Variable Frequency Drive Settings
Make sure that the variable frequency drive will be set
for operation modes and ranges that are compatible with
the V1k output filter:
•Maximum output frequency: 60 Hz
•PWM switching frequency best between 2kHz and
4kHz
•Mode of operation: Do not use with DC braking unless
the drive application has been confirmed by TCI
Technical Support.
•Do not use on overhauling loads without bus voltage
control.
Mounting anopenpanel unit
If you are mounting an open panel unit in your own
enclosure, you must provide an enclosure that is
adequately sized and ventilated sufficiently to prevent
overheating. The filter is designed with an maximum
ambient temperature of 40°C (104°F). If the ambient
temperature exceeds this value it is the responsibility of
the customer to provide auxiliary cooling to reduce the
ambient operating temperature around the V1k filter. TCI
strongly recommends using auxiliary cooling devices
such as cooling fans, heat exchangers, or possibly air
conditioning units when required to maintain the proper
operating temperature.
The V1k must be mounted vertically on a smooth, solid
surface, free from heat, dampness, and condensation.
Mounting it vertically is important for natural convection
cooling. A metal plate is provided to mount the V1k on a
composite surface.
PowerWiring
The conduit and wiring from the output of the variable
frequency drive to the motor must be routed to the V1k
and then to the motor. TCI recommends a separate
dedicated conduit run for each drive/filter/motor run
unless properly shielded and segregated wiring
procedures are practiced. Parasitic and induced
capacitance can greatly reduce the effectiveness of the
filter performance. Under no circumstances should you
wire both control and power wire in the same conduit
unless the wire way is specifically designed for this
practice. The line reactor temperature is sensitive to
lead wire oversizing. Avoid lead wires more than five
times oversized by copper cross sectional area
regardless of the material used. Use 75°C copper
conductors only or the equivalent, unless the wire
connector is marked for AI/Cu, then the use of aluminum

Installation Instructions
Installation Checklist
• Make sure that the installation location will not be
exposed to direct sunlight, rain or dripping liquids,
corrosive liquids or gases, explosive or combustible
gases or dust, excessive airborne dirt and dust, or
excessive vibration.
• Select a mounting area that will allow adequate
cooling air and maintenance access.
•Make sure that all wiring conforms to the requirements
of the National Electric Code (NEC) and/or other
applicable electrical codes.
• Ground the V1k Output Filter to a dedicated system
ground to ensure safety and filter performance. Use a
properly sized grounding conductor.
• Wire the output power terminals of the VFD, T1(U),
T2(V), & T3(W) to the input terminals of the V1k filters
A1, B1, and C1.
• Wire the output power terminals, of the V1k, A2, B2, &
C2 to the motor power connections.
• Make sure the VFD is set for operating modes and
ranges that are compatible with the V1k Output Filter.
•Check the entire system thoroughly before energizing
and operating any equipment.
When you receive the unit, you should immediately
inspect the shipping container and report any damage
to the shipping carrier who delivered the unit.
Verify the Application
Make sure the V1k drive output filter is correct for the
application. The current ratings of the V1k should be
sized to handle the FLA rating of the motor but not to
exceed 110% of the drive output current rating. This
output filter is best applied matched closely to the load.
The V1k drive output filter is not selected by the drive
input current rating. Properly sized and applied, TCI
guarantees that the V1k will limit motor terminal peak
input voltage to 150% of the bus voltage with a wire lead
lenth of 1000 feet and a carrier frequency of 4 kHz.
Maximum lead length and carrier frequency can vary
depending on wire lead type. For best performance, the
V1k should be installed within 10 feet of the drive.
wire is permitted. Use only copper conductor on units
rated above 80 amps.
WiringCable Entry Locations
TCI has provided enclosure knock-outs on the two
smaller enclosures for incoming and outgoing power
cables. These are located in a typical wiring location for
customer convenience. On the two larger size
enclosures, TCI has not provided knock-outs due to the
wide variety of application requirements. TCI allows
installing electricians the option of locating the cable
openings at a point of their choosing.
Grounding
The V1k filter must be connected to the ground of the
premises wiring system. This can be conducted by
identifying a known premises ground near by the filter or
running a special ground dedicated for this application.
The ground connection must be made using a wire
conductor. Metallic conduit is not a suitable grounding
conductor. The integrity of all ground connections
should be periodically checked.
