For other types of detuned bank please contact your ABB Service provider to
evaluate the resonance frequency and the harmonics that are recommended to
be deselected.
When background distortion is present on the network and detuned capacitor
banks are installed adjacent to the active filter but connected downstream of
the filter CTs, filter resources will be lost. To overcome this, it is recommended
to either connect the detuned capacitor bank upstream of the filter CTs or to
use the CT connection approach shown in

In installations where active filters and passive filters are present, the active
filters must be installed downstream of the passive filter. If this is not possible,
