Installation and Operation Instruction for THF Filter and
Protective Unit THF 1_
THF 1BS_
General guidelines
Due to the fact that most UK building earth circuits are TN-S-systems, special care should be
taken when installing a THF system in this country.
As with all other THF installations, the device should be fitted in the Neutral conductor, however
the following guidelines should be followed:

•
THF should be installed in the Neutral
conductor at the Transformer Star
Point.
•
In N- conductor in transformer star
point: Care should be taken to ensure
that no earth/neutral bond exists on the
supply (transformer) side of the filter.
This may result in a bypass situation
causing excessive current to flow via
the system earth.
•
In case of installation in N-conductor
of TN-S- system: Prior to installation of
THF, resistance measurements must
be carried out between the downstream
(building) earth & neutral to ensure that
no erroneous earth/neutral connection
exists other than that intended
to achieve a TN-S-system. Such
accidental connection could cause
excessive current to flow in the system
earth.
•
This Installation and setting instructions
for the THF-1S protection unit and
brochure THF 1 GB and 2 GB should
be followed.
