Ecosine max 6 Performance estimation using SchaffnerPQS Ecosine max passive harmonic filters are included and can thus be simulated with the Schaffner Power Quality Simulator SchaffnerPQS (pqs.schaffner.com). By using SchaffnerPQS, users can easily simulate and estimate system performance taking into ac- count the most important design requirements and system’s boundary conditions.
Schaffner Group User and Installation Manual Ecosine max 7 Filter application Ecosine max passive harmonic filters are designed to mitigate harmonic current of non-linear loads, particularly of three-phase diode-type rectifiers. Contrary to “bus-applied or PCC (Point of Common Coupling)” filters, which are being installed e.g. at the main feeder, ecosine passive harmonic filters are specifically designed to be used with either an individual non-linear load, or with a group of non- linear loads.

Schaffner Group User and Installation Manual Ecosine max 9 Filter maintenance Ecosine max passive harmonic filters described in this manual are equipped with long life components that ensure a satisfactory function for many years under normal operating conditions. Any operation under extreme conditions such as over-temperatures, overvoltage situations, polluted environments etc.
Therefore, Schaffner recommends checking and tighten all electrical connections when a regular scheduled maintenance of the entire device that incorporates the filter is ongoing. Check of internal connections within the filters is not needed or should be conducted by a Schaffner service representative.
Schaffner Group User and Installation Manual Ecosine max 10 Trap circuit disconnect The trap disconnect jumper is an option allowing to connect a third party switch and, when required, to add a capacitor contactor in series for the purpose of reducing the capacitive current during low load operation.
