Chapter 2 Introduction
Active Harmonic Filter PCS+
Active Harmonic Filters (AHF) are static power electronic products. AHF employ digital
logic and IGBT semiconductors to synthesize a current waveform that is injected into
the electrical network to cancel harmonic currents caused by nonlinear loads. AHF
employ current transformers to measure the load current to determine the content of
harmonic current present. By injecting the synthesized current, network harmonic
currents are greatly mitigated. Thus reducing the heating effects of harmonic current
and reducing voltage distortion to permit other equipment to operate properly and enjoy
a long product life span.

AccuSine PCS+ is a three wire product capable of harmonics correction of line to line
connected loads. AccuSine PCS+ is capable of operation with the presence of line to
neutral loads, but will not be able to correct the neutral current and line current
associated with the unconnected neutral.

AHF also have the ability to correct for poor Displacement Power Factor (DPF) and for
mains current balancing. DPF correction can be provided for either leading (capacitive)
or lagging (inductive) loads that cause poor DPF. Mains current balancing is achieved
by measuring the negative sequence current present and injecting the inverse negative
sequence current to balance the current for the upstream network.

Power Factor Correction PFV+


AccuSine PFV+ are static power electronic products. It employ digital logic and IGBT
semiconductors to synthesize a current waveform that is injected into the electrical
network to cancel load induced poor Displacement Power Factor (DPF), phase current
unbalance, and flicker. The DPF correction can be provided for either leading
(capacitive) or lagging (inductive) loads that cause poor DPF. The mains current
balancing is achieved by measuring the negative sequence current present and
injecting the inverse negative sequence currents to balance the current for the network.
Flicker control is provided by rapid detection and injection of reactive current (VARs) to
help to prevent the reactive current from overloading the network that causes rapid
voltage deviations identified as flicker.

AccuSine PFV+ is a three wire product capable of harmonics correction of line to line
connected loads. AccuSine PFV+ is capable of operation with the presence of line to
neutral loads, but will not be able to correct the neutral current and line current
associated with the unconnected neutral.

AccuSine PFV+ also have the ability to monitor the network voltage on which they are
connected and determine the proper amount of VARs to either raise the network
voltage or lower it. AccuSine PFV+ will inject leading VARs to raise the voltage and
lagging VARs to lower the voltage. The entry of appropriate parameters will keep the
network within its stated voltage tolerance level.

Active Harmonic Filter PCSn


Active Harmonic Filters (AHF) are static power electronic products. AHF employ digital
logic and IGBT semiconductors to synthesize a current waveform that is injected into
the electrical network to cancel harmonic currents caused by nonlinear loads. AHF
employ current transformers to measure the load current to determine the content of
harmonic current present. By injecting the synthesized current, network harmonic
currents are greatly mitigated. Thus reducing the heating effects of harmonic current
and reducing voltage distortion.

AHF also have the ability to correct for poor Displacement Power Factor (DPF) and for
mains current balancing. DPF correction can be provided for either leading (capacitive)
or lagging (inductive) loads that cause poor DPF. Mains current balancing is achieved
by measuring the negative and zero sequence current present and injecting the inverse
of those currents to balance the current for the upstream network.

AccuSine PCSn can be powered by three phase conductors to provide corrective


current for Line-to-Line connected loads or by three phase conductors and neutral to
provide correction for Line-to-Line and Line-to-Neutral connected loads. The amount of
correction can be selected to provide neutral current for up to three times the phase
current correction. The neutral wiring must be sized appropriately based on the
selected neutral current correction.

AccuSine PCSn can be either a main unit or an expansion unit. A minimum of one main
unit is required per system. A main unit is easily identified as it is equipped with a HMI.
The HMI permits viewing and changing parameter settings of complete system or any
other unit in the parallel system. The unit has a means for connecting CT secondary
wiring. Expansion units are also available to allow operating a system in parallel for
additional capacity. Adding an expansion unit to a system only requires the connection
of power cabling and a paralleling cable (shielded Cat 5e or greater).

Compensation Mode Screen

Harmonic Mode: Activates/Deactivates the harmonic correction mode.

PF Mode: Activates/Deactivates the Power Factor correction mode.

Optimized PF: When set to OFF, the unit maintains the PF cos(phi) setting. When set
to ON and the load is less than the PF cos(phi) setting, the unit corrects the power factor
to PF cos(phi). If the load PF is greater than the setting, the unit does not compensate

20 JYT20814-00
AccuSine PCS+, PFV+, and PCSn User Manual Chapter 3 - Operation

unless the power factor is set to maintain a Lag power factor and the load becomes
leading. Then, the unit corrects the power factor to a PF cos(phi) of 1.00. If the PF
cos(phi) is set to Lead and the power factor of the load is lagging, the unit corrects to a
PF cos(phi) of 1.00.

Example: With a PF cos(phi) set to 0.98 Lag, the unit maintains a power factor of 0.98
Lag when the corrected load is lagging. If the power factor improves to 0.99, no
compensation is provided. If the connected load produces a leading power factor, the
unit corrects the power factor to 1.00.

PF cos(phi): Target power factor setting.

Load Balancing: Activates/deactivates the load balancing mode.

as shown in the below image.

NOTE:
• Negative Sequence is associated with the unbalanced current due to line-to-line
loads.
• Zero Sequence is associated with the unbalanced current due to line-to-neutral
loads. This setting is available in AccuSine PCSn model only.
Harm Priority: Sets the percentage of the unit’s output to harmonic mitigation when the
system is at or over maximum capacity.

Fund: Displays the percentage of the unit’s rating that is dedicated to correcting
fundamental current as the result of the Harmonic Priority setting. This is
mathematically calculated based on the Harmonic Priority setting.

Harmonic Priority only affects the unit when harmonic mode and at least one other
mode of operation is enabled. When the total current output of the active filter required
exceeds the unit’s rating, harmonic priority determines which mode has priority. With
harmonic priority set to 100%, the unit outputs all current necessary to correct the
harmonic content. Any output capacity left over is used for correcting PF and/or load
balancing. Conversely, with harmonic priority set to 0%, the unit outputs the
fundamental current required for correcting power factor and/or load balancing. Any

JYT20814-00 21
Chapter 3 - Operation AccuSine PCS+, PFV+, and PCSn User Manual

capacity left over is used for harmonic mitigation. When the unit is sized to correct both
harmonic current and fundamental currents, PF, and/or load balancing, this parameter
has no effect.

The total percentage of adding Harmonic priority to fundamental priority can be greater
than 100%. The rated output current of the active filter is equal to the rms-sum of the
harmonic and reactive current injected. The following table provides a representation of
this relationship. All values are in percentage of rated output current.

current available

You can use the following formulas to calculate this current relationship:

IO/P2 = Ih2 + Ir2

- or -

IO/P = SQRT(Ih2 + Ir2)

Where

• IO/P is the total output current of active filter


• Ih is the injected harmonic current of active filter
• Ir is the injected reactive current of active filter
Use these percentages to determine the amount of current available for each function.
Multiply the percentage by the active filter rated current to obtain the approximate
amount of correction provided by the active filter for each function.

Miscellaneous Settings

Auto Start: The unit shuts down when the line voltage drops below 85% of nominal.
With Auto Start ON, the unit automatically returns to RUN condition when the line

and 415 V are automatically detected.
External Transformer: Change this parameter if there is an external transformer
between the active harmonic filter and the voltage bus being corrected. This parameter
is not used for the integrated transformer units. These units are identified by a rating of
600 or 690 volts on the nameplate.

Active filters that are connected to the electrical distribution systems at voltage levels
above the unit's nameplate voltage rating require a transformer to step up the voltage
to the desired level. Auto-transformers, Delta-Delta, and Wye-Wye transformers have
no phase shift. Therefore, the AF= parameter is set to 0 degrees.

NOTE: External Transformer is not allowed on PCSn units.

JYT20814-00 23
Chapter 3 - Operation AccuSine PCS+, PFV+, and PCSn User Manual

If transformers are used with a Delta to Wye configuration, the phase shift must be
entered. Typically transformer manufacturers indicate this in clock face notation. The
Grid side of the transformer is used as the reference and is set to zero or 12 o'clock.

The high voltage side is indicated with a capital letter. “D” indicates the delta winding is
on the high voltage side. A lower case letter indicates the winding type of the low
voltage side; “y” indicates a wye wound low voltage side.

When Harmonic mode is selected, a Target THDi or THDv can be set. Leaving the
Target at zero will result in the unit doing the best possible correction.

AccuSine PFV+ System Mode Setup

When Reactive Mode is OFF, no compensation is selected.

JYT20814-00 55
Chapter 4 - Commissioning and Start-up AccuSine PCS+, PFV+, and PCSn User Manual

Reactive Mode - PF: With PF mode selected, additional parameters available for the
PF mode are displayed.

Optimized PF: When set to OFF, the unit maintains the PF cos(phi) setting. When set
to ON and the load is less than the PF cos(phi) setting, the unit corrects the power factor
to PF cos(phi). If the load PF is greater than the setting, the unit does not compensate
unless the power factor is set to maintain a Lag power factor and the load becomes
leading. Then, the unit corrects the power factor to a PF cos(phi) of 1.00. If the PF
cos(phi) is set to Lead and the power factor of the load is lagging, the unit corrects to a
PF cos(phi) of 1.00.

Example: With a PF cos(phi) set to 0.98 Lag, the unit maintains a Power Factor of 0.98
Lag when the corrected load is lagging. If the power factor improves to 0.99, no
compensation is provided. If the connected load produces a leading power factor, the
unit corrects the power factor to 1.00.

PF cos(phi): Target power factor setting. The power factor can be set for either a
leading or lagging cos(phi).

Load Balancing: When ON, the unit corrects for load imbalance (negative sequence
current).

Reactive Mode - V-Reg: Voltage Regulation Mode. Voltage regulation mode monitors
the voltage and adjusts the reactive current injected to maintain a voltage level.

V-Reg Set Point: Set the desired voltage to be maintained.

56 JYT20814-00
AccuSine PCS+, PFV+, and PCSn User Manual Chapter 4 - Commissioning and Start-up

V-Reg Gain: Adjusts the response time of the voltage regulation. The higher the
percentage of V - Reg Gain, the faster the response is. Faster response increases the
potential for voltage instability of the electrical system.

PF Current Feedforward: When OFF, the CTs are not required for this application.
The unit maintains the V - Reg Set Point based on the terminal voltage of the unit.

When ON, the CTs are required for this application. The unit provides the reactive
current required based on the PF cos(phi) set point resulting from rapid changes in the
load. Adjustments to the reactive power are implemented to maintain the V - Reg Set
Point.

The PF cos(phi) is set to 1.0 by default. Go to System Settings > Compensation Modes
to change the target PF cos(phi) set point.

Load Balancing: When ON, the unit corrects for load imbalance (negative sequence
current).

Reactive Mode - React: Reactive mode provides leading or lagging kVAR based on
the Reactive Target. React Mode does not require the installation of CTs.

Reactive Target can be set either based on kVAR or amperes. Reactive Target can be
set remotely through Modbus.

Load Balancing: When ON, the unit corrects for load imbalance (negative sequence
current). CTs are required when Load Balancing is selected.
