Caution Product Safety Labeling The following labels are placed on the dV Sentry product: Label notes to installer to refer to instruction manual first before installing. High Voltage: surfaces on product can have high voltage which can cause injury.
Modular filters must have reactor grounded through a 2”x2” area cleaned of paint and varnish on lower mounting bracket. Only spare parts obtained from MTE Corporation or an authorized MTE distributor can be used. Loose or improperly secured connections may damage or degrade filter performance.
Sentry Installation Guide 208V – 600V 3. INTRODUCTION The purpose of the manual is to aid in the proper installation of the dV Sentry. For most current product information, including technical reference manual, please refer to website: www.mtecorp.com/dv-sentry/ This manual is intended for use by personnel experienced in the operation and maintenance of drives.
The filter is designed for use with copper conductors with a minimum temperature rating of 75 degrees C. WARNING dV Sentry Filters are supplied in the following mechanical configurations: • Panel assemblies (3A-110A): Reactor and resistor are assembled on a panel and pre-wired together.
Also be aware of minimum electrical clearances as defined by the appropriate system safety standard(s). Panel mounted dV Sentry Filters generate heat and should be positioned away from heat sensitive components. Ensure that proper panel orientation is maintained.
12 VDC Resistive Loads 24 VDC Resistive Loads MTE highly recommends the use of the over temperature switch to prevent damage to the filter in rare instances of overheating from abnormal operating conditions Form: DVS-IG-E January 2018 REV. 003 mtecorp.com...
For all filters supplied in general purpose NEMA 1/2 & 3R cabinets, interconnection between the filter, its power source, and the drive is shown in Figure 4-3 (p12). Wire gauge range and terminal torque requirements for the dV Sentry and the resistor panel are shown in Table 4-2 (p13).
RESPANEL-014 350kcmil(2x) Note: To prevent flexing or bending of the coil windings attached to dV Sentry filter, use appropriate strain relief to prevent stress on terminals. For flat copper terminal tabs, use two wrenches to tighten customer provided cable mounting hardware.
Sentry Installation Guide 208V – 600V 5. START UP Startup Checklist Safety Precautions Before startup, observe the following warnings and instructions: Internal components of the filter are at line potential when the filter is connected to the drive. This voltage is extremely dangerous and may cause death or severe injury if you come in contact with it.
Sentry Installation Guide 208V – 600V 6. TROUBLESHOOTING INJURY OR DEATH MAY RESULT IF THE DRIVE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ARE NOT OBSERVED. When properly installed, this equipment has been designed to provide maximum safety for operating personnel. However, hazardous voltages and elevated temperatures exist within the confines of the enclosure.
Multiple motor applications create complex loading and resonances with Possible cause: dV Sentry filter. Use only one dV Sentry filter per drive for a single motor. For multiple Solution: line applications, use a sine wave filter. Form: DVS-IG-E January 2018 REV. 003...
