MFC Kit IOM 1.0 Introduction

1.0 Introduction

The information presented in this manual covers the MFC Sine Wave Filter Kit

only.

Safety Instructions Overview

This section provides the safety instructions which must be followed when installing, operating, and

servicing the MFC Filter Kit. If neglected, physical injury or death may follow, or damage may occur

to the filter or equipment connected to the filter. The material in this chapter must be read and

understood before attempting any work on, or with, the product.

The MFC Filter Kit is intended to be connected to the output terminals of a variable frequency drive

(VFD). An AC motor is connected to the output terminals of the MFC Kit and receives power from

the VFD through the MFC Filter Kit. The instructions, and particularly the safety instructions, for the

VFD, motor and any other related equipment must be read, understood and followed when working

on any of the equipment.

Warnings and Cautions

This manual provides two types of safety instructions. Warnings are used to call attention to

instructions that describe steps that must be taken to avoid conditions that can lead to a serious

fault condition, physical injury, or death.

Cautions are used to call attention to instructions that describe steps that must be taken to avoid

conditions that can lead to a malfunction and possible equipment damage.

Warnings

Readers are informed of situations that can result in serious physical injury and/or serious damage

to equipment with warning statements highlighted by the following symbols:

Warning

Dangerous Voltage Warning: warns of situations where

high voltage can cause physical injury and/or damage

equipment. The text next to this symbol describes ways

to avoid the danger.

Warning

General Warning: warns of situations that can cause

physical injury and/or damage equipment by means

other than electrical. The text next to this symbol

describes ways to avoid the danger.

Warning

Electrostatic Discharge Warning: warns of situations in

which an electrostatic discharge can damage

equipment. The text next to this symbol describes ways

to avoid the danger.

Cautions

Readers are informed of situations that can lead to a malfunction and possible equipment damage

with caution statements:

Caution

General Caution: identifies situations that can lead to a

malfunction and possible equipment damage. The text

describes ways to avoid the situation.

MFC Kit IOM 1.0 Introduction

General Safety Instructions

These safety instructions are intended for all work on the MFC Filter Kit. Additional safety

instructions are provided at appropriate points on other sections of this manual.

Warning

Be sure to read, understand, and follow all safety

instructions.

Warning

Only qualified electricians should carry out all electrical

installation and maintenance work on the MFC Filter Kit.

Warning

All wiring must be in accordance with the National

Electrical Code (NEC) and/or any other codes that apply

to the installation site.

Warning

Disconnect all power before working on the equipment.

Do not attempt any work on a powered MFC Filter Kit.

Warning

The MFC Filter Kit, drive, motor, and other connected

equipment must be properly grounded.

Warning

After switching off the power, always allow 5 minutes for

the capacitors in the MFC Filter Kit and in the drive to

discharge before working on the MFC Kit, the drive, the

motor, or the connecting wiring. It is a good practice to

check with a voltmeter to make sure that all sources of

power have been disconnected and that all capacitors

have discharged before beginning work.

MFC Kit Instructions 2.0 General Information

2.0 General Information

Thank you for selecting the MFC Filter Kit. TCI has produced this filter for use in many VFD

applications that require output voltage filtering. This manual gives an overview of how to install,

operate and maintain the MFC Filter Kit. Please contact TCI Technical Support or visit

https://transcoil.com/Support for additional information

Intended Audience

This manual is intended for use by all personnel responsible for the assembly, wiring installation,

operation and maintenance of the MFC Filter Kit. Such personnel are expected to have knowledge of

electrical wiring practices, electronic components and electrical schematic symbols. Panel design using

a TCI MFCFilter Kit should be performed with appropriateengineering supervisionso the design meets

the requirements based on materials utilized in the construction of the panel, wiring practices followed

by your shop, and the actual ambient conditions of the components for each application.

Receiving Inspection

The MFC Filter Kit has been thoroughly inspected at the factory and carefully packaged for

shipment. When you receive the unit, you should immediately inspect the shipping container and

report any damage to the carrier that delivered the unit. Verify that the part number of the

components you received is the same as the part numbers listed on the engineering drawings for

the kit which can be found at:

https://transcoil.com/products-kmg-mfcdrawings-htm/

Storage Instructions

If the MFC Filter Kit is to be stored before use, be sure that it is stored in a location that conforms

to published storage humidity and temperature specifications in this manual and on the applicable

technical drawings available at: transcoil.com. Store the unit in its original packaging.

MFC Kit Instructions 3.0 Pre-Installation Planning

3.0 Pre-Installation Planning

Verify the Application

MFC Filter Kit Rating

Make sure that the MFC Filter Kit is correct for the application. The voltage rating of the filter kit

must match the voltage and current rating of the connected drive. The horsepower and current

rating of the filter kit must be appropriate for the connected load.

Product Description

The MFC Filter kit is a low-pass sine wave filter designed and developed by TCI to deliver

conditioned power to motor loads driven by PWM drives at a variety of lead lengths. The MFC Kit

is available for 460/480 Volt and 575/600 Volt systems.

The MFC Filter kit is a passive filter connected in series with the output terminals of the variable

frequency drive. It is designed to remove the carrier frequency distortion from the output voltage

waveform. The use of this low-pass filter will result in a nearly pure sine wave voltage profile. This

design will reduce the effects of the reflected wave phenomenon, (dV/dt), such as insulation

damage or premature failure in motors, transformers, and VFD output cables. The MFC Filter Kit

will also reduce the effects of stray high frequency harmonic currents, thereby reducing VFD ground

fault problems and noise interference in transducer signals.

The MFC Filter Kit is suitable for all lead lengths extending as far as 15,000 feet.

The MFC Filter Kit consists of the following standard features and components:

•A TCI 3-phase line reactor specifically designed for high PWM ripple current from the

sine wave filter application

•High-endurance, PWM current ripple rated capacitors

•Capacitor bleeder resistors to ensure safe capacitor discharge upon filter shutdown.

•Brackets for mounting capacitors to a panel (only for kits above 50 Amps)

•Damping resistors (optional)

•PQconnect monitoring and communications (optional)
