User and installation manual Ecosine evo Passive Harmonic Filters 2/62
i. Ecosine evo passive harmonic filter product
highlights
Schaffner ecosine evo passive harmonic filters are configurable products which provide a tailored
solution to each specific problem of current harmonics mitigation of 3-phase non-linear loads.
The eight product lines, FN3440/FN3441, FN3450/FN3451, FN3442/FN3443 and FN3452/FN3453 are
applicable for low voltage 50 Hz and 60 Hz systems and they are particularly suitable for AC and DC
motor drives, battery chargers and other power electronics applications with 6-pulse front-end rectifiers.
Ecosine evo passive harmonic filter technology represents an evolution of the previous generations of
passive harmonic filters and introduces following aspects of novelty:
|Ecosine evo is designed for the most demanding harmonic mitigation tasks. Ecosine evo
filters FN3440, FN3450, FN3442 and FN3452 are designed for three-phase diode and thyristor
rectifier, to achieve THDi ≤5% even without DC-link choke included in the drive. If there is 8%
DC link choke present in the drive, ecosine evo filters FN3441, FN3451, FN3443 and FN3453
help to achieve 5% THDi @ rated power. The new generation ecosine evo filters guarantee
compliance with the toughest requirement of IEEE-519 and other stringent international power
quality standards.
|Ecosine evo demonstrates superior partial load performance. The excellent performance
of ecosine evo filters not only reflects on mitigating harmonic current and bringing the THDi
down to 5% (diode rectifiers @ rated power), but also introducing minimum reactive power, even
at partial or no-load condition. The displacement power factor remains at cosφ >0.98 @ 50%
load.
|The modular concept of ecosine evo offers optimal tailored solution. Ecosine evo are con-
figurable filters, optional modules include fan with aux. power supply, fan without aux. power
supply, trap disconnect jumper and RC damper modules. Optimal solutions can be achieved by
merely plugging a new module according to different installation conditions and drive setups.
|Most compact design, robust, reliable and ready to use.
|The Schaffner ecosine evo product configurator (myecosine.com) supports customers in eval-
uating the best suited filter type.
|The upgraded version of the Schaffner power quality simulator SchaffnerPQS3
(pqs.schaffner.com) provides the possibility to simulate ecosine evo passive harmonic filters
within an electrical system. It furthermore offers quick and accurate performance checks.
This user manual is intended to support designers, installers, and application engineers with filter
selection, installation, application, and maintenance. It provides helpful solutions to overcome harmonics
mitigation challenges and answers frequently asked questions.

ii. Performance Guarantee
By selecting and installing the appropriate ecosine evo passive harmonic filter in a variable frequency
AC drive application, variable speed drive application within our published technical specifications, we
guarantee that the input current distortion will be less than or equal to 5% THDi for standard ecosine
evo series filters at rated power. Ecosine evo filters can also provide similar performance in other drive
applications such as constant torque, DC drives or other phase controlled rectifiers, e.g. SCR drives,
but actual THDi levels can vary by load and/or speed and/or firing angle of thyristors and therefore
cannot be guaranteed. Consult your local Schaffner representative for assistance when applying
ecosine filters on these types of equipment.
