Prophi ® Section 2 Installation and connection of the controller The controller is designed to be incorporated into the front panel of a PFC-cabinet. It requires a switchboard section of 138 x 138 mm to DIN 43700/ IEC 61554. The controller is inserted from the front and is attached by means of the appended clamps.

Prophi ® 2.1 Current measurement When installing the current converter, care should be taken to ensure that the load current flows through it. The outputs of the compensation network must be installed behind the current converter (in the direction of current flow). If the device is connected up via sum-current converters, the overall conversion ratio is entered.

Prophi ® Section 9 Control principle The control response of the Prophi-6R can be selected in programming mode. In principle, the controller has four different control modes: 1. Sequential connection In sequential connection, the required capacitor stages are successively connected and disconnected in stages (last in - first out).

Prophi ® Section 10 Interface (not applicable) Section 11 Initial operation The controller must have been installed before being set up and operated. All network-specific parameters are fully programmed as described in section 5 (Programming) by being entered in sequence and stored. The controller is then set to automatic operation with the operating mode key.
