Commissioning report
8.11.2 Inspection on site – verification of the active filter after installation
Ambient conditions
Check the ambient temperature (< 40°C/104°F) (if > 40°C/104°F, derating is required)
–
Check the installation altitude (< 1000m/3300ft) (if > 1000m/3300ft, derating is required)
–
Check the ventilation (room and enclosure)
–
Ensure that no sources of conductive dust are present
–
Internal connections
(a)
Disconnect the filter from the supply including the auxiliary circuit (disconnection recommended
–
by upstream protection)
Remove filter internal protection grid
–
DC capacitor voltage low enough to operate safely (DC voltage measurement)
–
Change auxiliary transformer primary tap setting to correspond to network nominal voltage
–
rating
(b)
Wiring of main and auxiliary circuit
–
Tightness of all electrical connections
–
Connectors properly plugged in
–
Fixation of components
–
Remove anti-corrosion capsules installed at the inside of the filter door (if still present)
–
Clearances
–
Cooling fans running freely
–
Address of each filter unit in a multi-unit system set to a different value and 'main' master has
–
the lowest address
(c)
CAN bus terminated properly on each unit of a multi-unit system
–
CAN bus communication cable between the different units properly installed
–
Earth interconnection between the different units installed
–
Installation
(a)
Check cross-sections of power supply cables (L1-L2-L3)
–
Check cross-section of protective conductors (PE) (> = 16 mm²) connected to each cubicle and
–
between cubicles.
Check tightness of conductor fixations
–
The material of busbars, terminals and conductors must be compatible (corrosion)
–
Check the setting and operation of the protective apparatus
–
Check rated current of the power supply cable fuses (if applicable)
–
Check the cabling of the digital I/O (if present)
–
Check the voltage in accordance with the specification
–
Check the phase rotation order
–
(clockwise)
(b)
For multi-unit filters, check that the same phases are connected to the same filter power
–
terminals for the individual units
Check visually the current transformers
–
Ratio
-
Installed at the right side (feeding-side of the active filter)
-
For multi-unit filters, check that the CTs of all units are cabled in a daisy chain fashion with return
–
path
(d)
Remove all jumpers of all current transformers (CTs and SCTs)
–
