Customer CT requirements
 AHF sensing CT: please install 3 x X/5A, Cl:1.0 15VA CT’s on the main Incomer. The output of
these CT’s to be connected to AHF sensing CT input terminals, X=Maximum load current of
the connected loads.
 Subtraction CT: Please install 3 x Y/1A Cl:1.0 15VA CT’s on the incoming power cable of the
capacitor bank. This CT can be split core CT as required per site conditions.
 Both the above CT’s (AHF main sensing CT & Subtraction CT’s on APFC) should be of same
ratio. Eg. If X=5000A then Y=1000A. So, the same ratio of 1000 is maintained.
 Technical reason for subtraction CT installation: If AHF and APFC are going to be in the same
bus section. AHF should not see APFC as a Load, So APFC Should be subtracted from main
signal input to AHF.
 APFC Relay sensing CT: One number CT to be installed on R phase of main incomer. The CT
Chosen should be Cl:1.0, 15VA Suitable to sense the maximum current at the point of
installation. This CT output to be connected to APFC relay for sensing purpose.
Disclaimers:
 The AHF should not be connected to the same bus where capacitors are connected, also
there should not be capacitor banks downstream to the AHF.
 In case of capacitor banks present in same Bus or downstream, the same must be
subtracted, from the AHF, using additional three CT’s installed on the capacitor bank feeder.
 The sensing CT and Subtraction CT should be of the same ratio.
 The plain capacitor banks must be replaced with detuned capacitor banks. Detuned filter
should be installed before connecting AHF.
 It is recommended, that all non-linear loads ( such as VFD’s and etc ) shall be equipped with
Line chokes, for better performance of Harmonics filters.
 Equipment’s are to be operated in clean industrial atmosphere only (No dust: Metallic or
Non-metallic, no fumes or corrosive or flammable vapours and non-saline atmosphere)
AccuSine+ Features
 Harmonic mitigation 2nd to 51st
 Phase harmonic correction (PCS+), neutral harmonic correction user adjustable upto 3 times
(PCSn)
 Power Factor correction – Capacitive or Inductive load.
 Mains current Load balancing.

ANNEXURE-VI
General guidelines for selection & use of PFC equipment’s:
Normal Service Conditions:
 Equipment’s are to be operated in clean industrial atmosphere only (No dust: Metallic or Non-
metallic, no fumes or corrosive or flammable vapours and non-saline atmosphere)
 Proper ventilation around equipment is to be ensured.
 Operating temperature – 40 ° C, higher operating temp may need derating/additional
ventilation, if possible. Nevertheless, it is recommended to install panels in air cooled/AC rooms,
if design ambient is more than 45 ° C.
 Storage Conditions: Store the equipment in its original packing, in a dry location, sheltered from
rain and sun and at a temperature ranging between -25° C and +55 ° C before installations
LV APFC:
 We recommend to consider De tuned filters if

- the THDV% is above 5% and/or THDI% is above 8%
- the percentage non- linear load (ratio of non -linear load to Transformer rating) is > 20%.
- the Harmonic voltage import is above 5%
 Suitable clearance should be provided around APFC as per our drawing.
 We recommend to avoid mixing APFC with Detuned filters or Tuned filters or Active filters. Risk
of Resonance.
 Ingress of foreign particles, shall not be allowed inside the enclosure of equipment

Hosur Main Road,
Tel: +91-80-67884790
De tuned APFC:
 If the THDV% is above 8% - specially designed detuned reactor is recommended to withstand

higher harmonic stress.
 If the percentage non- linear load (ratio of non -linear load to Transformer rating) is more than
50%, we recommend to consider suitable solution for harmonic mitigation, please contact
Schneider experts for solution.
 Suitable clearance should be provided around De tuned APFC as per our drawing.
 We recommend to avoid mixing De tuned cap bank with Detuned filters or Tuned filters or
Active filters. Risk of Resonance.
 Ingress of foreign particles, shall not be allowed inside the enclosure of equipment
