Overview
- The dV/dT filter combines an inductor and parallel resistor network to mitigate both high frequency components and voltage spikes between the VFD and motor.
- The filter can mitigate the effects of reflected wave voltages greater than what a reactor alone can accomplish.
- The filter provides protection to the motor by slowing down the rate of voltage increase and minimizes the damaging peak voltages that occur within the motor’s windings and along the length of cables feeding the motor.
- Open style design for flexible integration
- Extends motor lifespan and prevents insulation failure

How to Install the HPS Centurion P Passive Harmonic Filter
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the installation and initial setup of the HPS Centurion P Passive Harmonic Filter, ensuring safe and effective operation.
Estimated time: 1h
Tools needed:
Screwdriver, Wire strippers, Multimeter, Forklift
Supplies needed:
Mounting screws, Terminal connectors, Grounding wire
- Inspect the unit
Immediately after receiving the Passive Harmonic Filter, inspect it for any transit damage and ensure all parts are accounted for against the shipping documents.
- Mount the filter
Using a forklift, carefully position the Passive Harmonic Filter in the designated installation location, ensuring at least 6 inches of clearance from walls and obstructions for ventilation.
- Ground the filter
Connect the designated main grounding location of the Passive Harmonic Filter to a proper ground to ensure safe operation before energizing the unit.
- Make electrical connections
Connect the input terminals A1, B1, and C1 to the corresponding phases of the power supply, and connect A2, B2, and C2 to the load, following the nameplate diagram.
- Verify connections
Use a multimeter to verify that all electrical connections are secure and that there is no voltage present before proceeding to energize the unit.
- Energize the filter
Once all connections are verified, turn on the upstream circuit breaker or disconnect to energize the Passive Harmonic Filter.
- Perform initial testing
Use a power quality analyzer to measure total harmonic distortion and power factor before and after connecting the filter to establish a baseline for performance.
