    Perform an external and internal visual inspection of the device prior to connecting it. If any problem is noticed upon reception, immediately contact the transport company and/or CIRCUTOR's after-sales service. 1.2.- TRANSPORT AND HANDLING The transport, loading and unloading and handling of the device must be car- ried out with proper precautions and using the proper manual and mechanical tools so as not to damage it.
  • Page 8 AFQm The centre of gravity of some devices may be found at a considerable height. Therefore, when handling with a forklift, it is recommended that the device be securely fastened and that no abrupt manoeuvres made. The device should not be lifted more than 20 cm off the ground When unloading and moving the device, use a forklift with forks long enough to support the en- tire length of the base.

    AFQm 3�- DEVICE INSTALLATION 3.1.- PRELIMINARY RECOMMENDATIONS The device installation and the maintenance operations must only be car- ried out by authorised and qualified personnel. In order to use the device 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 (rubber gloves, face protection and approved flame-resistant clothing) to prevent injuries due to electric shock or...

  • Page 14: 3�2�- Installation Location

    AFQm 3.2.- INSTALLATION LOCATION The device must be installed in an environment where the temperature outside the cabinet is between -10ºC and 45ºC, with a maximum humidity of 95% without condensation. Do not install the device close to a hot spot and keep it out of direct sunlight. Install the AFQm in a place protected from water, dust, flammable liquids, gases and corrosive substances.
  • Page 15 AFQm It should be noted that, depending on the installation conditions in the cabinet and in the room where this is placed, the outflows of hot air may be sucked back in by the device’s fans, causing a feedback of hot air that will lower the performance of the device. It is also necessary to bear in mind the power dissipated by the device when choosing where to install it, to ensure proper air recirculation, to make sure that the intake air is a suitable temper- ature.

  • Page 16: 3�3�- Storage For Long Periods

    AFQm 3.3.- STORAGE FOR LONG PERIODS If the device is not installed after receipt, the following recommendations must be observed to keep the device in a good state: Keep the device in a dry atmosphere and at a temperature of between -20ºC and 50ºC. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight.

(U is the rack unit, 1U = 4.445 cm) You can install more than one AFQm in a single cabinet.

  • Page 19: 3�5�- Connection

    AFQm 3.5.- CONNECTION Wall and Rack type AFQm models: Use cables of a cross-section suitable for the rated current of the filter and that comply with the standards of the country in which they are being installed. The earth conductor must have at least the same cross-section as the phase conductors. If the phase conductors exceed 16 mm , the earth conductor will be at least 16 mm .
  • Page 20 AFQm The AFQm devices have built-in fuse overcurrent protection. Install external protection according to the type of installation, the facility’s maxi- mum short-circuit current, the maximum fuse current, and the regulations in force at the place of installation. If local regulations require the use of earth leakage protection devices, only DC sensitive RCD (RCD type B) should be used with AFQm. Active filters work in- ternally with DC currents, and, in case of failure, the DC currents may produce malfunction on type A RCD devices.

    AFQm 3.8.- PARALLEL CONNECTION OF 2 TO 100 ACTIVE FILTERS The AFQm devices can be arranged in parallel to increase the available filtering power. Up to 100 devices can be arranged in parallel, either of the 30A, 60A or 100A models. In the case of installations with devices in parallel, a device must be defined as the “master”, while all others will have “slave” devices functions. The “master” will be responsible for measuring the network parameters, so only the current transformers will be connected to it.

    AFQm 4�- OPERATION 4.1.- HARMONICS Non-linear loads such as: rectifiers, inverters, variable speed drives, ovens, etc., absorb peri- odic non sine-wave currents from the mains. 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.

  • Page 38: 4�1�3�- Harmonic Compensation

    AFQm 4�1�3�- HARMONIC COMPENSATION Active filters are devices 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 31 AFQm CARGAS / LOADS RED / MAIN Figure 31:General connection diagram of an active filter. 4.2.- OPERATING PRINCIPLE Active filters are based on the following principle: FILTER...

  • Page 39: 4�3�- Rated Current Dimensions

    AFQm Figure 32:Current in the load, in the filter and in the mains. 4.3.- RATED CURRENT DIMENSIONS The purchased active filter must be sized for the harmonic currents it has to filter. The rated current of the AFQm 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%.

  • Page 41: 4�4�- Resonance Detection

    AFQm 4.4.- RESONANCE DETECTION The AFQm acts as a current, frequency and variable amplitude generator. This current circu- lates via the path of least impedance, which should be the mains. In certain cases, there may be a load that provides less impedance than the mains, in which case a resonance phenomenon will be produced with that load.

    AFQm ● Min current The minimum load current to start the active filter is configured with this parameter. Minimum current feature is used to increase the system efficiency, by stopping the filter when required. The AFQm will stop when the load current is below the entered value and will start when it is higher. Range of values: Minimum value: 0 A Maximum value: 5000 A ● Current limit This parameter allows the maximum power of the active filter to be limited. The value is config- ured as a percentage with respect to the device's rated power.
  • Page 67 AFQm ● Num transformers The number of transformers that will be installed is configured with this parameter, the options are:  2� This option can only be used on the 3-wire model, AFQm-3WF-xxxx  3� With the option of 2 transformers, you should install a transformer measuring the L1 phase and another measuring the L2 phase. The L3 phase is left without a measuring transformer.
