Location; Installation - HPS Centurion P Guía De Instalación, Operación Y Mantenimiento

Location

Similar to other electrical devices, when choosing a
physical location for the HPS Centurion P Passive Harmonic
Filter, consideration must be given to accessibility,
ventilation, and atmospheric conditions. Provide sufficient
clearance from walls and other obstructions in order to
permit access for removing covers and panels for wiring
terminations, inspection, maintenance, and testing.
The installation location must be free of contaminants
including dust, excessive moisture, corrosive agents,
flammable materials, chemical fumes and/or any type
of airborne particles. Since the HPS Centurion P Passive
Harmonic Filter is categorized as an ANN (Air, Natural
Convection Cooled) electrical device, any blockage of
air could cause the unit to overheat and fail. Therefore,
utilization of "filtered air" is highly recommended. Clean
air will allow the unit maintain its performance and reduce
maintenance procedure. At least 6 inches (155 mm) of
separation is required between any of the ventilated sides
of the enclosure and the adjacent surfaces. In closed
rooms, minimum air circulation of 100 ft
kilowatt of loss must be provided. The maximum ambient
temperature should never exceed 40°C (104 °F).

Installation

DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION OR ARC
FLASH
Failure to follow these Installation instructions and all
applicable local and national codes when installing
and connecting a passive harmonic filter will result
in death or serious injury and/or substantial property
damage.
Prior to installation of any electrical product, it is
recommended to verify the technical specification of the
product marked on its designated nameplate against what
was purchased. HPS Centurion P Passive Harmonic Filter
enclosures are designed and built in accordance with the
applicable NEMA and UL standards. Depending on the
environmental condition under which the HPS Centurion
P Passive Harmonic Filter is required to work, available
options are sprinkler proof (Type 3R) or Open Style (no
enclosure). The rating of the enclosure is indicated on
the nameplate of the unit. If the HPS Centurion P Passive
Harmonic Filter is to be installed in altitudes higher than
3,300 ft. (1,000 m) above sea level, a correction factor,
as shown in the following chart, must be applied to its
nameplate rating.
Note: The correction factors shown are in accordance
with the ANSI C57.12.01-1998 standard.

sea level should be derated for use as a 40 HP unit (50 HP
x 0.80 = 40 HP)
designed to be used in conjunction with three-phase,
three-wire VFDs (Variable Frequency Drives) or other
harmonic producing loads with 6-pulse rectifiers. It is
imperative that the unit is installed in the specific position
in relation to the VFD as shown in the following single
line diagram. The filter should just provide power to a
specific VFD or non-linear load. Linear loads should not
be powered by the filter. If the VFD is bypassed then the
HPS Centurion P Passive Harmonic Filter should also be
bypassed.
