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 levels 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 an ambient temperature range of 0°C to 40°C and can tolerate humidity from 0 to 95% non-condensing.
What input voltage and frequency ranges does the AHF support?
The AHF operates from 480, 240, or 208 VAC (3-phase, 3-wire plus ground) with a voltage tolerance of +12%, -15%, and a frequency of 50 or 60 Hz, ±5 Hz.
How does the AHF handle overload conditions?
The AHF uses electronic current limiting to restrict output to 100% of the system's rated current and is designed to operate continuously under this condition.
Can multiple AHF units be used together?
Yes, multiple systems can be paralleled to achieve the required harmonic correction if it exceeds the maximum current rating of a single unit, up to six systems.
What is the Standby/Power Saving function of the AHF?
This function automatically disables the AHF inverter when load power drops below a user-selected level, saving power or disabling during alternate input source usage.
How does the AHF log events and faults?
The AHF can record the last 1,856 reset events and 480 shutdown events, including date/time stamps and detailed operational data, with battery backup memory.
What information is available on the AHF's LCD touch screen?
The LCD displays power quality information (voltage, current, THD, power factor), operating status, system temperatures, currents, voltages, and allows for system control and data viewing.
Does the AHF support remote monitoring and control?
Yes, it features an Ethernet communications interface for configuration, diagnostics, data collection, and remote enable/disable, as well as status relays and a remote enable/disable input.
How are current transformers (CTs) handled by the AHF?
The AHF uses split core CTs and has a CT setup function to verify correct installation and direction, with automatic correction for improper placement.
