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. |
