Filter installation
Please follow the few simple steps below to ensure a safe and satisfying filter function for many years.
Step 1: Visual inspection
All Schaffner ecosine
®
filters have undergone rigorous testing before they left our ISO 9001:2008 certified
factory. 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. Save the shipping container for future
transportation of the filter.
In the case of damage, please file a claim with the freight carrier 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.
Step 2: Mounting
Ecosine
®
load-applied filters are best installed as close as possible to the non-linear load in question.
Ideally, they are mounted next to the rectifier or motor drive inside the electrical cabinet or control room.
Note:
Filters for vertical wall mounting must not be installed horizontally. Horizontal installation will
negatively affect air flow and the life time of the filter.
Important:
In order to ensure sufficient air flow, keep a
clearance of at least 150mm above and below
the filter to walls or other components.
A 100mm clearance on either side is
recommended for the possibility to comfortably
open the cover in case of field maintenance.
Additional work to access the device, caused by
not respected clear 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 warmer environments require
temperature derating.
