TROUBLESHOOTING - continued

PROBLEM:

Harmonic current distortion exceeds 5% on one or more

 

phases at full load.

 

 

Possible cause:

Source impedance is less than 1.5%.

Solution

Add a minimum 1.5% impedance line reactor to the filter input

 

 

Possible cause:

Input source voltage harmonic distortion.

Solution

Identify equipment causing harmonic voltage distortion and add

 

filters as required or accept elevated THVD

 

 

Possible cause:

Line voltage unbalance exceeds 1%.

Solution:

Balance input line voltage to 1% or less.

 

 

PROBLEM:

Filter output voltage is not within specification

 

 

Possible cause:

Filter input voltage is not within specification.

Solution:

Check the AC input line voltage and verify that it is within tolerance.

 

Refer to the filter service conditions and performance specifications

 

in Chapter 3 for tolerances.

 

 

Possible cause:

Source impedance is out of tolerance.

Solution:

Verify that the source impedance is within tolerance. Refer to the

 

filter service conditions and performance specifications in Chapter 4

 

for tolerances.
