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 2.
8.2 Step 2: Mounting
Ecosine max 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 max passive harmonic filters are designed for floor mounting installation inside a cabinet.
Inside the cabinet the filter must be place as much as possible on the left side with a clearance of
about 10mm to the inner frame of the cabinet. Additionally, the customer must ensure that the filter can
be taken out straight from the front door of the cabinet, depending on the cabinet reference the exact
position might be adjusted accordingly.
Note:
The filter placement on the left (capacitor side) is
meant to improve air cooling of the capacitor and to
allow as much as possible free space on the termi-
nal side for power cables or busbar connections.
Important:
In order to ensure sufficient air flow, keep a clear-
ance of min.150mm above the filter to ceiling or
other components inside the cabinet. The outside
distance between the cabinet is not restricted as
far as the accessibility is guarantee (front door can
fully open). Please also ensure to comply with cool-
ing requirement described in section 3.8.
