g GE Capacitor & Power Quality Products 6. FILTER DESCRIPTION The GE Matrix Filter is a low pass filter containing proprietary technology, which makes it particularly useful for harmonic mitigation of adjustable speed drives. Figure 38 shows a block diagram of the filter. Three phase AC power is connected to the input section which contains a three phase AC reactor and circuitry which inhibits oscillation of the filter with the AC power system.

g GE Capacitor & Power Quality Products 7. START-UP Safety Precautions Before startup, observe the following warnings and instructions: WARNING Internal components of the filter are at line potential when the filter is connected to the utility. This voltage is extremely dangerous and may cause death or severe injury if you come in contact with it. WARNING After disconnecting the utility power, wait at least 5 minutes before doing any work on the filter connections.
g GE Capacitor & Power Quality Products 3. Check that moisture has not condensed on the filter components. If moisture is present, do not proceed with startup until the moisture has been removed. 4. Disconnect the filter output from the drive. 5. Connect the filter to the utility. WARNING Use extreme caution to avoid contact with line voltage when checking for power. INJURY OR DEATH MAY RESULT IF SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ARE NOT OBSERVED. 6.
g GE Capacitor & Power Quality Products TROUBLESHOOTING WARNING WARNING When properly installed, this equipment has been designed to provide maximum safety for operating personnel. However, hazardous voltages exist within the confines of the enclosure. Servicing should therefore be performed by qualified personnel only and in accordance with OSHA Regulations. HIGH VOLTAGE IS USED IN THE OPERATION OF THIS FILTER.
g GE Capacitor & Power Quality Products TROUBLESHOOTING - continued PROBLEM: Harmonic current distortion exceeds 8% on one or more phases at full load. Possible cause: On filters rated 52 amps and above, the capacitor assembly has not been connected. Solution: Check interconnection of capacitor assembly with reactor panel (Figure 26). Possible cause: A capacitor has failed. Solution: Inspect the tops of all capacitors for bowing. Replace failed capacitors.
g GE Capacitor & Power Quality Products TROUBLESHOOTING - continued PROBLEM: Harmonic current distortion exceeds 5% on one or more phases at full load. Possible cause: Source impedance is less than 1.5%. Solution Add a minimum 1.5% impedance line reactor to the filter input Possible cause: Input source voltage harmonic distortion. Solution Identify equipment causing harmonic voltage distortion and add filters as required or accept elevated THVD Possible cause: Line voltage unbalance exceeds 1%.
