4.2.1 Planning the Installation Site
NOTE
Before performing the installation it is important to plan
the installation of the Filter. Neglecting this may result in
extra work during and after installation.
Select the best possible operation site by considering the
following (see details on the following pages):
•
Ambient temperature conditions
•
Altitude at installation point
•
Installation and compensation method
•
How to cool the unit
•
Position of the Active Filter
•
CT installation point and possibility to reuse
existing CTs
•
Cable routing and EMI conditions
•
Ensure the power source supplies the correct
voltage and frequency
•
If the unit is without built-in fuses, ensure that
the external fuses are rated correctly.
4.2.2 Receiving the Active Filter
When receiving the unit please make sure that the
packaging is intact, and be aware of any damage that
might have occurred to the unit during transport. In case
damage has occurred, contact immediately the shipping
company to claim the damage.
NOTE
Damaged packaging can indicate a too rough transpor-
tation which might have resulted in inside failures of the
unit. Even though the unit from the outside seems to be
intact make sure to claim the damage
4.2.3 Transportation and Unpacking
Before unpacking the Active Filter it is recommended that
it is located as close as possible to the final installation
site. Keep the filter on the pallet and boxed, as long as
possible to avoid scratches and dents.
