Fault 10: Harmonic Filter - High Total Demand Distortion
Message
Quantum:.“Fault.10”
Quantum.LX:.“harmonic.Filter.high.Total.Demand.Distortion’’
This.shutdown.indicates.that.the.filter.is.not.operating.cor-
rectly. or. the. input. current. to. the. Vyper™/filter. system. is.
not.sinusoidal..This.fault.occurs.when.any.one.of.the.three.
phases. of. Total. Demand. Distortion. (TDD). is. greater. than.
25.0.%,.for.forty-five.continuous.seconds.while.the.Vyper™.
is.running..TDD.is.defined.by.the.IEEE.Std.519-1992.standard.

tion,.in.percent.of.the.maximum.demand.load.current.(15.or.
30.min.demand)”..In.the.filter.option.supplied.by.Frick,.the.
