Standard Option (S)
The Standard Option includes high quality harmonic-grade capacitors and line reactors. This filter will
meet the majority of application requirements found today. This cost effective product is available as
an open panel version, in a UL Type 1 enclosure, or in an UL Type 3R enclosure. The open panel is
perfect for inclusion in a MCC section or easy installation into industry standard enclosures. The UL
Type 1 enclosed units maintain the same vertical profile as the open panel design. This design is
perfect for applications where floor space is at a premium. The UL Type 3R enclosure protects the
filter from harsh conditions.
Product Description
HGP S Option Filter
The HGP harmonic filter is a drive-applied harmonic filter designed and developed by TCI to reduce
the harmonic currents drawn from the power source by VFDs. The HGP harmonic filter is for 480 volt
systems (60 Hz). It is suitable for use with 3-phase diode bridge rectifier loads such as PWM AC
VFDs.
The HGP harmonic filter is a passive filter connected in series with the input terminals of a VFD or
several VFDs that operate as a group. It is designed to provide a low impedance path for the major
harmonic currents demanded by the VFD. The filter is a stand-alone device that can be furnished in its
own enclosure and mounted adjacent to the VFD. It is also available on an open panel for mounting
within an enclosure with the VFD or other equipment.
The HGP Standard Option consists of the following standard features and components:
♦ A KDR tuned series reactor.
♦ A TCI 3-phase tuning reactor specifically designed for the HGP filter.
♦ High-endurance, harmonic-rated capacitors.
♦ Bleeder resistors to ensure safe capacitor discharge upon filter shutdown, located on
capacitors.
♦ Cooling fans (on select models) to ensure adequate cooling and safe operating
temperatures.
♦ Control Power transformer on enclosed units requiring auxiliary cooling fans.
♦ Compression terminals for ease and integrity of all power and control wiring.
♦ Fuses
