5.2. COOLING TURBINES AND FANS

The cooling fans and turbines must work properly to avoid

overheating in the active filter components.

Table 11

gives the number of fans and/or turbines required to cool the inductors

and the semiconductors according to the active filter model.

Table 11 : Cooling components depending on the active filter model.

The following symptoms in the behaviour of the filter can indicate wear in the

fans or turbines:

 Increased noise in the fan / turbine.
 Increased temperature in the unit under the same environmental

conditions and load.

 The AFQ-4W periodically indicates the temperature alarm.

If any sign of wear is detected, the affected fan/turbine should be replaced.
