The Danfoss AHF 005 and AHF 010 are advanced harmonic filters not to be compared with traditional harmonic trap filters. The Danfoss harmonic filters have been specially designed to match all the Danfoss frequency converters. The filters AHF 010 and AHF 005 are available in four voltage ratings.
Table 2.2: AHF 005 and AHF 010, 380V - 415V, 50Hz ⋆ Please note that the matching of the typical Danfoss frequency converter and filter is pre-calculated based on 400V and assuming typical motor load (4 or 2 pole motor). (FC 300 is based on an 160% torque application, while FC 100 and FC 200 Series are based on 110% torque application.) The pre-calculated filter current may be different than the input current ratings of FC 100, FC 200 and FC 300 series as stated in the respective operating instructions, as these numbers are based on different operating conditions.
Table 2.3: AHF 005 and AHF 010, 380V - 415V, 50Hz ⋆ Please note that the matching of the typical Danfoss frequency converter and filter is pre-calculated based on 400V and assuming typical motor load (4 or 2 pole motor). (FC 300 is based on an 160% torque application, while FC 100 and FC 200 Series are based on 110% torque application.) The pre-calculated filter current may be different than the input current ratings of FC 100, FC 200 and FC 300 series as stated in the respective operating instructions, as these numbers are based on different operating conditions.
Table 2.4: AHF005 and AHF010, 440 - 480 V, 60 Hz ⋆ Please note that the matching of the typical Danfoss frequency converter and filter is pre-calculated based on 480V and assuming typical motor load. FC 300 is based on an 160% torque application, while FC 100 and FC 200 series are based on 110% torque application.
Table 2.5: AHF005 and AHF 010, 500-525V, 50 Hz ⋆ Please note that the matching of the typical Danfoss frequency converter and filter is pre-calculated based on 500V and assuming typical motor load. FC 300 is based on an 160% torque application, while FC 100 and FC 200 series are based on 110% torque application.
Table 2.6: AHF005 and AHF010, 690V, 50 Hz ⋆ Please note that the matching of the typical Danfoss frequency converter and filter is pre-calculated based on 690V and assuming typical motor load. FC 300 is based on an 160% torque application, while FC 100 and FC 200 series are based on 110% torque application.

3691 W 5306 W If other heat sources (e.g. Danfoss frequency converters) are installed in an enclosure with the harmonic filter AHF 0xx, this heat generation must also be considered when calculating required airflow If the cooling air is polluted (dust, dirt swirl, grease, aggressive gas) the function of the filter module may be impeded. Ensure sufficient countermeasures, e.g.
4.1.4 Capacitor Disconnect The power factor of the harmonic filter AHF 005/010 is decreasing with decreasing load. At zero load the Power Factor becomes zero and the capacitors produce approximately 30% leading current compared to the rated current of the filter. The reactive current generated by the filter at partial load is normally not of any concern, mainly because of the small current compared to the system capacity (max 30%) as well as the fact that other load normally compensates the capacitive current.
The filter must be protected against short-circuit and overload to avoid electrical or fire hazard and to protect cables and filter from overheating. Danfoss recommends using fuses mentioned below to protect service personnel and equipment in case of an internal failure in the filter.
Table 4.8: Capacitor disconnect (copper) *Power wiring used for connection of the filter AHF 005 and AHF 010 in enclosure size E, F and G must be terminated with cable lugs that can be attached to the input and output bus bars terminals. This type of termination imposes no specifications of the minimum and maximum cable size suitable for connection.
4 Installation AHF 005/010 Operating Instructions Do not fix the nut without using a second wrench for the screw. If this is not observed, it might be possible to tear out the terminal when fixing the nut. Frame E Frame F Frame G, Frame H For UL approval use copper conductor only.

More detailed information is included in the documentation. When using the filter module with frequency converters without safe separation from the supply line (to VDE 0100) all control wiring has to be included in further protective measures (e.g.
