- Check the voltage on all of the reactor's windings (input to output of the same winding, not
between phases). The voltage depends on the filter's p% factor (see label on the
equipment). The voltage must be in accordance with the following formula:

p%=14, V

NOTES:
•
When the consumption of the steps is 25% less than that stated in Table 7-5 and the voltage
is within the tolerance limits, this is a sign of degradation of the capacitors. These must be
replaced with a suitable spare part if these symptoms are detected in a step.
•
When the consumption of the steps is 10% more than the values stated in Table 7-5, this can
be caused by the presence of resonances. If this is detected, measure the grid's voltage THD
(it must be under 5%) or check the filter's tuning frequency.
•
If the voltage drop in a reactor deviates from the values stated in this section, check the
reactor. This phenomenon can be caused by the presence of a resonance.
7.3.3 PF Regulator Checkings.
Refer to the manual of the specific PF regulator used in the filter bank. This
manual is always supplied with the filter bank.
•
Make sure that there are no damaged segments on the display (abnormal brightness).
•
Make sure that regulator's keyboard is working properly:
- Enter Setup and check the adjusted values
- Force the manual connection and disconnection of a step.
7.4 Environmental Conditions:
•
Check that the maximum environmental conditions listed in section 4.3 are observed
