  • Page 15: 3�2�- Installation Location

    AFQm 3�2�- INSTALLATION LOCATION The device must be installed in an environment where the temperature outside the cabinet is between -10ºC and 45ºC, with a maximum humidity of 95% without condensation. Do not install the device close to a hot spot and keep it out of direct sunlight. Install the AFQm in a place protected from water, dust, flammable liquids, gases and corrosive substances.
  • Page 16 AFQm It should be noted that, depending on the installation conditions in the cabinet and in the room where this is placed, the outflows of hot air may be sucked back in by the device’s fans, causing a feedback of hot air that will lower the performance of the device. It is also necessary to bear in mind the power dissipated by the device when choosing where to install it, to ensure proper air recirculation, to make sure that the intake air is a suitable temperature.

  • Page 17: 3�3�- Storage For Long Periods

    AFQm 3�3�- STORAGE FOR LONG PERIODS If the device is not installed after receipt, the following recommendations must be observed to keep the device in a good state: Keep the device in a dry atmosphere and at a temperature of between -20ºC and 50ºC. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight.

The mounting surface must be solid, support the device’s weight and be level.

  • Page 20: 3�5�- Connection

    AFQm 3�5�- CONNECTION Wall and Rack type AFQm models: Use cables of a cross-section suitable for the rated current of the filter and that comply with the standards of the country in which they are being installed. The earth conductor must have at least the same cross-section as the phase conduc- tors.
  • Page 21 AFQm The correct connection of the current transformers is vital for the AFQm filters to op- erate properly. If the phases L1, L2 and L3 are switched in the secondary, the filter will not work properly. The AFQm devices have built-in fuse overcurrent protection. Install external protection according to the type of installation, the facility’s maximum short-circuit current, the maximum fuse current, and the regulations in force at the place of installation.
