4.7.2 Control Wire Connection for Parallel
Filter Run
Additional to the CT wiring all follower units have to be
connected to the master via either digital or analog inputs.
Below picture shows the necessary control wire

WARNING
Follower units will not work if control wires are not
correctly connected.
NOTE
It is advised to use shielded control wires for correct EMC
installation.
4.7.3 Software Set-up of Parallel Filter Run
It is not practical to have followers running in different
mitigation mode or with changed priorities individually as
desired performance can not be guarantied. Parallel
connected filters are thus always to be programmed with
same compensation and priority mode. Also make sure all
CT-settings have been set identically in all parallel
connection units, and all has same hardware secondary CT
configuration.
The automatic CT-detection is still effective for filters in
master-follower configuration but it is recommend setting
follower units manually. It is advised to use the following
procedure for setting the CT values:
1.
Program master unit
300-10 Active Filter Nominal
Voltage
2.
Program master unit
3.
Perform an automatic CT detection on master
unit
300-29 Start Auto CT Detection
4.
Note the auto CT-result and manually program
each follower unit.
5.
Ensure identical settings in
300-10 Active Filter
Nominal Voltage
,
and on
each unit.
Alternatively each follower unit can conduct an automatic
CT detection after the master unit is turned off. Only run
one auto CT detection at a time.
Additional to above mentioned CT-setting it is also
necessary to set each unit to have its respective role in the
cascade network.
300-40 Master Follower Selection
is set to
master or follower for each unit.

WARNING
Make sure only one master is set in each group of parallel
