Installation to TN-S-System

 

– THF in the transformer star point

2.

  Open both the HV- main switch and  the LV-main switch.

3.

  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 by-pass situation causing excessive current to flow via the system 
earth, heating of the cables and inactivating the filter.

4.

  Measure the isolation resistance between point A and B to ensure that the resistance between             

point A and B is high. R

e

 needs to be over 50 k

Ω

. Any earthing conductor with lower resistance 

by-passing the THF between the star point and B might be subject to high third harmonic current and 
heating of the cables, and inactivating THF.

5. 

 Make the earthing in point B.

The installation shall be done following the local 
wiring rules suggesting to work all power off. 
Prior to installation of THF in the transformer 
star-point between point A and B following 
measures must be taken.

1.

  Measure the fundamental 50/60Hz current in the 

star point connector conductor. Load balancing is 
recommended, if the unbalance current exceeds 15% 
of the rated primary current of the CT.

Installation to TN-S-System

 

- THF in the N-conductor

1.

  Measure the fundamental 50/60Hz current on the N-conductor.     

Phase balancing  is recommended,if the unbalance current   

 

exceeds 15% of the rated primary current of the CT.

2. 

Open the LV-main switch.

3.

  Check that there is no earting bond on the load side between 

N-conductor after the point B and the earthing system.

4. 

Measure the isolation resistance between point A  and B or to    

ensure  that the resistance between point A  and B is high. R

e

    

 

needs to be over 50 k

Ω.

5.  

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 and heating of the 
cables.

The installation of THF in the N-conductor

6. 

Before the installation turn the by-pass switch of  THF-unit ON.

7.

  Connect the OUTPUT-terminal to the load side (B).

8.

  Connect the INPUT-terminal to the line side (A).

9.

  The N-conductor of TN-S-system shall be earthed on the line 

side of THF only. No earthing is allowed between N-terminal  
and earthing system on the load side of THF (OUTPUT-terminal).

10. 

  After the installation turn the by-pass-switch in OFF-position.

11.

  Check that the THF connection is right by measuring the 

current with THF ON and OFF. In proper installation the filtering   

 

effect should be around 90% and the 150/180 Hz voltage 
across THF should be 10...45V.

The installation of THF in the PEN- 
conductor

6.

  Before the installation turn the by-pass  switch of  THF-

unit ON.

7.

  Connect the OUTPUT-terminal to the load side (B).

8.

  Connect the INPUT-terminal to the line side (A).

9.

  The PEN-wire shall be earthed after the OUTPUT- 

terminal only. No earthing is allowed between the    
transformer star point (N-terminal) and the INPUT-   
terminal.

10.  

After the installation turn the by-pass-switch in OFF- 

position.

11.

  Check that the THF connection is right by measuring  

the current with THF ON and OFF.  In proper  installation 
the filtering effect should be around 90 % and the 
150/ 180 Hz voltage across THF should be 10...45V.
