Safety Precautions

DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION OR ARC
FLASH
Refer to nameplate for ratings and voltages.
This equipment must only be installed and serviced by
qualified electrical personnel.
Follow all requirements in NFPA 70E and CSA Z462
for safe work practice and personal protective
equipment (PPE).
Turn off all power supplying this equipment before
working on or inside equipment.
Always use a properly rated voltage sensing device to
confirm power is off.
Replace all devices, doors, and covers before turning
on power to this equipment.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in
serious injury or death.
1. Do not lift or move a passive harmonic filter without
proper equipment and properly trained personnel.
Ensure that the passive harmonic filter is only lifted
using the lifting provisions provided. Always use lifting
provisions provided by HPS. Rolling and skidding are
recommended only on passive harmonic filters with a
preordered skidding base.
2. Do not off-load the passive harmonic filter until it has
been fully inspected for damages. If any damages are
identified the filter should not be energized and HPS
should be contacted immediately.
3. Only use terminals for electrical connections. Flexible
connectors are recommended for bus connections.
Uni-strut supports can be added in the field providing
proper clearances are maintained.
4. Connections should only be made in accordance with
the nameplate diagram or connection drawings and
the applicable local codes and standards.
5. Make sure all power (including back-fed control and
possible capacitor charge) is disconnected and all
windings are grounded before attempting any work
on the filter or inside the enclosure.
6. Make certain all ground connections, line terminals
and selected tap connections are completed and
tightened before energizing the passive harmonic
filter.
7. Do not tamper with control panels, alarms, interlocks
or control circuits.
8. Do not adjust or remove any accessories or cover
plates while the filter is energized.
9. No cables should come in contact with the core or coil
of a reactor or any live parts except the terminal that
it is intended for. Ensure that minimum clearances are
maintained at all times.
10. This equipment must only be installed and serviced by
qualified electrical personnel.
11. Follow all requirements in NFPA 70E and CSA Z462 for
safe work practice and personal protective equipment
(PPE).
12. Replace all devices, doors, and covers before turning
on power to this equipment.
13. In the case of work being performed around the
filter that might result in foreign objects falling inside
the unit, after de-energizing the filter, cover the unit
with a suitable protective drop cloth. The drop cloth
should be removed and the filter visually inspected for
any foreign objects before re-energizing the passive
harmonic filter.
14. Modifications of any kind to the equipment are not
permitted. Besides voiding the warranty, such actions
may result in hazardous situations of which the
person(s) performing the modifications will be solely
liable.
15. The filter contains capacitors. Wait 5 minutes after
de-energization before removing covers and use
a properly rated voltage sensing device to ensure
that no voltage is present before touching internal
components.
