8. Filter installation
Please follow the simple steps below to ensure a safe and reliable filter function for many years. Please do
also always follow the general safety and installation guidelines provided within this document as well as
relevant local, national or international standards that are applicable. Please note that the following
installation steps are applicable for both IP 00 and IP 20 enclosure.
Step 1: Visual inspection
All Schaffner ecosine evo passive harmonic filters have undergone rigorous testing before they left our ISO
9001:2008 certified factories. They are packaged with great care in a sturdy container for international
shipment.
However, carefully inspect the shipping container for damage that may have occurred in transit. Then unpack
the filter and carefully inspect for any signs of damage. Keep the shipping container for future transportation
of the filter.
In the case of damage, please file a claim with the freight forwarder involved immediately and contact your
local Schaffner partner for support. Under no circumstances install and energize a filter with visible
transportation damage.
If the filter is not going to be put in service upon receipt, store within the original container in a clean, dry
location, free of dust and chemicals and with respect to named temperature limits, see section 3.2.
Step 2: Mounting
Ecosine evo passive harmonic filters are best installed as close as possible to the non-linear load. Ideally
they are mounted next to the rectifier or motor drive inside the electrical cabinet or control room.
All ecosine evo passive harmonic filters FN 3440/FN 3441, FN 3450/FN 3451, FN 3442/FN 3443, FN
3452/FN 3453 are designed for wall-mounting installation.
Important:
In order to ensure sufficient air flow, keep a clearance
of min.150mm above and below the filter to walls or
other components.
Additional work to access the device, caused by not
respected clearance distances, will be accounted
separately.
It must be ensured that the environmental temperature
is kept below 45°C with appropriate thermal
management (e.g. cabinet cooling). Filter operation in
environments with higher temperatures require a
temperature derating.
