The ventilation grille at the top must not be blocked, leaving enough space to the ceiling to allow the heat to dissipate.

    STOP mode 3.4.- INSTALLATION 3�4�1�- 30 A AFQevo The AFQevo of 30A has a number of holes on the top and bottom of the device, Figure 4, facilitate transport and installation of the device. These holes can be used as attachment points for external manipulation tools, or a bar (not included) can be passed through them to improve transport and installation of the device.

    AFQevo 3�4�3�- 100 A AND 200 A AFQevo CABINET-TYPE: AFQe-xxx-100C AND AFQe-xxx-200C The 100 A (AFQe-xxx-100C) and 200 A (AFQe-xxx-200C) models of the AFQevo are free-standing cabinets with 4 bearing supports on the floor. The mounting surface must be solid, support the device’s weight and be level. The cabinet must never be welded to the floor using arc welding, as this may destroy the electronic components.

  • Page 19: 3�5�- Connection

    The recommended minimum cross-sections are: AFQe-xxx-100C : 35 mm AFQe-xxx-200C : 70 mm Ensure that the AFQevo is earthed correctly to prevent the risk of electric shock. To measure the current, class 0�2S transformers of the TC or TCH series are recommended.
  • Page 20 AFQevo If local regulations require the use of earth leakage protection devices, only DC sensitive RCD (RCD type B) should be used with AFQevo. Active filters work internally with DC currents, and, in case of failure, the DC currents may produce malfunction on type A RCD devices.

    AFQevo 3.8.- PARALLEL CONNECTION OF 2 TO 100 ACTIVE FILTERS The AFQevo 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 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.

    AFQevo 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 main. 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 39: 4�1�3�- Harmonic Compensation

    AFQevo 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 AFQ-EVO CARGAS / LOADS RED / MAIN Figure 31:General connection diagram of an active filter.

  • Page 40: 4�3�- Nominal Current Dimensions

    Figure 32:Current in the load, in the filter and in the main. 4.3.- NOMINAL CURRENT DIMENSIONS The purchased active filter must be sized for the harmonic currents it has to filter. The nominal current of the AFQevo 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 42: 4�4�- Resonance Detection

    In certain cases, there may be a load that provides less impedance than the main, in which case a resonance phenomenon will be produced with that load. The AFQevo has a detection system for resonance with loads, which automatically deactivates the harmonic that causes that resonance.
