Instruction Manual 9

1.2.- TRANSPORT AND HANDLING

The transport, loading, unloading and handling of the unit must be carried out with proper precautions and using the proper manual or mechanical tools to prevent damaging the unit.

If the unit is not to be immediately installed, it must be stored at a location with a firm and level floor, and the storage conditions listed in the section must be observed. 3.3.- STORAGE FOR LONG PERIODS In such a case, the unit should be kept in its original protective packaging.

To move the unit a short distance, the unit's floor support profiles facilitate handling with a pallet jack or forklift. (Figure 2)

The centre of gravity of some units may be found at a considerable height. Therefore, when handling with a forklift, it is recommended that the unit be securely fastened and that no abrupt operations are made. The unit should not be lifted more than 20 cm off the ground.

Figure 2: Transport with pallet jack

When unloading and moving the unit, use a forklift with forks long enough to support the entire length of the base. Otherwise, the forks should be long enough to support at least ¾ of said depth. The forks must be flat and supported firmly by the base. The cabinet must be raised by placing the forks underneath the profile that supports the unit. (Figure 3).

Page 10: Active multi-function filter - Circutor

AFQ-4W, AFQ-3W

10 Instruction Manual

There might be an offset in the centre of gravity from the centre of the cabinet, as a result of the uneven distribution of loads inside the unit. The necessary precautions must be taken to prevent the unit from tipping over during abrupt operations.

Figure 3: Unloading with a forklift

1.3.- STORAGE

The unit should be stored according to the following recommendations:

• Avoid placing it on uneven surfaces. • Do not store it in outdoor areas, humid areas or areas exposed to

splashing water. • Avoid hot spots (maximum ambient temperature: 45 ºC) • Avoid saline and corrosive environments. • Avoid storing the unit in areas where a lot of dust is generated or where

the risk of chemical or other types of contamination is present. • Do not place any weight on top of the unit cabinets.

3. UNIT INSTALLATION

3.1.- PRELIMINARY RECOMMENDATIONS

The unit installation and the maintenance operations must only be carried out by authorised and qualified personnel.

In order to use the unit safely, it is critical that individuals who handle it follow the safety measures set out in the standards of the country where it is being used, use the personal protective equipment necessary, and pay attention to the various warnings indicated in this instruction manual.

Incorrect installation or configuration of the unit could cause serious damage to the unit itself and to other devices of the installation.

The AFQ-4W-50, AFQ-4W-100, AFQ-4W-150, AFQ-4W-200, AFQ-3W-50, AFQ-3W-100, AFQ-3W-150 and AFQ-3W-200 units are not designed to be connected to low voltage domestic overhead public power lines. These units are designed to be connected in industrial environments, technical areas and buildings powered by a dedicated transformer and not powered directly by the low voltage overhead public power line.

Disconnect the main switch before starting any maintenance task on the active filters.

The unit uses DC and AC capacitors. Before starting any maintenance, wait 5 minutes and check that there is no residual voltage stored in the capacitors.

Page 17: Active multi-function filter - Circutor

AFQ-4W, AFQ-3W

Instruction Manual 17

Make sure the unit is properly earthed before powering up. Any fault in the earth connection might cause a risk of electrocution to the user and damage to the unit itself in the case of lightning or other transients.

Before operating on the current transformers, make sure the secondary is short circuited. Never open a current transformer secondary under load.

Never power or start up the active filter with the front door open or the side or rear covers removed.

Check that there is a neutral in the place where three-phase active filter connections are made with neutral, AFQ-4W. The active filter must be of the correct size for the harmonic currents it has to filter and to comply with the installation's electrical features.

Check the section 3.4.- SIZING THE NOMINAL CURRENT OF THE AFQ-4W and AFQ-3W to define the correct unit size. Failing to observe the recommendations described in this section might cause the active filter to work incorrectly and prevent proper compensation of the installation's current harmonics.

Connect a reactor of at least 3% of the impedance on the input of each of the loads.

Do not weld the housing of the AFQ to the facility's floor, since this can cause irreparable damage to the device. To secure the cabinet to the facility floor, use the holes designed for such purposes, see Figure 12.

Page 18: Active multi-function filter - Circutor

AFQ-4W, AFQ-3W

18 Instruction Manual

Figure 12 : Holes used to secure the cabinets to the floor.

3.2.- INSTALLATION LOCATION

The unit must be installed in an environment where the temperature outside the cabinet is between 0ºC and 45ºC, with a maximum humidity of 90% (non-condensing). Do not install the unit close to a hot spot and keep it out of direct sunlight. Ventilation spaces must be left on the side and rear to allow for the use of fans. There must also be sufficient space at the front of the cabinet to be able to open the door if necessary (Figure 13): 200 mm on the sides of the cabinet. 200 mm between the top of the cabinet and the ceiling. 800 mm on the front panel of the cabinet.

Figure 13: Active filter spaces for ventilation.

AFQ AFQ

Page 19: Active multi-function filter - Circutor

AFQ-4W, AFQ-3W

Instruction Manual 19

Install the AFQ-4W or AFQ-3W in a place protected from water, flammable liquids, gases and corrosive substances.

Make sure there are no power factor correction units installed in the same main as the AFQ-4W or AFQ-3W. If there are any compensation units, these must be detuned in order to avoid interference between them and the AFQ.

3.3.- STORAGE FOR LONG PERIODS

If the unit is not installed after receipt, the following recommendations must be observed to keep the unit in a good state: Keep the unit in a dry atmosphere and at a temperature of between 0ºC

and 45ºC. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight. Keep the unit in its original packaging.

If the active filter is stored for a long time disconnected from the main, a process must be applied to restore the internal dielectric layers of the DC bus capacitors. Table 3 shows the recommendations for starting the unit depending on the length of its storage period.

Storage time Process < 1 year No special treatment required.

> 2 years Connect the AFQ to the mains at least one hour before starting up the unit. Power the unit and leave it in STOP mode

AFQ-4W, AFQ-3W

20 Instruction Manual

3.4.- SIZING THE NOMINAL CURRENT OF THE AFQ-4W and AFQ-3W The purchased active filter must be sized for the harmonic currents it has to filter. The nominal current of the AFQ-4W or AFQ-3W must be at least 20% higher than the maximum level of harmonics to be filtered. This factor may be higher depending on the installation features. The active filters can suffer from overloading when trying to cancel the harmonic currents in high-impedance, short-circuit mains. The clearest symptom for detecting such cases is that they originally start from a THD(V) (under voltage) of over 3%. It has been seen that the higher the initial THD(V), the greater the chance of filter overload. The reason for this behaviour is that the load does not behave as a current source, but rather the larger the harmonic current absorbed by the filter the more harmonics are produced by the load, which can produce up to more than double what was initially measured. To avoid this phenomenon, it is best to oversize the active filter by multiplying the initial current of harmonics measured in the load by a safety factor (SFh). In other words:

Ifilter (AFQ) = [SFh · Iload · THD(I) ] Where: Ifilter (AFQ): nominal current of the active filter SFh: safety factor > 1.2. Iload: load maximum current THD(I): load current harmonic distortion

Equation 1: Nominal current of the AFQ. To calculate this safety factor you must first know the parameter called short-circuit ratio RSC at the connection point of the PCL converters (not on the installation input). The short-circuit ratio is defined as the ratio between the short-circuit current of a main (ISC) and the nominal current of the set of non-linear converters (INLC) producing the harmonics to be filtered. (Equation 2)

CNL

SCSC I

IR =

Equation 2: Calculating the short-circuit ratio RSC. In a real installation, the short-circuit current (ISC) in the PCL can be assessed by having the voltage at the said point for two different load currents. For example,

full load, IA and 10% load, IB. If VOC is the rated voltage at no-load, the ISC, can be calculated using the formula shown in Figure 14:

Figure 14: Graph for calculating ISC. The safety factor (SFh) can be obtained from the graph in Figure 15:

Figure 15: Approximate graph for calculating the SFh.

3.5.- CONNECTIONS

All power and current reading cables must enter the electrical cabinet cover at the bottom, guaranteeing the IP and the user protection against the parts of the cabinet with high voltages (Figure 16).

Figure 16: Cable inlet at the bottom of the cabinet.

Carrying out machining outside of the area enabled for this (Figure 16) risks the integrity of the unit and users, and loss of the warranty.

Machining the cable inlet cover outside the cabinet so that machining chips do not affect the operation of the AFQ.

3.5.4. CURRENT TRANSFORMER CONNECTION

The TI1, TI2 and TI3 current transformers can be located on the load side (downstream from the AFQ) or on the main side (upstream from AFQ). In the active filter, connections S1/L1, S1/L2, S1/L3 S2/L1, S2/L2, S2/L3 have to be made as shown in Figure 24.

Figure 24: Transformer connection points in the AFQ.

Class 0.2S transformers of the CT or TCH series are recommended.

The use of class 0.2, 0.5s or 0.5 transformers will slightly jeopardise the behaviour of the active filter although they always provide acceptable harmonic filtering replies.

The use of transformers with ratios close to the current to be measured is recommended.

Page 29: Active multi-function filter - Circutor

AFQ-4W, AFQ-3W

Instruction Manual 29

Current transformers TI1, TI2 and TI3 must be correctly connected for the AFQ filters to work properly. If the phases L1, L2 and L3 are switched in the secondary, the filter will not work properly. Check the connections and make sure that: TI1 measures phase 1 and the transformer output cables are connected in posts S1/L1 and S2/ L1 of the filter cabinet. TI2 measures phase 2 and the transformer output cables are connected in posts S1/L2 and S2/ L2 of the filter cabinet. TI3 measures phase 3 and the transformer output cables are connected in posts S1/L3 and S2/ L3 of the filter cabinet.

3.5.5. SELECTION OF THE MAIN VOLTAGE (ONLY FOR AFQ-3W)

The AFQ-3W has a transformer to power the cooling system and switching devices at 230V. Before powering the AFQ-3W, you need to select the main voltage in the terminals situated next to the connection of the current measurement transformers. There are three terminals: 400V, 440V and 480V. Make the connection in the terminal according to the following rules:

- For main voltages below 420V, select terminal 400V. - For main voltages between 420V and 450V, select terminal 440V. - For main voltages between 450V and 480V, select terminal 480V.

If the transformer ratio is not that of the transformer installed, the AFQ will not work properly.

Page 33: Active multi-function filter - Circutor

AFQ-4W, AFQ-3W

Instruction Manual 33

Configure the number of current transformers, CTs NUMBER: - The AFQ-4W only allows the 3 current transformers (CT) option. - The AFQ-3W allows the configuration of 2 or 3 current transformers (CT).

In the 2 CTs option you must install TC1 measuring the L1 phase and TC2 measuring the L2 phase. The L3 phase is left without a current measurement transformer.

In three-phase mains with neutral, 3 CTs are needed to ensure the proper operation of the unit.

Configure the location of the transformers, CTs LOCATION. Select the load side option for CTs installed downstream from the AFQ, or the main side for CTs installed upstream from the AFQ. (See 3.5.1. CONNECTION OF THE AFQ-4W MODELS and 3.5.2.

4. OPERATION

4.1.- OPERATING PRINCIPLE

4.1.1.- HARMONICS

Non-linear loads such as: rectifiers, inverters, speed drives, ovens, etc., absorb periodic non sine-wave currents from the main. These currents are composed of a fundamental frequency component, rated at 50 or 60 Hz, plus a series of overlapping currents, with frequencies that are multiples of the fundamental frequency; they are defined as HARMONICS.

Figure 37: Distorted wave shape decomposition.

The result is a deformation of the current and, as a result, of the voltage, causing a series of associated side effects. These can be machinery overload, electric cable heating, circuit breaker disconnection, damage to sensitive units, etc.

Order (n) Mains frequency

Fundamental: 50 Hz Fundamental: 60 Hz 3 150 Hz 180 Hz 5 250 Hz 300 Hz 7 350 Hz 420 Hz

Table 5: Frequency of each harmonic.

4.1.2.- BASIC CONCEPTS

It is best to define some terms related to harmonics, fundamental for interpreting any measurement and study:

Fundamental frequency (f1): Original wave frequency (50/60 Hz).

Order of a harmonic (n): A whole number given by the ratio between the frequency of a harmonic and the fundamental frequency. The order determines the frequency of the harmonic (E.g.: 5th harmonic → 5•50 Hz = 250 Hz).

Fundamental component (U1 o I1): A sine wave component of order 1 of the Fourier frequency serial development equal to the original periodic wave.

Page 39: Active multi-function filter - Circutor

AFQ-4W, AFQ-3W

Instruction Manual 39

Harmonic component (Un o In): A sine wave component of order over 1 of the Fourier frequency serial development a whole multiple of the original frequency.

Individual distortion rate (Un% o In%): A ratio in % between the RMS value of the voltage or harmonic current (Un o In) and the RMS value of the fundamental component (U1 o I1).

Equation 3: Individual distortion rate

True root mean square value (TRMS): The square root of the sum of the squares of all components forming the wave.

Equation 4: True root mean square value

Harmonic content: The difference between the total voltage or current and the corresponding fundamental value.

Harmonic distortion rate (THD): The ratio between the RMS value of the harmonic content of the voltage and/or current and the value of the fundamental component.

Equation 5: Harmonic distortion rate.

4.1.3.- MOST COMMON HARMONICS

Table 6 lists the most common harmonic generator loads and the wave shape of the current they consume, as well as their harmonic spectrum.

Type of load Wave shape Harmonic spectrum THD(I) 6-pulse converters: - Speed drives - UPSs - Three-phase rectifiers - Converters for

electrolysis and baths

- Discharge lamps - Single-phase converters - Lighting lines - Computer lines - Sound and image units

Table 6: Most common harmonics.

4.1.4.- HARMONIC COMPENSATION

Active filters are units responsible for the compensation of harmonic currents. Compensation is achieved by injecting harmonic currents equal to those in the installation in counter phase. This means that upstream of the filter connection point, the signal shows virtually no harmonic distortion. (Figure 38).

Figure 38: General connection diagram of an active filter

Page 41: Active multi-function filter - Circutor

AFQ-4W, AFQ-3W

Instruction Manual 41

4.1.5.- OPERATING PRINCIPLE

Active filters are based on the following principle:

IFILTER = IMAIN - ILOAD

Equation 6: Operating principle

In other words, they detect the difference between the required current sine wave (IMAIN) and the signal deformed by the harmonics (ILOAD). And they inject the difference between both waves (IFILTER). Figure 39 show the wave shapes of the currents injected by the active filters. These show the required wave, the existing deformed wave and the filter current (IFILTER).

Figure 62: Alarm activation screen.

Polarity alarm: With the polarity alarm enabled, the active filter detects the direction of the load measuring transformer current and if it detects inverse polarity (current towards the main) it returns to the initial conditions and restarts with the new conditions in measuring the current. In the case of regenerative loads temporarily injecting current into the main, the polarity alarm will be activated. With the polarity alarm disabled, the active filter DOES NOT automatically detect the direction of the current of the load measuring transformers. The

Page 58: Active multi-function filter - Circutor

AFQ-4W, AFQ-3W

58 Instruction Manual

polarity of the measuring transformers is defined as indicated in Figure 23 and Figure 24. In case of regenerative loads injecting energy into the main, the active filter continues to perform harmonic filtering functions. Negative active power on the load power display screen indicates that the load is injecting energy into the main.

Disable the polarity alarm only in installations with loads temporarily injecting current into the main.

This option is enabled by default and it is recommended not to disable it.

Before starting the active filter with the polarity alarm disabled, check the connection and polarity of the load measuring transformers.

Low temperature Alarm: This alarm is activated to prevent the unit from starting when the temperature inside the active filter is below 0ºC or when there is a problem in the connections of the temperature probes.

This option is enabled by default and it is recommended not to disable it.

Resonance Alarm: The resonance alarm protects the unit against possible resonating currents between the AFQ and the load. This alarm is tripped when the level of a harmonic in the load current rises considerably.

This option is enabled by default and it is recommended not to disable it.

Before disabling the resonance alarm, it is essential to make sure there is no resonating current between the active filter and the load. Resonating currents can damage the active filter and other devices connected to the installation.

Instruction Manual 59

4.3.3.- CONFIGURATION OF PARAMETERS

This menu (Figure 63) contains the parameters that have to be configured during the installation of the active filter. To be modify these parameters, you have to unlock the password (refer to 4.3.6.- PASSWORD) and have the filter in “STOPPED” mode.

Figure 63: Parameter configuration screen.

Minimum current: The minimum load current to start the active filter. The AFQ will stop when the load current is below the entered value and will start when it is higher. Control algorithm: Control algorithm selection:

1, Frequency mode: Harmonic filtering based on the selection of the harmonics to be neutralised from the 3rd to the 25th. (Option enabled by default.)

2, Temporary mode: Harmonic filtering based on the total and instant neutralisation of the 3rd to 50th harmonics. When the temporary mode is active, the AFQ resets all the harmonics selected in “Selective filtering” (Section 4.3.2.2) to completely neutralise the harmonics.

The Temporary mode (2) is NOT selectable if the location of the current transformers on the main side is enabled.

Page 60: Active multi-function filter - Circutor

CTs ratio: The ratio between the load transformer primary and secondary. The active filter admits the following transformation ratios: 5/5, 10/5, 15/5, , 25/5, 30/5, 40/5, 50/5, 60/5, 75/5, 100/5, 125/5, 150/5, 200/5, 250/5, 300/5, 400/5, 500/5, 600/5, 700/5, 750/5, 800/5, 1000/5, 1200/5, 1500/5, 1600/5, 2000/5, 2500/5, 3000/5, 4000/5 and 5000/5. CTs number: This option allows you to configure the number of current transformers (2 or 3) used to measure the load. The AFQ-4W only allows the 3 current transformers option. The AFQ-3W allows you to select 2 or 3 current transformers.

In the 2 CTs option you must install TC1 measuring the L1 phase and TC2 measuring the L2 phase. The L3 phase is left without a current measurement transformer.

In three-phase mains with neutral, 3 CTs are needed to ensure the proper operation of the unit.

CTs location: Select the load side option for CTs installed in the load current (downstream from the AFQ), or main side for CTs installed in the mains current (upstream from the AFQ). (See 3.5.1. CONNECTION OF THE AFQ-4W MODELS and 3.5.2. CONNECTION OF THE AFQ-3W MODELS).
