Matrix E-Series ® 380V – 480V TECHNICAL REFERENCE MANUAL High Voltage! Only a qualified electrician can carry out the electrical installation of this filter. WARNING ❶ Quick Reference ❷ Pages 5 - 10 Performance Data ❸ Selection Guide Pages 11 - 14 ❹...
Caution Product Safety Labeling The following labels are placed on the Matrix E-Series 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.
The filter must be grounded with a grounding conductor connected to all grounding terminals. Only spare parts obtained from MTE Corporation or an authorized MTE distributor can be used. After removing power, allow at least five minutes to elapse and verify that the capacitors have discharged to a safe level before contacting internal components.
Receipt & Repair Statement Upon Receipt of this Filter: The Matrix E-Series Harmonic Filter has been subjected to demanding factory tests before shipment. Carefully inspect the shipping container for damage that may have occurred in transit. Then unpack the filter and carefully inspect for any signs of damage. Save the shipping container for future transport of the filter.

Voltage Distortion [%] Figure 3-4: Voltage Distortion Derating Curve This plot assists in proper de-rating of a Matrix E-Series harmonic filter in environments with a preexisting voltage distortion. Example: In a system with 10% voltage distortion, a Matrix filter will need to be oversized by 5.5% to obtain the same performance as an appropriate filter in a 0% distortion environment.

Additional wiring between the reactor and capacitor is required by the customer. Open panel Matrix E-Series filters are designed for mounting within the customer’s enclosure. When determining the internal temperature rise and cooling requirements of the enclosure, include the power dissipation of the filter along with all the other components located in the enclosure.
Inductive Loads 12 VDC Resistive Loads 24 VDC Resistive Loads MTE highly recommends the use of the overtemperature switch to prevent damage to the filter in rare instances of overheating from abnormal operating conditions. Form: MAE-TRM-E September 2020 REV. 001...
Matrix ® E-Series Technical Reference Manual 380V – 480V Power Wiring Connection Input and output power wiring to the filter should be performed by authorized personnel in accordance with the NEC and all local electrical codes and regulations. Cable lugs and mounting hardware are provided by the customer. WARNING Any extremely low or high resistance readings indicate miswiring and may result in damage to filter components if not corrected.
CAP-360TP (4) Note: To prevent flexing or bending of the coil windings attached to the flat copper terminal tabs on the Matrix E-Series reactor, use two wrenches to tighten customer provided cable mounting hardware. Form: MAE-TRM-E September 2020 REV. 001...
Flat copper tab CAP-340TP Note: To prevent flexing or bending of the coil windings attached to the flat copper terminal tabs on the Matrix E-Series reactor, use two wrenches to tighten customer provided cable mounting hardware. Form: MAE-TRM-E September 2020 REV. 001...
Matrix ® E-Series Technical Reference Manual 380V – 480V 6. START-UP Safety Precautions Before start-up, 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.
Matrix ® E-Series Technical Reference Manual 380V – 480V 7. TROUBLESHOOTING 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. Servicing should therefore be performed by qualified personnel only and in accordance with OSHA Regulations.
Matrix ® E-Series Technical Reference Manual 380V – 480V Harmonic Filter Field Checks 1. Disconnect all power and remove input power wiring from U1, V1, and W1 terminals. 2. Remove VFD drive power connections from filter terminals U2, V2, and W2 as well as any control wiring to the filter contactor or temperature switch.
