Setting Up The Network Characteristics And The Filter Synchro Mode - ABB PQFS Installation, Operation And Maintenance Instructions

7.7.2.1 Setting up the network characteristics and the filter synchro mode

For modifying the network characteristics and the filter synchro mode, go to
[/Welcome/Settings/Commissioning/Network charact.]
The network characteristics include:
WARNING: The filter hardware is by default set for operation at voltages in the
range 380-415V. When the filter is used in networks with voltages in the range 208-
240V, its hardware configuration needs to be changed. Refer to Section
For guidelines on how this needs to be done. Failure to adapt the filter hardware to
the right network voltage range may result in hardware failure.
WARNING: If the filter nominal frequency is changed to the wrong value, the filter
will refuse to start indicating a frequency error in the event logging window.
WARNING: This parameter shall only be changed by experienced commissioning
engineers or after advice from the ABB service provider. Using the wrong synchro
mode will lead to filter malfunctioning.

· For advanced filter setup (auto restart function, standby function, system clock
setup, external communication setup, system lock activation and password
setup) refer to Section 7.7.3.
· The nominal supply voltage: This value has to be set up according to the nominal
value of the grid voltage.
· The nominal value of the network frequency: This value has to be set up
according to the nominal value of the network frequency.
· The active filter synchronisation mode (Synchro Mode): By default single phase
synchronisation is used (Single ph.). In exceptional circumstances this may not
be adequate. In that case choose three phase synchronisation (Three ph.).
