    HG7 ST DRIVE-APPLIED HARMONIC FILTER

    SAMPLE BIDDING SPECIFICATIONS

    1.0 GENERAL

    1.1 The HG7 ST DRIVE-APPLIED HARMONIC FILTER (hereafter called an "HG7") shall
    contain a tuned circuit designed to remove harmonics generated by a VFD in a
    power distribution system while improving the system power-factor. The HG7 is
    designed to minimize the possibility of system problems associated with power-
    factor correction in the presence of harmonic distortion.

    1.2 HG7 consists of inductive and capacitive elements arranged in a series


    configuration and tuned to resonate just below the harmonic frequency for
    which it is designed to filter. The HG7 has its minimum impedance at the
    tuning frequency. At frequencies above the tuning frequency, the HG7’s
    impedance is inductive; therefore, it cannot adversely react with the
    parasitic inductance of the power system. The inductance in the HG7, combined
    with the series line reactor, acts to limit current surges between the
    capacitor and other plant electrical equipment and shall minimize the
    possibility of equipment or capacitor damage due to such surges.

    1.3 The fusing, tuning reactor and capacitor shall be in parallel with the VFD.
    The VFD shall remain operational in the event of a failure of the capacitors
    or other condition causing the fuses to open. The voltage regulation at the
    VFD terminals and attributable to the filter shall not exceed 5%. Filters with
    greater than 10% voltage drop, and/or filters that have capacitors in series
    with the VFD, are not acceptable.

    1.4 The HG7 described in this specification shall be used on a _____V, 3-phase,
    60 Hz system. The HG7 shall be rated in accordance with the VFD Schedule and
    shall be tuned to 4.7 times the fundamental frequency. The HG7 shall be
    listed by Underwriter’s Laboratories as an Industrial Control Panel as
    governed by UL508A.

    1.5 The HG7 shall be manufactured by TCI (TCI, LLC).

    1.6 Submittals shall include the following information:

     Outline dimensions, conduit entry locations and weight.

     Customer connection and power wiring diagrams.

     Complete technical product description.

    2.0 COMPONENTS

    2.1 HIGH-ENDURANCE CAPACITOR CELLS

    2.1.1 Only standard, non-custom capacitors shall be used for availability.

    2.1.2 High-endurance capacitor cells shall have a voltage rating capable of


    handling continuously the nominal system voltage plus 10% of the over
    voltage tolerance. These capacitor cells shall also operate under the worst
    case voltage gain due to the leading nature of the capacitive current.
    Dielectric material shall be low-loss (less than 0.25 watts per kVAR).
    High-endurance capacitor cells themselves shall be rated to operate at a
    temperature of 65°C on the capacitor case.

    2.1.3 High-endurance capacitor cells shall be contained in hermetically sealed


    metal cans.

    2.1.4 High-endurance capacitor cells shall have a UL mandated, pressure-


    sensitive interrupter which, in case of a hazardous internal pressure
    increase, will disconnect all three phases simultaneously. And shall be
    recognized or listed under UL810.

    2.1.5 Individual high-endurance capacitor cells, or groups of cells, shall be


    provided with a 3-phase, discharge resistor network. The resistors shall
    be sized to reduce residual voltage to less than 50V within one minute of
    de-energization (NEC article 460-6).

    2.1.6 The RMS current in each capacitor cell at full load shall not exceed
    150% of the current at no load to limit the stress on the capacitors.

    2.2 INDUCTORS

    2.2.1 Both tuning inductors and series line reactors shall be designed for
    harmonic filtering service and for slowing the rate of rapid current
    changes. The inductors shall be UL recognized components and shall be built
    to comply to UL 508. Construction shall be copper wire wound on magnetic
    steel cores. Inductors shall be three-phase. Series line reactors shall be
    sized appropriately for the total connected load. Design maximum
    temperature rise for inductors shall be 115°C on bobbin wound and 155°C on
    form wound devices at rated current.

    2.2.2 The core shall be made of laminated, magnetic steel (grade M36 or
    better). Brackets shall be ASTM structural steel or structural aluminum.
    Coils shall be wedged in place and the core shall be locked in place using
    vertical ties or rods.

    2.2.3 Windings shall consist of copper wire or of copper foil. Terminations


    shall be copper alloy ring lugs, UL-recognized terminal blocks, or solid
    copper bus. Sheet insulation shall be DuPont Nomex 410, or IPT Cequin of
    the thickness as required for UL insulation systems.

    2.2.4 Completed inductors shall be impregnated, using 100% solid epoxy resin.
    All insulation varnish systems shall be UL recognized and rated class H
    (180°C) or class R (220°C), 600V. Inductors shall be Hi-Pot tested (2,640V,
    60 Hz, 1 second) line-to-line and line-to-ground.

    2.2.5 Inductors shall be air-gapped to avoid control point saturation.


    Inductance shall be measured and shall be within -2% to +8% of design value
    for the tuning reactor and  20% of the design value for the series line
    reactor.

    2.3 INTERFACE WITH DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM

    2.3.1 Unless otherwise specified, crimpless, UL-recognized or listed, field-


    wiring terminal lugs shall be provided for electrical connection of the
    harmonic filter to the 3-phase line. An internal grounding lug shall also
    be provided.

    2.3.2 When used, distribution blocks shall be rated for copper wire and shall
    be UL-recognized or listed.

    2.3.3 Lugs shall be one-piece construction of cold-forged, pure electrolytic


    copper with 99% conductivity or of plated high-strength aluminum alloy.
    They shall be rated for copper wire. Lugs shall be UL-recognized or listed
