Overview

The Hammond Power FCL500-5-R is a 333 mV split-core AC current transformer designed for active harmonic filter applications. With a primary current rating of 500 A and a substantial internal diameter (I.D.) of 2.75" x 6.625", this sensor is engineered for accurate current measurement in industrial and commercial power systems. Its split-core design facilitates easy installation, particularly in retrofit scenarios, as it allows for clamping around existing conductors without the need to disconnect the primary circuit. This feature significantly reduces installation time and minimizes potential downtime. The FCL500-5-R provides a standard 333 mV output signal at its rated full-scale current, making it compatible with a wide range of power meters and monitoring devices, including DIRIS A-100/A-200 (333 mV models), WattNode, and DIRIS MCM power meters, as well as other third-party equipment that accepts 333 mV current sensors. Manufactured in the USA, this current transformer adheres to high standards of quality and reliability. It meets IEEE/ANSI C57.13 and IEC 61869-1 standards, and is UL 2808 and CSA-C22.2 No. 61010-1 listed (File E363660), ensuring safety and performance. The Accu®-CT technology employed in this sensor delivers exceptional linearity and low phase angle error, crucial for precise power and energy measurements, and for effective harmonic filtering. The built-in burden resistor eliminates the need for external shorting blocks, further simplifying installation and enhancing safety. Its robust construction ensures durability and tolerance against thermal and electrical heating, providing reliable operation in demanding environments. The FCL500-5-R is an ideal solution for applications requiring accurate current sensing for power quality management, harmonic analysis, and energy monitoring.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of the HPS TruWave Active Harmonic Filter?

The AHF is designed to reduce total demand distortion (TDD) and total harmonic distortion (THD(V)) to less than 5%, correct linear displacement, and balance incoming three-phase current.

What are the operating temperature and humidity ranges for the AHF?

The AHF operates in ambient temperatures from 0°C to 40°C and humidity levels from 0 to 95% non-condensing.

What input voltages can the HPS TruWave AHF operate on?

The AHF can operate from input voltages of 480, 240, or 208 VAC, with a tolerance of +12%, -15%.

What is the efficiency rating of the AHF?

The AHF has an efficiency of no less than 98% at full load, with heat losses not exceeding 2% of the unit's KVAR rating.

How does the AHF handle overload conditions?

The AHF uses electronic current limiting to limit its output to 100% RMS of the system's current rating and can operate continuously under this condition.

Can multiple AHF units be installed together?

Yes, up to six AHF systems can be installed in parallel if the required harmonic correction exceeds the maximum current rating of a single unit.

What is the warranty period for the HPS TruWave AHF?

The standard factory warranty is at least 18 months from the date of shipment or one year from the verified date of startup, whichever comes first.

How does the AHF monitor incoming line current?

The AHF uses two split core current transformers on phases A and B, and a third on phase C if single-phase loads are present.

What is the function of the Standby/Power Saving mode?

This mode automatically disables the AHF inverter when load power drops below a user-selected level, saving power or disabling when an alternate input source is used.

Can users select the desired harmonic current TDD% and Power Factor?

Yes, users can select the desired harmonic current TDD% and Power Factor through the AHF's LCD front screen interface.
