1.2 Intended Use

The PQSine S Series active harmonic filter (“AHF”) is used for active compensation of the following
issues:
• Reactive power
• Harmonic content and for
• Load balancing
The active harmonic filter (AHF) is applicable to industrial occasion, in parallel connection with harmonic
source in power grid and serving the purpose of harmonic suppression.
Please ensure that no power-factor compensation systems, which are not de-tuned, are connected to
the same grid. Otherwise interactions between the AHF and the compensation systems could occur.
Dangerous Voltage
Risk of death due to short circuits and electric shock if the active filter is
DANGER opened while connected to the ac mains or for up to 30 minutes after
being disconnected from the ac mains
 All interventions involving opening the device cover or removing or
installing the connection cable may only be performed by qualified
personnel.
 Make absolutely sure that the filter is grounded. Good grounding is
required to prevent any risk from leakage current.
 Do not set up the filter near liquids.
 Do not expose the filter to excessive humidity.
 Remove or open the covers/doors only if the power is switched off.
1.3 Personal qualification

Installation of the active filter, inspections for proper operation, and certain troubleshooting measures
may only be performed by qualified personnel. All other measures may be performed by people who
have read these instructions.
1.4 Environmental conditions

All AHF must be installed in a clean, dry location, e.g. in sufficiently ventilated or
air conditioned electric cabinets or closed electric rooms.
CAUTION Contaminants such as oils, liquids, corrosive vapors, abrasive debris, dust and
aggressive gases must be kept out of the filter enclosure.
WARNING: Conductive dust may cause damage to AHF. Ensure that installation
site of AHF is free of conductive dust.

Please carefully read the provided information and check, if your application fulfills the required
specifications below. The manufacturer’s warranty shall lapse, if the active harmonic filters are
transported, stored, installed or operated outside their published specifications.
The environmental conditions are specified in Product Parameter.
1.5 Notes for use

The AHF is used to compensate power harmonic, so AHF capacity should be considered in accordance
with harmonic content in case that insufficient capacity affects the performance of compensation.
• For AHF to compensate, external CTs must be installed to detect the current.
• To ensure AHF has good reliability and to avoid overheating, do not block or cover the air
inlet/outlet.
• Make sure that no corrosive gas and conductive dust exist in work environment and that the
working temperature is ranged between -10°C and 40°C. AHF current will start to derate if
operated outside these temperature range. The device will be shutting down when the IGBT
temperature reaches 100℃, which can be equated roughly to an ambient temperature of 55℃.
• User needs to specify it particularly when grid voltage distortion rate is higher than 15% so that
the possibility of other alternate/add on solutions can be discussed.
• The ventilation clearance requirement varies from case to case , depending on the panel design,
no of units in the panel , horizontal / vertical/ wall mounting etc. So please make sure to seek
expert opinion on ventilation requirement needed for the selected solution. Sufficient ventilation
should be provided to the modules/wall mounted units /cabinets. For the standard enclosure
having horizontal modules mounted horizontally, a minimum clearance of 600mm should be
allowed on the front and rear side of the enclosure
1.6 Notes for storage

Seal the AHF in its original packing materials in order to avoid damage caused by rodent invasion. If
you don’t install AHF immediately after you receive it, do store it in a dry, well-ventilated indoor
environment. Make sure the temperature is between -40°C~70°C, and relative humidity between
5％～95％.

2 PQSine S Series Active Harmonic Filter

2.1 Principle of operation
The active filter enables:

• Reduction of the harmonic current content
• Compensation of reactive power
• Load balancing
The ac mains current, disturbed by a non-linear load, is measured by the active Filter either directly or
indirectly via external current transformers. The harmonic content and reactive power components are
detected and processed in a digital control structure.
The active filter continually generates a compensating current that compensates the harmonic content
and reactive current in the load, so the ac mains only has to provide only the active fundamental phase
current as is shown in Fig. 2.1.
Fig 2.1 Principle of operation of the active filter

The active filter instantly adapts to all changes in the load and the systems harmonic content spectrum,
in order to be able to optimally respond at any time.

As shown in Fig 2.1 Principle of operation of the active filter, EPCOS AHF detects load current on a
real-time basis through external CT, and extracts the harmonic content of load current. After data
analysis, the controller of AHF drives internal IGBT by using PWM signals and makes the inverter
produce reverse current of the same magnitude of load harmonic, which is injected to the power grid to
compensate harmonic current.
As shown in Fig 2.2, EPCOS AHF adopts 3-level topological structure, and each phase leg consists of
four bidirectional switches and two clamping diodes. Take phase-A leg as example, when Tu1, Tu2 is
on and Tu3, Tu4 is off, the voltage between point A and point O (VAO) is Vd/2; when Tu2, Tu3 is on
and Tu1, Tu4 is off, point A is connected to point O, so VAO is equal to 0; when Tu3, Tu4 is on and
Tu1, Tu2 is off, VAO is equal to -Vd/2.
Therefore, each phase leg can output three states of voltage level. The output terminal of each phase
leg is connected to the power grid through inductor, which continuously charge and discharge to
compensate harmonic under the combined influence from tri-level inverter and grid voltage.

3 Installation and Wiring

Despite the variety of EPCOS AHF modules, the same-size chassis are applied for those with close
capacity level, e.g. models such as 25A and 35A use the same chassis, and so do 50A and 60A.
Similarly the 75A and 90A also share the same chassis. The purpose is to facilitate management，
installation and electrical connection. For different modules (25A, 35A, 50A, 60A and 100A)，all the
power connections are identical, so do signal interfaces. Thus, we’ll introduce the installation, electrical
connection and connection in parallel operation of EPCOS AHF based on two examples EPCOS 050A
AHF and EPCOS 150 AHF.
3.1 Confirmation before installation
The PQSineTM S-Series active harmonic filter is used for Harmonic compensation, reactive power
compensation and load balancing. No other use is allowed. Ensure that you are using the right AHF
system for your application. Due to the difference of installation environment for each user, do read the
guide carefully before installation. The installation，assembly and starting up must be conducted by
qualified professional personnel. When stacking machine or other tools are used to transport the unit,
make sure whether its load-bearing capacity is enough. Check the weight of AHF in Table 2.1 and
Before proceeding with the installation, make sure that the power input terminals are disconnected.
Good grounding must be ensured to avoid any damage from leakage current. Maintain good and
effective grounding for AHF system. Provide the means to isolate any faulty units / modules in the
system in case of any accident. Please ensure that no power factor compensation systems, which are
not (de-tuned), are connected to the same grid. Confirm the cable mark of power input terminal and the
cable mark of external CT and make sure the size of wire, diameter and phase order of input power are
correct. Refer to Selection of Cable and Accessories page 97 for the input cable specification.

3.2 Module installation

3.2.1 Installation of EPCOS 50A AHF
EPCOS 50A AHF can be classified into LED, 3-phase 3-wire & 3-phase 4-wire system, and rack-
mounted & wall-mounted. The LED module contains at its front panel two LED indicators at its front
panel and they are monitored and debugged in different ways. Because their chassis are almost of the
same-size, we only introduce the installation and electrical connection of one of the LED model of the
same capacity level.
As shown in Fig 3.1, rack-mounted module is fixed in the cabinet. The fixed hole for installation of a
single module is marked and the wall-mounted model is fixed on hardened wall or directly in the cabinet,
and the fixed size and fixed hole site for installation are marked in Fig 3.2.

3.3.1 Electrical connection of EPCOS 050A AHF
The electrical interfaces of rack-mounted module and wall-mounted module are the same, so we only
introduce the key points of electrical connection of rack-mounted module. For single module of 50A
AHF, 3-phase power cable, N cable, PE cable and external CT cable are required to install. The
electrical connection is illustrated in Fig 3.4 (applicable to 3-phase 4-wire system together with phase
N cable，and CT installed through phase A, phase B and phase C).

Signal interface is listed in Fig 3.7. The monitoring interface in the figure is connected to the 7’’-inch
centralized monitor through communication wire. It is mainly used to monitor and debug LED machine.
CT and communication signal descriptions are listed in Table 3.1. The dial switch is used to number
each module (e.g. module 1, module 2 ……module n). When the rack mounted modules operate in
parallel, select “module 1” (or module 2……module n) on the 7-inch screen to check the operating state
of each module. The dial switch is 4-bit, but the available bit is 1~3, the 4th bit reserved for the
manufacturer. The relation between the dial switch and device No. is based on binary system, “1”
indicating “on” and “0” indicating “off”. Refer Table 3.2 for specific description.

the second channel of output and two input channels to expand the function, e.g. display status
information or alarm information. Such board is not installed on our standard AHF. Customers may
order the board separately if they need it. Definition of network interface and dry contact interface is
listed in Table 3.3. This dry contact interface is only inbuilt in certain module ratings, for other this dry
contact needs to be installed additionally as an external unit.

3.4 Electrical interconnection of LCD-displayed wall mounted

parallel modules
3.4.1 Electrical interconnection of EPCOS 050A AHF
The wall mounted modules comes with a fitted 4.3 inch LCD display on all individual units. So each
modules has got a display in order to feed the settings. The individual wall mounted capacity is entered
in the respective LCD display and the CT is connected in series between the individual wall mounted
units. The electrical interconnection of parallel wall mounted units are illustrated in Fig 3.9.
All modules for parallel operation are installed according to site condition.
In case of single module system, the CT location can be set up “Load” or “Grid”. For multi
module system, CT location can only be entered as load side. In case if the CTs can only be
physically connected at the grid side, a second set of CTs need to be connected in the AHF path
to calculate the effective load current and the settings should be entered as “Load” in the
display. In parallel operation, the power cables of all wall mounted units are connected exactly the
same way as that in single module system. Note the mode of connection of signal interface. The front
board of wall mounted module contains LCD monitor, each 4.3-inch screen monitoring and debugging
the operating state of local device. As 7-inch monitor is not used, there is no need to number every wall
mounted units (namely no need to set dial switch for every wall mounted units / rack mounted modules).
Thus, it is enough to connect CT signal interface in parallel operation instead of connecting 485+, 485-
, EPO_A and GND_ISO of all modules with each other. It is recommended that series mode be adopted
for connection of CT signal interface among all wall mounted units, as shown in Fig 3.10. Contact
EPCOS product engineer for details if you decide to adopt parallel mode for connection of CT signal
interface as shown in Fig 3.11 .
Fig 3.9 Electrical interconnection of LCD-displayed parallel modules (1~N)

Series connection of CT signal interface of two modules in parallel operation is illustrated in Fig 3.10,
S1 and S2 indicating the two interfaces of the CT of one of the phases. Parallel connection of CT in
parallel operation is illustrated in Fig 3.11. To ensure current sharing between the modules, such mode

of connection requires the same Cable length from S1 and S2 to the two module signal interfaces.
Parallel connection of CT is more complicated in site installation and connection under different
environment. Therefore, we recommend that user should adopt series connection. Both Fig 3.10 and
Fig 3.11 show the parallel operation of two modules. You can refer to these two figures for details to
know parallel connection of more modules.
When CT signal interface needs to be connected in parallel, the cable length from external CT interface
to all single modules should be the exactly the same to achieve the effect of current sharing. Generally,
the parallel cable should be shorter than 15m. If the selected cable is longer than 30m, specific solution
should be provided (e.g. strengthen the effect of shielding or adopt cable with lower electrical resistivity).
Contact EPCOS product engineer in advance for parallel cable longer than 30m.

need to be all connected depending on whether the unit is 3P3W or 3P4W.
3.4.2 Electrical Interconnection of EPCOS Wall Mounted AHF units
The rule adopted in parallel operation of EPCOS 050A AHF can be applied to all other wall mounted
AHF units. Refer the schematic structure in Fig 3.9. It is only required to connect CT signal interface in
parallel operation instead of connecting 485+, 485-, EPO_A and GND_ISO of all modules. We
recommend that series connection be adopted for CT signal interface. The mark on the back board of
chassis should be noted. The direction for the power terminal of EPCOS 150A AHF is A, B, C and N
from left to right, while the direction for wall mounted units of other capacity levels is N, C, B and A from
left to right.
3.4.3 Electrical Interconnection of wall mounted modules of different capacity
To cope with different work environments and satisfy different requirements for harmonic suppression,
user may combine wall mounted modules of different capacity levels in parallel. For example, EPCOS
025A AHF and EPCOS 050A AHF can be combined to compensate harmonic and output maximum
current of 75A.
When combining EPCOS 25A AHF and EPCOS 50A AHF, you may refer to section 3.3 (key information
about electrical connection of single unit) to know the electrical connection of their power terminals.
There is no need to connect 485+, 485-, EPO_A and GND_ISO of these two modules to each other
and series connection is adopted among CT signal interfaces. As shown in Fig 3.12, CT_A_GND of
25A AHF and CT_A of 50A AHF are connected, then CT_A of 25A AHF, CT_A_GND of 50A AHF
connected separately to S1 and S2 of external CT. The same way of connection must be applied
between CT_B, CT_B_GND, CT_C and CT_C_GND of 25A AHF and CT_B, CT_B_GND, CT_C and
CT_C_GND of 50A AHF.

3.5 Electrical interconnection of rack mounted parallel

modules
3.5.1 Standard cabinet of rack mounted (LED) modules
Rack mounted modules are installed in cabinet and provided with centralized monitor of 7 inch LCD
screen. Therefore, EPCOS designs AHF cabinet, which is described in Fig 3.13. In the design of
cabinet, EPCOS adopts structural shapes similar to low-voltage power distribution cabinet, cabinet size
is kept the same as the low-voltage power distribution cabinets at both sides. The purpose is to satisfy
the requirement of copper bar through top of cabinets and combined cabinet locked at both sides,
facilitating the combination with low-voltage power distribution cabinet.
Besides, EPCOS AHF cabinet can be independently used, namely no need to combine cabinet
(independent cabinet recommended, more convenient). EPCOS provides standard cabinets with three
sizes: 600 (W) x 1000 (D) x 2200 (H), 800 (W) x 1000 (D) x 2200 (H) and 800 (W) x 800 (D) x 2200 (H).
User may design cabinet according to his own need.
AHF 400V /600 A FM -4W 10: Single AHF cabinet with full capacity of 600A, used in 3-phase 4-wire
system of 400V, with centralized monitor, upper inlet wire, used independently (namely no combined
cabinet).
3.5.2 Electrical interconnection of a rack mounted module (eg EPCOS 050A AHF)
Fig 3.13 Electrical interconnection of rack mounted parallel modules (1~N)

The electrical interconnection of parallel rack mounted modules is illustrated in Fig 3.13. There is only
rack-mounted are also referred to as LED modules. The electrical interconnection of such model is
completed in cabinet, monitored by 7-inch screen, and device number of all modules determined by
dial switch on the back board of chassis. Compared with wall mounted modules which self-contains
monitoring screen, the rack mounted module interconnection adopts different methods to connect signal

interface in parallel operation. Except CT signal interface, 485+, 485-, EPO_A and GND_ISO are also
required to be connected.
Take three parallel modules of EPCOS 50A AHF as example. As shown in Fig 3.14, the dial switch of
module 1 is set as CT2=CT1=CT0=0, dial switch of module 2 set as CT2=CT1=0, CT0=1, and dial
switch of module 3 set as CT2= 0, CT=1 and CT0=0. Refer Table 3.2 in Page 44
Series connection is adopted among module CT signal interfaces. Please refer Fig 3.14 for connection
details.
CT_A_GND, CT_B_GND and CT_C_GND of module 1 are separately connected to CT_A, CT_B and
CT_C of module 2.
CT_A_GND, CT_B_GND and CT_C_GND of module 2 are connected to CT_A, CT_B and CT_C of
module 3,
tCT_A of module 1 connected to S1 of external TAa (used as phase-A CT), CT_A_GND of module 3
connected to S2 of external TAa.
The same rule applied to TAb (used as phase-B CT) and TAc (used as phase-C CT).
Fig 3.15 shows one of the user terminals. For actual wiring of cabinet system, the interfaces of external
TAa, Tab and TAc are connected to one side of user terminal row, the other side of user terminal row
connected to CT_A, CT_B and CT_C of module 1 and CT_A_GND, CT_B_GND and CT_C_GND of
module 3.
485+, 485-, EPO_A and GND_ISO of module 1 are connected in parallel with 485+, 485-, EPO_A and
GND_ISO of module 2.
485+, 485-, EPO_A and GND_ISO of module 2 are connected in parallel with 485+, 485-, EPO_A and
GND_ISO of module 3.
In the rack mounted cabinet system, two 120-Ohm resistances are required, one put between 485+ and
485- of the first module and the other between 485+ and 485- of the last module.
Here, when three modules are in parallel connection, operation needs to be done to module 1 and 3.
The monitoring and debugging of centralized monitor to the three modules in parallel can be realized
when communication interface of 7-inch monitor is connected to the monitoring interface of module 1.
The same principle can be applied to parallel operation for any multi module system as indicated in Fig
3.16. The above-mentioned multi-device combination can be applied to the following modules: EPCOS
25A AHF 43L/RE, EPCOS 25A AHF 44L/RE, EPCOS 35A AHF 43L/RE, EPCOS 35A AHF 44L/RE,

Fig 3.15 User terminal row

The electrical interconnection of any other module rating is similar to that of the example shown with
the EPCOS 050A AHF. Fig 3.16 shows signal interconnection of N modules in parallel. In system of
parallel modules installed in cabinet, the number of each module needs to be determined through
setting dial switch. Series connection is still adopted for CT signal among parallel connected modules.
Signal interfaces including 485+, 485-, EPO_A and GND_ISO among modules need to be connected
in parallel manner.
CT_A of module 1 is connected to S1 of external TAa (used as phase-A CT) meanwhile, CT_A_GND
of module N is connected to S2 of external TAa. And the same rule apply to Tab (used as phase-B CT)
and Tac (used as phase-C CT).
A single 7inch monitor display can control and supervise and debug a maximum of 8 modules
simultaneously, so if the system has a requirement for more than 8 modules, additional 7 inch display
needs to be considered.

3.5.3 Electrical interconnection of rack mounted modules of different capacity
Similar to wall mounted modules in parallel, EPCOS AHF also supports compensation of harmonic in
parallel through rack mounted modules with different capacity. Rack mounted modules of different
capacity levels are contained in cabinet, monitored by 7-inch screen, electrical interconnection between
the modules are illustrated in Fig 3.16, and the device number of all models determined by dial switch
on the back board of chassis Table 3.2. Series connection is adopted for CT signal interface among
modules Fig 3.10. Signal interfaces including 485+, 485-, EPO_A and GND_ISO between the modules
are connected in parallel manner. Refer to section 3.5.2 for detailed process of electrical
interconnection.
Fig 3.16 Signal interface connection of N modules in parallel

3.6 Installation of current transformer
As one of external components of AHF, current transformer (CT) plays a key role in the normal operation
of AHF, so the selection of external CT is extremely important. In 3-phase 3-wire system, two CTs are
required, each installed on phase A and phase C, while in 3-phase 4-wire system three CTs are required
and each installed on phase A, phase B and phase C.
In AHF module, the minimum allowable ratio of external CT is 150:5, maximum is 10000:5. Ratio
can be selected between the two levels in accordance with actual load current. When selecting CT ratio,
the actual magnitude of load current should be taken into consideration so as to obtain more accurate
compensation.
Generally, a CT primary side ratio selection of 1.5 times of the maximum current during operation is
mandatory, and an appropriate level of margin is recommended to ensure more accurate harmonic
suppression. CT primary side ratio of more than 4 times the system current is not recommended.
Suppose the maximum of load current detected is 1000A, the best selection of CT primary current ratio
is between 1500:5～2000:5. The accuracy of external CT should be better than level 0.2 for
connection at the supply side (closed loop system) or better than level 0.5 for CT connection at
the load side (open loop system). Lower degree of accuracy may affect the compensation accuracy.
The CT cable used below a length of 15m is RVVSP 2*2.5 mm2. and between 15m-30m is RVVSP
2*4 mm2. For distance above 30m, please contact EPCOS. It is recommended to use twisted pair cable
and do not install in parallel with power cable in order to avoid EMI (Electromagnetic Interference).
CT can be installed in open or closed loop configuration. Open loop CT is more convenient to install.
Closed loop CT can be installed when the customer is having a power shutdown or by using split core
CTs. When selecting CT, customer needs to note CT ratio must be within the range mentioned in the
paragraph above. Before starting the device, customer must confirm if the “CT Ratio” setup in the
interface of monitor is identical with actual CT ratio .
CT can be installed at load side (most recommended), or source side. Refer to the following information
for details.

3.6.1 CT installation at load side
As shown in Fig 3.17, the CT are installed at load side with reference to the point of installation AHF. In
3-phase 4-wire system, a total of 3 sets of CTs one in each of the phases is needed and in 3-phase 4-
wire system 2 sets of CTs one one is phase A and the second one phase C is only needed. The
installation direction of CT must be observed as in the figure and the phase order of detection signal
cannot be interchanged.
Isensed = Iload Igrid= Iload+ IAHF
Fig 3.17 Wiring of CT installed at load side

When large capacitance exists in the electrical installation, there are three options available for
installation of CT at load side, listed in Fig 3.18, Fig 3.19 and Fig 3.20. In Fig 3.18, the installation needs
2 groups of CTs (6CTs), each group connected in parallel. As shown in Fig 3.18, we obtain the load
current from the sum of currents collected by two CTs according to Kirchhoff's current law. There is an
extra group of CTs at the terminal of capacitance. The key intention behind using 2 sets of CTs is to
obtain load current. Please contact EPCOS in case any special instructions are needed.
Isensed = Igrid - IAHF- Icap Igrid = Iload + IAHF + Icap

Isensed = Iload Igrid = Iload + IAHF + Icap
Fig 3.19 Wiring of CT installed at load side with large capacitance
Isensed = Iload Igrid = Iload + IAHF + Icap
Fig 3.20 Wiring of CT installed at load side with large capacitance at source side

3.6.2 CT installation at source side
For a single module/ wall mounted units, one set of CTs can be installed in the source side and in the
HMI settings the user needs to input the CT location to ‘Supply’. This CT installation at the source side
is only possible if there is only one module/ wall mounted unit Fig 3.21.
Isensed = Igrid Igrid = Iload + IAHF
Fig 3.21 Wiring of CT installed at source side for one module/ wall mounted
If there is a multi-module cabinet, for the source side CT installation, the user need to connect an
additional CT ( exactly identical to the CT connected at the source side ) in the AHF Path. The details
for this connection is shown in the Fig 3.22.
If it is not convenient for user to install CT at load side, it is required to adopt an equivalent method to
collect load current. We know from Kirchhoff's current law that the current flowing into circuit node at
any moment is equivalent to the current flowing out of this node. So, the same effect can be achieved
when CT is installed at source side. When CT is installed at source side for multi module units, user at
least needs to use two sets of CTs (4CTs, in 3-phase 3-wire system & 6CTs, in 3-phase 4-wire system).
Two groups of CTs are installed on phase cable at source side and power cable at AHF side and are
connected in parallel. In this case with the help of 2 sets of CTs since we are calculating the effective
load current, in the settings you should enter the CT location as ‘load side’ even though the main CT is
physically on the grid side.
The direction of CT terminals is really important and it should be followed exactly as shown in
the following diagrams. In all the following installations with multiple CTs the direction of CTs
are marked in such a way that the effective feedback to the AHF is the sum of the multiple CTs
connected . For eg if there are 2 sets of CTs, one set in Grid side and one set in AHF path then
S1 CT1 +S1 CT2 must be connected to the respective phase of S1 AHF
S2 CT1 +S2 CT2 must be connected to the respective phase of S2 AHF
The same strategy should be followed for all installations with multiple sets of CTs, provided
the direction of CT installation shown in the respective figures is followed.

Isensed = Igrid- IAHF Igrid = Iload + IAHF
Fig 3.22 Wiring of CT installed at source side for multi-module

There are two options available for installation of CT at source side with large capacitance, shown in
Fig 3.23 and Fig 3.24. When CT is installed at source side, with large capacitance at load side, wiring
distribution of CT is listed in Fig 3.25.

3.6.3 CT installation under double bus power supply
As shown in Fig 3.26, four groups of CTs are used to detect current at different areas under double
bus power supply, two groups installed at both sides of load, connected in parallel. The following Fig
3.26 applies for AHF in which each of the AHF is single modules.
For CT installation under double bus power supply with multi modules, please refer Fig 3.27.

Fig 3.27 Wiring of CT under double bus power supply for multi AHF modules
NOTE:
1. If multi-group CTs in parallel CTs (more than one group) are required, it
must be ensured all CTs are identical.
CAUTION 2. When external CT is installed to detect load current, if multi-group CTs are
required, their interfaces should be connected in parallel manner.
The CT wiring between the parallel connected rack mounted/ wall mounted
units must be connected in either series or parallel. However we recommend
to connect CT wiring between the parallel connected modules to be
completed in series as shown in Fig 3.16

4 System Operation
4.1 Monitoring and debugging of Wall mounted (4.3 inch)
units
4.1.1 4.3-inch LCD screen
The 4.3-inch screen at the front board of LCD models allows it to display information about voltage and
current on a real-time basis. It’s convenient to check the power state and to set the parameters of the
machine. This chapter mainly introduces the information and all parameters displayed by LCD, and the
operation and control through LCD man-machine interface.
LCD module has friendly operation interface and provides 4.3-inch colorful graphic display. User can
carry out all operating commands by means of clicking on the display interface, conveniently browsing
relevant parameter and waveform of grid side, output side and load side, and timely obtaining the
current status and alarm information of AHF. Inquiry of history alarm information is also available,
providing reliable evidence for troubleshooting. LCD can also display version information about system-
controlled software and internal monitoring software.
LCD display interface includes “power on”, “main”, “parameter setting”, “monitor parameter” and
“record”. After connection to power supply, AHF enters the startup interface first.
Fig 4.1 Main Interface after AHF Power On
After “Power ON”, you’ll enter the main interface (interface of AHF already in normal operation with
output compensation current). As shown in Fig 4.1, the main interface displays the THD and RMS of all
phases at grid side and load side. Besides, it also contains buttons “Data”, “Settings”, “Record”,
“Power On” and “Power Off”.

Remark: AHF has three main functions: harmonic compensation (H), reactive compensation (Q) and
three-phase imbalance compensation (B). However, EPCOS AHF provides different “Operation
Modes”: Harmonics Comp; H+Q; H+Q+B; Auto-ageing (not applicable to customer, only used before
AHF leaving factory); H+B+Q; H+B; Q+H; Q+H+B; Q+B+H; B+H; B+H+Q; B+Q+H; Constant Q. The
sequence of operation modes when selecting the combination of more than one operation modes
should be according to the priority of compensation.
Different function combinations represent different significances and have different priorities, e.g. the
combination of H+Q+B means preferential compensation of harmonic, then reactive power, and three-
phase imbalance; H+B+Q means preferential compensation of harmonic, then three-phase imbalance,
and reactive power; mode 0 means sole compensation of harmonic, Q+H means preferential
compensation of reactive power, and then harmonic compensation.

4.2. System operation of wall mounted (LCD modules) in

parallel
The wall mounted module is also referred to as LCD modules as it has a 4.3 build in LCD monitor, which
is used to monitor, debug and display the operating status. When several modules are in parallel, the
“Total Capacity”, in the “System Parameter” interface of the monitor of each module, should be set
as the sum of capacity of all modules (When single LCD module compensates harmonic, the “Total
Capacity” should be set as the module’s own capacity).
Suppose that two EPCOS 50A AHF LCD modules are operating in parallel, the dial switch of each
device is set as 0 (0 represents device No. 1), namely CT2=CT1=CT0=0. As the rated capacity of each
module is 50A, the combination of two modules can compensate harmonic current of 100A at most.
The LCD monitor of each module only monitors the operating status of local device. In the “System
Parameter” interface, the parameter “Quantity” of each monitor is set as 1, and “Total Capacity” set
as 100A. The “Comp. Rate” of each monitor is set as 1 by default, namely full compensation of
harmonic currents. When user wants to compensate a specific sub-harmonic, the compensate rate of
the sub-harmonic is set as 100 in the “Harmonic Comp. Setup” interface; it means 100% compensation
for the sub-harmonic. “CT Ratio” of each monitor must be identical with the ratio of actual external CT,
and “CT location” should be set as “Supply side” or “Load side” according to actual installation
location (Load side is first recommended. Besides, only load side is supported when modules are in
parallel for Grid side CT installation, we need to have additional set of CTs in each wallmounted AHF
path). The corresponding setup of the two modules should be the same in terms of “Operation Mode”
and “Comp. mode”. The same rule is applied when three, four or more modules are working in parallel.
When two modules of different capacity levels are in parallel, say EPCOS 25A LCD module and EPCOS
50A LCD module, both dial switches are still set as 0, CT0=CT1=CT2=0. What should be noted is that
the “Total Capacity” of both EPCOS 25A LCD module and EPCOS 50A LCD module should be set as
75A, other parameter settings is the same as that when two modules of the same capacity are in
parallel.
To summarize, we make a conclusion of the parameter required to start LCD modules:
➢ Operation Mode (refer to section 4.1.3)
➢ Power ON Mode
➢ CT location (load side or supply side)
➢ Quantity (1 by default, user not allowed to change it if the unit is a wall mounted model)
➢ Total Capacity
➢ Comp. mode (Intelligent mode, Sequential mode and All mode)
➢ CT Ratio
➢ Comp. Rate

4.3 System operation of rack mounted modules in parallel

Rack mounted modules model can be operated on the basis of single module, or in parallel to
compensate harmonic. Compared to wall mounted unit, rack mounted modules module doesn’t contain
monitor. 7-inch LCD centralized monitor is adopted for its monitoring and debugging. As shown in Fig
4.35, rack mounted modules adopts 7-inch centralized monitor, which is connected with the monitoring
interface of one of the modules through communication cable. Different numbers have different
meanings in Fig 4.37 and user may refer to Table 4.5. The monitoring and debugging of rack mounted
modules in parallel is different from that of wall mounted modules in parallel.]
Suppose that three LED modules of 50A are operating in parallel, number the devices as 1, 2 and
3 according to their installation order in the cabinet, that is to set their dial switches as
CT2=CT1=CT0=0; CT2=CT1=0, CT0=1; CT2=CT0=0,CT1=1. As the rated capacity of each module is
50A, the combination of three modules can compensate harmonic of 150A at most. In the interface of
“System Parameter Setup”, “Slave Module Quantity” is set as 3, and “Total Capacity” set as 150A.
The “Comp. Rate” of 7-inch centralized monitor is set as 1 by default, namely full compensation of
detected harmonic current. User can also compensate a specific sub-harmonic ranged between “2nd
and 50th”. “CT Ratio” must be identical with the actual ratio of external CT, and “CT Location” should
be set as “Load side” or “Supply side” according to actual installation location.
The centralized monitor can display the operating status of parallel system, as well as the operating
status of each separate module. Clicking the drop-down menu of “system” in the “Real-time Info”
interface, user may select “module 1”, “module 2”or “module 3”. If it displays “system” option, the
“Comp. Current” displayed in the “Real-time Info” interface is the total output current by system. If you
select “module 1”, the “Comp. Current” displayed in the “Real-time Info” interface is the output current
of module 1. Similarly, you may check the compensation current output by “module 2” and “module 3”.
When a single cabinet system cannot satisfy the capacity of harmonic, several cabinet systems
can be combined to compensate harmonic. The power interfaces among cabinets should be connected
in parallel, with CT interfaces among cabinets connected in series. In the interface of “System
Parameter Setup”, “Slave Module Quantity” is set as the number of modules monitored by the 7-inch
LCD centralized monitor, and “Total Capacity” set as the sum of the capacity of all modules.
One additional point which should be noted is that a single 7 inch HMI can only monitor and control a
maximum of 8 modules. For a AHF system with multiple cabinets and module more that 8 modules,
additional 7 inch HMI needs to be installed accordingly.
To summarize, we make a conclusion of the parameter required to start LED modules:
➢ Operation Mode
➢ Power ON Mode
➢ CT Location (load side or supply side)
➢ Slave Module Quantity (set as 1 for single module operation, set as the total number of
modules in parallel operation)
➢ Total Capacity
➢ Comp. mode (Intelligent mode, Sequential mode and All mode)
➢ CT Ratio
➢ Comp. Rate. Remark: 7-inch LCD centralized monitor is used with rack mounted units,
which has 12 “Operation Modes” in the interface of “Settings” (mode 3 not applicable
to user), similar to 4.3-inch LCD monitor.

4.5 Power ON/OFF

4.5.1 Confirmation before power on
To ensure the personal safety of operator and user at site, successful startup and compensation effect
of EPCOS AHF, the following requirements must be met before startup.
1. PE terminal of AHF must be earthed reliably.
2. Protective breaker must be installed at the side of inlet wire. Refer to section 7.2 for selection of the
capacity of breaker.
3. Keep the air duct unblocked and do not block or cover the inlet/out vent.
4. The order of phase A/B/C/N must be correct when power cable is installed (for 3-phase 3-wire
system, it is not required to install phase N power cable) refer section 7.2 for selection of diameter of
power cable and PE cable.
5. Ensure CT location and installation method are correct. The S1 and S2 of each group of CTs must
be connected in parallel especially when there are a number groups of CT. refer to section 3.6. All CTs
must be identical.
6. Under the “interface of system setup” interface of 7-inch monitor (If it is 4.3-inch screen, check
interface of system parameter), CT location setup and CT ratio setup must be identical with actual CT
location and CT Ratio. Besides, the setup of “total capacity” must be correct. For parallel operation, the
total capacity is the sum of capacities of all single modules and for single module operation, it is the
rated capacity of the particular module.
4.5.2 Steps for power on/off
• Steps for power on
EPCOS AHF must be turned on after the installation is completed successfully, followed by the
verification of EPCOS product engineer and then external power switch is closed.
Steps of power on are applicable when the system is completely out of power.
The specific steps are as follows
During the power-on process, AHF output terminal is electrified.
User needs to make sure whether it is safe to supply power to the load if it is
connected to AHF output terminal. If the load is not ready to receive power, it must
be separated from AHF output terminal.

1. Close the isolating switch between power grid and AHF.

2. Close the breaker in cabinet. The monitoring screen will display the startup interface. If the green
indicator light is flashing, it indicates normal electrification of AHF. If there is something wrong with AHF,
the red alarm indicator will be on and the green operating indicator will be off, and AHF cannot be
started.cu
3. Send “power on” command. After the system is successfully electrified, if the status has been
previously changed as “auto power on”, when power on conditions are met, the system will
automatically send “power on” command and start up. If the status has been changed as “manual power
on”, after a while of electrification (voltage buildup needs some time after electrification), user may send
“power on” command to start the system by clicking the “power on” button in the Power ON/OFF
interface in the monitoring screen.
• Steps for power off
To prevent personal injury, if maintenance or cabinet opening is needed after power
off, a multimeter is required to measure the voltage at input terminals so as to make
sure no grid power is connected! Operation should be done more than 10 minutes
after power off when the internal DC busbar capacitance is discharged!
There are two options for power off.
1. Turn off the isolating switch between AHF and power grid. This option completely shuts down
the device and de-energizes the system after the bus bar capacitance is fully discharged，
which ensures safety for troubleshooting and maintenance.
2. 2. Enter the LCD Power ON/OFF interface, click the “power off” button, send power-off
command, and the system will be turned off. This option only shuts down the operation of
power components in the system, and system busbar and auxiliary power supply are still
energized, with relevant control unit standby. Maintenance or cabinet opening is not allowed
under this mode.
• Auto power on
EPCOS AHF will be automatically shut down and stop outputting compensation current upon grid power
failure or abnormal grid voltage and frequency. When the following conditions are met, AHF will
automatically restart and restore the output.
1. Power grid restores.
2. Auto power on function already set
3. Auto power on delayed (default setting: 10s).
If no auto power-on function is set in EPCOS AHF, user needs to manually start AHF through the
monitoring screen.
• Emergency shut down
When AHF is abnormal, press the “EPO” (Emergency Power Off) button on the monitoring module
panel to shut down all modules. Disconnect the isolating switch between AHF and power grid if
necessary. You need to restart the device after pressing EPO button. Apart from pushing up the EPO
button, you need to enter the “Power On/Off” interface and press the “Clear Fault” button, clicking the
“Power On” button to start it after the alarm stops.

5 Maintenance and Preservation

5.1 Precautions
EPCOS AHF adopts modular design. As to daily maintenance, user only needs to check whether the
display data on the LCD screen is correct. If possible, user can use infrared thermo detector to check
whether there are some exceptional high temperature points in the machine. User should turn off the
power and contact the EPCOS product engineer if any abnormalities are found.
EPCOS AHF is a strong-current product. To ensure the safety of the maintenance staff, no one is
allowed to touch any live part of the device when it is working. The earth point should be regularly
checked to see if the connection is solid.
5.2 General maintenance

Because EPCOS AHF has implemented air channel isolation, air filter is not required in ordinary usage
environments. But in adverse environments, such as high temperature, high humidity, or environments
with heavy conductive dust, user should contact EPCOS product engineer in advance to determine the
specific planning of project before installation and electrical connection.
The maintenance schedule depends on the operation and ambient conditions and is valid for the
following typical conditions:
• Devices mounted in clear environment without dust in the air or in a cabinet with air inlet
filter
• Ambient temperature approx. 25 °C
• Symmetrical load in steady state operation
• Typical device output 60%
• One power off/on per month
In other cases the maintenance interval has to be adapted. Please ask the service department for
specific support and for the service and maintenance documents.

5.3 Troubleshooting
User can refer to Table 5.1 for failure solutions. Some failures or warnings can be found out and solved
at site by user, and some other faults require user to contact EPCOS product engineer.
Common faults resulting from user’s wrong usage:
a) CT wire is reversely connected
b) Phase sequence of power cable is reversely connected, or
c) Parameter setting is incorrect.
These faults can be identified by user upon his careful observation of the data in the interface of monitor.
If the compensation effect is poor and there are no warnings, contact EPCOS product engineer.
If the LCD screen displays alarm information try to to identify and slove the fault using the trouble
shooting guide given in Table 5.2 and if it is still unsolved ,contact EPCOS product engineer.
If the device has no response upon power-up, contact EPCOS product engineer.
Note: For your personal safety, whatever failure the device encounters, you should not
disassemble it without permission from EPCOS. We are not obliged to fix products with torn or
damaged tags.

7 Appendix
7.1 Introduction of Modbus Protocol
Due to the large number and great intensity of interference sources during electric power
communication, RS485 is more reliable and stable than RS232 communication. While in RS485,
Modbus protocol communication only needs to use RX and TX of serial port. Thus, Modbus RTU is
adopted for transmission.
EPCOS AHF supports Modbus protocol. EPCOS AHF contains RS485 communication interface
and can be connected to external USB or serial port via 485/USB converter or 485/232 converter. For
wall mounted unit with 4.3 inch display, it needs to be connected to external USB interface or serial port
via signal interfaces 485P+ and 485P- behind the chassis, as shown in Fig 7.1 and Fig 7.2. For LED
model, it needs to be connected to external USB interface or serial port via signal interfaces 485+ and
485- of centralized monitoring modules, as shown in Fig 7.3 and Fig 7.4. Modbus bus can be applied
to the collection and process monitoring of all kinds of data via Modbus protocol, user can collect and
check voltage information, current information, power information, harmonic analysis, IO status and
temperature information, and collect the alarm information of AHF.
Remark: user needs to contact EPCOS product engineer if MODBUS protocol is required.

Important notes
The following applies to all products named in this publication:

1. Some parts of this publication contain statements about the suitability of our products for
certain areas of application. These statements are based on our knowledge of typical
requirements that are often placed on our products in the areas of application concerned. We
nevertheless expressly point out that such statements cannot be regarded as binding
statements about the suitability of our products for a particular customer application. As a
rule we are either unfamiliar with individual customer applications or less familiar with them than the
customers themselves. For these reasons, it is always ultimately incumbent on the customer to
check and decide whether a product with the properties described in the product specification is
suitable for use in a particular customer application.
2. We also point out that in individual cases, a malfunction of electronic components or failure
before the end of their usual service life cannot be completely ruled out in the current state
of the art, even if they are operated as specified. In customer applications requiring a very high
level of operational safety and especially in customer applications in which the malfunction or failure
of an electronic component could endanger human life or health (e.g. in accident prevention or life-
saving systems), it must therefore be ensured by means of suitable design of the customer
application or other action taken by the customer (e.g. installation of protective circuitry or
redundancy) that no injury or damage is sustained by third parties in the event of malfunction or
failure of an electronic component.
3. The warnings, cautions and product-specific notes must be observed.
4. In order to satisfy certain technical requirements, some of the products described in this
publication may contain substances subject to restrictions in certain jurisdictions (e.g.
because they are classed as hazardous). Useful information on this will be found in our Material
Data Sheets on the Internet (www.tdk-electronics.tdk.com/material). Should you have any more
detailed questions, please contact our sales offices.
5. We constantly strive to improve our products. Consequently, the products described in this
publication may change from time to time. The same is true of the corresponding product
specifications. Please check therefore to what extent product descriptions and specifications
contained in this publication are still applicable before or when you place an order.
We also reserve the right to discontinue production and delivery of products. Consequently,
we cannot guarantee that all products named in this publication will always be available.
The aforementioned does not apply in the case of individual agreements deviating from the
foregoing for customer-specific products.
6. Unless otherwise agreed in individual contracts, all orders are subject to our General Terms and
Conditions of Supply.
7. Our manufacturing sites serving the automotive business apply the IATF 16949 standard.
The IATF certifications confirm our compliance with requirements regarding the quality
management system in the automotive industry. Referring to customer requirements and customer
specific requirements (“CSR”) TDK always has and will continue to have the policy of respecting
individual agreements. Even if IATF 16949 may appear to support the acceptance of unilateral
requirements, we hereby like to emphasize that only requirements mutually agreed upon can
and will be implemented in our Quality Management System. For clarification purposes we like
to point out that obligations from IATF 16949 shall only become legally binding if individually agreed
upon.
