ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION OR ARC FLASH After switching off the mains supply all terminals may stay life for up to fifteen minutes! Before touching, verify that no voltage is present.
Check for ambient moisture to be below 90%. If the moisture is higher, measures for reduction of moisture must be taken. Check for no direct sunlight exposition of the RHF-Active and for no dust impact. If that could happen, countermeasures must be taken.
If several products are used in parallel, check for compliant adjustment of the parameters. If the RHF-Active has not been powered up for >4 month, wait 1 hour before starting it (RUN). Hint: If the result of harmonic compensation is not satisfying, please check the parameters once again first, wiring (especially polarity) of the current transformers second.

The sum of distorted load current and compensation current results in a (nearly) sinewave grid current. The required nominal current of the RHF-Active depends on the nominal current of the load and its distortion. If the distorting load is a frequency converter, the percentage of compensation current is ca.

5. Installation instructions 5.3.6 RHF-Active in parallel wiring RHF-Active may be connected in parallel without limitation to achieve higher power ratings. It is necessary to adjust the related parameters in the software and do adopt the wiring of the current transformers.
The Software adjustment must be in accordance to the final ratio. If e.g. a 100A CT is used, but the wire is loped through. The setting in the software must be 50A. User manual RHF-Active...
ID_DS Reserved for future purpose A new RHF-Active will be supplied with a short circuit wire at the EPO connector. This is mandatory to ensure that the RHF-Active will NOT start at first powering up.If the RHF-Active has not been powered up for >4 month, wait 1 hour before starting it (RUN). To start the RHF- Active, switch off the supply voltage, disconnect the EPO connector (or remove the wire) and power it up again.
