System components for assembly and retrofitting star, installation in the transformer star point The third harmonic filter star is both economical and compact solution to be used in highly concentrated third harmonic currents. The filter is mitigating third harmonic current and emission voltage towards the line side. The filter can be installed near the transformer station in universal outdoor enclosure, in empty field of the transformer station, in main switchboard or as a separate unit. The third harmonic filter star is installed in the neutral or conductor between the non-earthed transformer star point and the neutral busbar of the main switchboard. DIMESIOIG: According to the supply transformer. PROTECTIO: The protection unit S_ shall be used, when the thermal unbalance current exceeds the -rating and when the T-S-system needs to be monitored. SA L L L (), installation in T-S system in the neutral conduction of the distribution panel The third harmonic filter or star is designed for mitigating third harmonic current and emission voltage towards the line side of the common coupling or group in the T-S-system. The filter is installed in the outgoing group of T-Ssystem, in the outgoing neutral conductor of an UPS-device or in the lighting panel in centralised compensation. The filter is installed in the neutral conductor, while the measuring transformer is installed to the -conductor. Prior to the installation, the purity of T-S-system in the group needs to be measured. The and -conductor of the outgoing group shall not be connected. This condition shall always be monitored. In T-S-system we recommend to assemble the star filter between the transformer star point and and neutral conductor. In this case there is no Hz voltage between neutral and -conductor. DIMESIOIG: According to the supply transformer or fuse. PROTECTIO: The protection unit S_ shall be used, when the thermal unbalance current exceeds the -rating and when the T-S- system needs to be monitored. SA L L L Low Voltage Products

Selection and dimensioning of the product range Third harmonic filters star and The size of the -filters is selected according to the supply transformer or back up fuses. The protection unit needs to be used, in case the dimensioning exceeds the thermal rating of the filter. The basis of dimensioning is that the filter withstands the Hz voltage and the fundamental neutral current generated by the phase unbalance. The star filters are tested according to the highest possible short circuit current or back up fuse. The filter is not suitable for applications including largely dimmer loads. Please consult with us. The filter is not suitable for applications including largely dimmer loads. Please consult with us.

For example the neutral current reduces from A down to A and in the phase conductors from A to A. The same mitigation prevails in the whole network from the transformer windings to the lamps and computers. The magnetic field from the construction and earthing wiring reduces typically by % due to mitigation of the vagabonding currents (% of magnetic field usually of Hz origin). The iron, copper and resistance losses reduce the temperature and noise level of the supply transformer doubling the lifetime of the transformer by every degrees C. The filter reduces the resistance losses (I R). For example: before (A) x, Ω = W, filter installed (A) x, Ω =, W (other losses not included). The filter include protection unit, which limit the Hz unbalance current and Hz fault current. Low Voltage Products
