3.2 General Installation Notes
▪Please read and follow the safety and application notes below.
▪Carefully inspect the shipping container and the product prior to
the installation. In case of visual damage, don’t install the filter
and file a claim with the freight carrier involved.
▪Filters may be heavy. Follow the instructions for lifting heavy
equipment defined by your company.
▪Use an appropriately sized threaded bolt for every mounting
hole/slot provided by the filter flange. The strength class of the
bolt must be determined by the installer, depending upon filter
weight and the material of the mounting surface.
▪Connect the filter to the protective earth (PE) terminal(s).
▪Remove all line side power, then connect the phase terminal(s)
and neutral terminal (if any) of the filter. The filter label may also
indicate LINE (grid side terminals) and LOAD (power electronics
terminals).
▪For the electrical connection of the filter terminals, apply the
torques recommended on the filter label and/or in the published
filter datasheets.
▪Cable or busbar cross sections have to be chosen in accordance
with national and international electric codes and applicable
product standards governing the equipment that will incorporate
the power quality filters and the equipment in use.
▪Some filters provide additional terminals, e.g. for over-
temperature monitoring. These features have to be properly
used before energizing the filter. If uncertain, please consult your
local Schaffner representative.
▪Active Harmonic Filters (AHF) are working with current
transformers (CTs which are a 3rd party product and which are
typically installed in electrical equipment with lethal high voltage
levels. Before attempting to install CTs read the CT installation
safety page provided by the CT manufacturer. Always consider
transformer as a part of the circuit to which it is connected, and
do not touch the leads and terminals or other parts of the
transformer unless they are known to be grounded.
▪In order to get the maximum benefit out of your power quality
filter, please also consult aditional user manuals, installation
manuals, whitepaper and other material, published in the
download section of www.schaffner.com. These additional
guidelines provide helpful hints for equipment related topics as
well as technical knowledge.
3.3 Safety Notes and Regulations
1. Label on equipment
2. Safety note category
Safety note regulations
Equipment installation, start-up, operation and
maintenance (if any) have to be carried out by
a trained and certified electrician or technician,
who is familiar with safety procedures in
electrical systems. Non-qualified persons are
not allowed to use, install, operate or maintain
PQ filters!
High voltage potentials are involved in the
operation of power quality equipment. Always
remove power before handling energized parts
of the filter, and let ample time elapse for the
capacitors to discharge to safe levels (<42V).
Residual voltages are to be measured both
line to line and line to earth.
Correct protective earthing of the equipment
must be established and the user must be
protected against supply voltage in
accordance with applicable national and local
regulations. Always practice the safety
procedures defined by your company and by
applicable national electric codes when
handling, installing, operating or maintaining
electrical equipment.
Some product may include EMC filters which
may cause leakage currents to ground.
Always connect the filter to protective earth
(PE) first, then continue with the wiring of
phase/neutral terminals. When
decommissioning the filter, remove the PE
connection at the end.
Using the direct OFF setting in AHF does not
disconnect the equipment from mains and is
thus not to be used as a safety switch.
Follow the general installation and
environmental condition notes closely. Ensure
that cooling slots (if any) are free from
obstructions that could inhibit efficient air
circulation. Operate the filter within its
electrical, mechanical, thermal and ambient
specifications at all times.
Power quality filters are lossy electrical
components. Parts/surfaces of the equipment
may get hot under load operating conditions.
At altitudes above 2000m, please contact
Schaffner prior to installation.
Filter suitability for a given application must
ultimately be determined by the user (the party
that is putting the filter into operation) on a
case by case basis. Schaffner will not assume
liability for any consequential downtimes or
damages resulting from use of filters outside
their specifications.
In case of uncertainty and questions please
contact your local Schaffner partner for
assistance (details per region available at
www.schaffner.com).

5 Environmental Conditions / Exclusion of warranty
This document classifies groups of environmental parameters and their severities to which ecosine
active sync harmonic filters are subjected when mounted for stationary use at weather protected
locations under use conditions, including periods of erection work, down time, maintenance and repair.
The lifetime of electronic equipment is depending on the environmental conditions they are exposed
to. Especially in harsh environments lifetime is reduced due to the corrosiveness of the atmospheric
environment. Generally, corrosion in micro or power electronics depends on several factors such as
the package type, materials involved, assembly processes, moisture, inorganic and organic
contaminants, atmospheric pollutants, temperature, thermal stress and electrical bias. To increase the
lifetime Schaffner provides all ecosine active sync filters with the ability to work within pollution degree
2 (PD2) and does use coated PCB’s according to IEC61721-3-3. Schaffner standard PCB construction
complies with class 3C2. Please carefully read the provided information and check if your application
fulfills the required specifications as Schaffner expressly points out that the manufacturer's
warranty shall lapse with immediate effect if ecosine active sync harmonic filters are
transported, stored, installed or operated outside their published specifications.
Important
Ecosine active sync harmonic filters (AHF) listed below are IP20 or IP54
devices to be installed in an environment in compliance with the
requirements named in this document.
All active harmonic filters (AHF) must be installed in a clean, dry location,
e.g. in sufficiently ventilated or airconditioned electric cabinets or closed
electric rooms. Contaminants such as oils, liquids, corrosive vapors,
abrasive debris, dust and aggressive gases must be kept out of the filter
enclosure.

6 Ecosine Active Sync Product Line Overview
6.1 Principle of operation
Ecosine active sync filters are used for harmonic current mitigation, reactive current compensation
(both inductive and capacitive) and phase unbalance correction and optimization. The filter units can
be integrated into systems and applications as a centrally installed filter unit to mitigate all application
related harmonics or can be combined with frequency converters and motor drives to turn standard
converters and motor drives into low harmonic solutions.
Ecosine active sync filters are connected in parallel to the load and do steadily monitor all 3-phase line
currents (simplified schematic in Figure 6-1). Harmonic currents and reactive power components are
reliably detected and processed in an ultra fast digital control structure. By generating and actively
imposing currents in the opposite phase shift, unwanted harmonic and reactive currents are reliably
mitigated. By using the latest generation of 3-level IGBT technology ultra fast (real time) feeding is
possible with lower losses compared to older generation active harmonic filters. Build-in LCL-filter
technology ensures that neither the switching frequency (16 kHz) nor DC components are imposed
into the mains. Operation is possible independent of the source, thus the use of the filter in generator
or transformer supply applications is feasible. Connected loads can be of various nature, e.g.
individual non-linear loads or groups of non-linear loads.

6.2.3 Ecosine active sync Double Power Pack (DPP) FN3532 and FN3542
FN3532 and FN3542 are so called Double Power Packs consisting of two ecosine active sync power
modules. FN3532 is applied to 3-phase 3-wire networks without neutral wire. FN3542 is applied to 3-
phase 4-wire network with neutral wire. Both DPP packages will always include two power modules (3-
wire or 4-wire) and will work in master-slave architecture. That’s why only one CT module and only
one display module is needed and will be included in the package. Communication between the
modules is realized via a high-speed bus.
