Illustration 4.14 Parallel Use of AHF Combined with Capacitor Disconnect
NOTICE
It is not allowed to use 1 common 3-poled contactor
with several paralleled filters.
NOTICE
Keep the cable length between the filter and the
capacitor disconnect contactor as short as possible to
reduce the impedance influence on the cable. A
maximum cable length of 2 m (6.6 ft) is allowed between
filter and contactor.
Voltage boost
The AHF is designed to ensure the lowest possible
insertion loss to provide full DC-link voltage in the
frequency converter. The target of this design is to ensure
full DC-link voltage at nominal load, see B in
. Providing the full DC-link voltage at
nominal load results in a minor voltage boost at low-load
conditions and a minor voltage drop at overload
conditions. The voltage boost at low load (A in
) is approximately 5%, while the voltage
drop at overload (C in
) is a few
percentages.
shows the insertion loss in the
frequency converter as a function of load.
NOTICE
The voltage boost causes the voltage at the frequency
converter terminals to be up to 5% higher than the
voltage at the input of the filter when the capacitors are
not disconnected. Consider this situation when designing
the installation. Take special care in 690 V applications
where the voltage tolerance of the frequency converter
is reduced to +5%, unless a capacitor disconnect is used.

Low-load condition or standby. Approximately 5%
voltage boost occurs without the capacitors being
disconnected. If the capacitors are disconnected, the
voltage boost can be reduced.
B
Nominal load condition. The AHF is optimized for full
DC-link voltage in the frequency converter at nominal
load conditions.
C
Overload condition. A voltage drop of a few
percentages occurs at high overload conditions.

NOTICE
Only switch the contactor at less than 20% output
power. Allow minimum 25 s for the capacitors to
discharge before reconnecting. See more details in
