Page 8: Pre-Installation Planning
Pre-installation Planning Verify the Application HGP Ratings Make sure that the HGP filter is correct for the application. The voltage ratings of the filter must match the input voltage rating of the connected drive. The horsepower and current ratings of the filter must be appropriate for the connected load. -
Page 9: Installation Guidelines
Installation Guidelines Mounting The HGP must be mounted vertically on a smooth, solid surface, free from heat, dampness, and condensation. Wiring Cable Entry Locations The enclosed HGP filters are not provided with enclosure wiring knockouts. A location can be selected at the time of installation. -
Page 10: Hgp Filter Operation
HGP Filter Operation Thoroughly check the installation before applying power and operating Caution the equipment for the first time. Before Applying Power for the First Time Inspect the installation to make sure that all equipment has been completely and correctly installed in accordance with the Installation Guidelines section of this manual. -
Page 11: Installation
Installation Intended Audience This manual is intended for use by all personnel responsible for the installation, operation and maintenance of the HGP filters. Such personnel are expected to have knowledge of electrical wiring practices, electronic components and electrical schematic symbols. Additional Information This manual provides general information describing your HGP filter. -
Page 12: Maintenance And Service
Maintenance and Service HGP Filter Reliability and Service Life The HGP has been designed to provide a service life that equals or exceeds the life of the VFD. It has been thoroughly tested at the factory to assure that it will perform reliably from the time it is put into service. - Page 13 Replacement Parts If replacement parts are needed, please contact your TCI representative. To ensure that the HGP filter continues to perform to its original specifications, replacement parts should conform to TCI specifications. Factory Contacts and Tech Support For technical support, contact your local TCI distributor or sales representative.

Page 14: Product Description
Product Description HGP Drive-Applied Filter The HGP is a drive-applied harmonic filter designed and developed by TCI to reduce the harmonic currents drawn from the power source by VFDs. It is suitable for use with 3-phase diode bridge rectifier loads such as PWM AC drives. SCR or thyristor loads such as DC drives would require a different filter configuration outside the scope of this product offering. - Page 15 Part Number Encoding Figure identifies the significance of each character in the HGP part number. The example part number, HGP0150AW1S0000 designates an HGP filter that is rated 150 HP, 480 volts, 60 Hz. It includes a line reactor, tuning reactor, and capacitors in a UL Type 1 enclosure. It is designed for use with a 150 HP drive.

When properly designed, assembled, and installed, the completed product is intended to be suitable for use with 3-phase diode bridge rectifier loads such as PWM AC VFDs. -
Page 22: Line Reactor Installation
Refer to NEC wiring practices for appropriate wire sizes for your application. TCI recommends that these reactors be wired and located as close to the front end of the VFD as possible to have the greatest success in both protecting the VFD as well as mitigating line harmonics. We recommend this be 10 feet of cable or less. -
Page 23: Typical Voltage Distortion Option (0)
Typical Voltage Distortion Option (0) The Typical Voltage Distortion Option, intended for applications with levels of background voltage distortion less than 2%, is a configuration that enables the HGP filter to achieve lower levels of current harmonic distortion in applications with low background voltage distortion. This performance option is available in all of the package options. -
Page 24: High Voltage Distortion Option (1)
High Voltage Distortion Option (1) The High Voltage Distortion Option, intended for applications with levels of background voltage distortion of 2% or higher, is a configuration that enables the HGP filter to achieve lower levels of current harmonic distortion in applications with high background voltage distortion. This performance option is available in all of the package options.
