TECHNICAL USER´S MANUAL WARNINGS & SAFETY PRECAUTIONS • Check your power cables and connections for damage before powering up the module. If the cables are damaged, do not power it up. • Power cables should not pass over the module. •...
2 – Technical Specifications Technical specifications of the 12kVAr, 25kVAr, 50kVAr and 80kVAr thyristor modules are listed in Table 2.1. This table gives guaranteed ratings and exceeding these guaranteed ratings will significantly reduce module life expectancy.
Wiring Diagrams section. “Superfast” electronic branch fuses must be used to protect the thyristor modules! 12kVAr and 25kVAr modules do not require an auxiliary voltage connection. These modules are powered internally. The 50kVAr and 80kVAr modules are equipped with a fan and are designed for forced cooling.
TECHNICAL USER´S MANUAL 3.2 Installation CAPACITOR AND DISCHARGE MECHANISM: The recommended capacitor voltages for a 400V PFC system with and without a detuned filter reactor are listed in Table 3.1. A suitable detuned filter reactor is recommended to avoid the risk of resonance and reactor acoustic noise. Table 3.1: Capacitor voltages for PFC with and without a detuned filter reactor PFC type Recommended Capacitor...

90±5ºC. The over-heating fault will not reset until the hot spot temperature is below 70±5ºC. Make sure the modules are properly cooled. 1. Make sure the 12kVAr and 25kVAr modules are vertically mounted on the mounting plates. If the modules are not mounted vertically, they must not be powered up! 2.
TECHNICAL USER´S MANUAL 6 – Warranty, Terms and Conditions These modules are warranted against manufacturing defects for 1 (one) year. The modules are out of warranty in case of user error, use not in accordance with recommended practice presented in this manual, internal circuits are tampered with and/or the cover is removed. The manufacturer is not responsible for: •...
