CT polarity. The Sensor Wiring Error Sub Screen is a pop up screen which is not accessible from any of the main navigation screens. The
screen is only displayed if a wiring error is detected. If no sensor wiring errors are detected the pop up screen will remain hidden.
If a Sensor Wiring Error is detected the HGA will be in hib ited from running until system power is removed from the unit and the error is corrected.
The Sensor Wiring Error Detection feature is comprised of several independent detection algorithms. The two main categories of algorithms are voltage based detections and current based detections. The voltage based detection algorithms monitor the three phase line voltage input for proper ABC phase rotation, polarity, balance and nominal magnitude. The current based detection algorithms monitor the system Current Transformer (CT) sensor feedback for proper phase rotation, polarity, balance, and CT open or shorted conditions. The current base detections are only engaged if a minimum level of load current is present during power up. Both the voltage and current detection algorithms can be globally or individually configured by TCI qualified personnel via the password protected Technician level Setup Screen.

Network Inte rface

The network interface on the Interface Module allows basic Run/Stop commands and internal status data and can be communicated to and from the HarmonicGuard Active filter. The HMI display implements an integrated ModbusRTU slave device for the network interface (see the HMI Display Connection section) or an optional network communications gateway can be used such as Ether net/I P to implement other protoco ls (see Appendix).
The input/output register maps of the data available from the network interface are available in Table 7.18 and Table 7.19. All input and output registers are two bytes in size. For the base address of the input and output data sections please reference the connection sections in this manual specific to the configured protocol. For the integrated ModbusRTU network interface reference the HMI Display Connection section. If an option Communications Gateway is configured reference the appendix.

Maintenance

Clock Battery Replacement

The HMI Display Real Time Clock is maintained by a non-rechargeable battery internal to the HMI Display. Change the battery every ten years or as needed. The system will continue to function as an active filter with a dead battery but HMI information (fault logs and trend plots) will not be maintained between power cycles.
To replace the battery, open the battery cover on the back of the HMI Display (see Figure 8.1) and remove the old battery. Dispose or recycle the old battery in accordance with any applicable national, state/provincial, and local requirements. Install new battery and close battery cover.

Troubleshooting

HarmonicGuard A ctive Filter Fault

If the display indicates a fault has occurred proceed to the fault screen by choosing the “Fault” menu screen button. To see if this is a recurring fault hit the “History” button from inside the “Fault” screen. To clear a fault press the “Reset” button from inside the “Fault” Screen or the “Stop” button from any screen.
Warning
Only qualified electricians should carry out all electrical installation & maintenance work on t he HGA. Disconnect all sources of power to the drive and HGA before working on the e quipment. Do not
attempt any work on a powered HGA. This HGA unit contains high voltages and c a pacitors. Wait at least five minutes after disconnecting
power from the filter before attempting to service the conditioner. Check for zero voltage between all terminals on the capacitors. Also, check for zero voltage between all phases of the input and output lines. All maintenance and troubleshooting must be done by a qualified ele c trician. Failure to follow standard safety procedures may result in death or serious injury. Unless an external disconnect
means has been provided everything ahead of the filter circuit breaker, including the reactors, will still be energized.

Interface Module Problem

The Interface Module is comprised of four major components; the HMI display, the Interface PCB, the cabling and an optional Gateway. The Interface PCB contains diagnostic LEDs. The locations of the LEDs are shown in Figure 8.3, and their functions are listed in Table 8.1.
Figure 8.3 – Communications Board LED placement
Table 8.1 – LED Functions
98
Warning
Many electronic components located within the filter are sensitive to static electricity. Voltages imperceptible to human touch can reduce the life, affect performance and/or destroy sensitive electronic devices. Use proper electrostatic discharge (ESD) procedures when se rvicing the filter and its circuit boards.

Troubleshooting Notes

To reboot the system, remove power to the filter and Interface Module, wait a few minutes then
reapply. If this does not work check all the cable and connections, and try again. If the problem is still not resolved replace the Interface Module assembly.
If no buttons are pressed for 5 minutes the screen will turn off. To reactivate touch anywhere on the
screen.
If the HMI Display shows a “COM 1 Station 1: Communication Error” across the bottom of the
screen check the serial cable between HMI Display COM1 and Interface PCB J1.
If the HMI Display sho ws a “NO COM” indication on the system state indicator or a 7010
Communications Fault in the fault screen check the serial cable between Interface PCB J2 and the HarmonicGuard Active filter power converter module J25 (100A/50A units) or J7 (200A units).
