PROBLEM:

Harmonic current distortion exceeds 8% on one or more
phases at full load.

Possible cause:

On filters rated 52 amps and above, the capacitor assembly has not
been connected.

Solution:

Check interconnection of capacitor assembly with reactor panel
(Figure 26).

Possible cause:

A capacitor has failed.

Solution:

Inspect the tops of all capacitors for bowing. Replace failed
capacitors.

Possible cause:

Solution

Source impedance is less than 1.5%.

Add a minimum 1.5% impedance line reactor to the filter input

Possible cause:

Solution

Input source voltage harmonic distortion.

Identify equipment causing harmonic voltage distortion and add
filters as required or accept elevated THVD

Possible cause:

Solution:

Line voltage unbalance exceeds 1%.

Balance input line voltage to 1% or less.

PROBLEM:

Harmonic current distortion exceeds 5% on one or more
phases at full load.

Possible cause:

The input reactor required for a 5% filter was not installed. (See
Figure 38.)

Solution:

Install the required input reactor

Possible cause:

On filters rated 52 amps and above, the capacitor assembly has not
been connected.

Solution:

Check interconnection of capacitor assembly with reactor panel
(Figure 26).

Possible cause:

A capacitor has failed.

Solution:

Inspect the tops of all capacitors for bowing. Replace failed
capacitors.
