Introduction Operating Instructions
1 1 1 Introduction
1.1 Purpose of the Manual
130BB717.10
These operating instructions provide information for safe
installation and commissioning of the filter.
The operating instructions are intended for use by

qualified personnel.
Read and follow the operating instructions to use the filter
properly, and pay particular attention to the safety M
instructions and general warnings. Keep these operating
instructions available with the filter at all times.

signal processor system. The filter then compensates by
1.3 Product Overview actively imposing signals in counter phase to the
unwanted elements of the current (harmonic distortion).
1.3.1 Working Principle
130BB718.10
The VLT® Advanced Active Filter is used for harmonic
current mitigation and reactive current compensation. The
unit can integrate with various systems and applications as
a centrally installed filter or be combined with a VLT®
frequency converter as a packaged low harmonic drive
solution.
Illustration 1.2 Active Filter Principles
The filter sets different IGBT switches in real time feeding a

DC voltage into the grid, which creates counter phase
signals. A built-in LCL filter smooths the compensated
current waveform, ensuring that the IGBT switching
frequency and DC component is not imposed to the grid.
The filter operates on generator or transformer supply and
can reduce individual motor loads, non-linear loads, or

mixed loads. Non-linear loads (diode feed loads) must hold 1 1

AC coils to protect against overcurrent of the input diodes.

circuit
Illustration 1.3 Block Diagram
The filter allows either overall or selective harmonic

compensation modes. In overall compensation mode, all
harmonics are reduced. In this mode, the filter balances
the load to reduce uneven load distribution among the 3
phases. The steady state performance allows compensation
of harmonics to the 40th order, but the ultra-quick current
injection allows the filter to compensate flicker and other
quick and short-term phenomena. In selective mode, the
user can program acceptable individual harmonic levels
between 5th and 25th order. In selective mode, the filter
does not reduce harmonics in twos and threes, and does
not support phase load balancing and flicker reduction.
See parameter 300-00 Harmonic Cancellation Mode.
Program the filter priority as either reactive current or

harmonic compensation. If harmonic compensation is first
priority, the filter uses the current needed for harmonic
reduction and uses energy for reactive current correction
only if there is excess. The filter automatically and contin-
uously assigns energy between first and second priority to
provide the highest possible mitigation of both reactive
and harmonic compensation. The power factor is
optimised continuously and the supply transformer is used
to its maximum capacity. See parameter 300-01 Compen-
sation Priority.
The active filter has an optional RFI filter for Class A1 equal
to category C2.
1.3.2 IEEE519 Compliance
The active filter is designed to meet IEEE519 recommen-

dation for Isc/Il >20 for even individual harmonic levels.
The filter has a progressive switching frequency that
creates a wide frequency spread, giving lower individual
harmonic levels above the 50th harmonic level.

1 1 1.4 Ordering Information

1.4.1 Filter Configurator
Use the ordering number system to design an active filter according to the application requirements. For the VLT® Active
Filter AAF 006 Series, it is possible to order standard filters and filters with integral options by sending a type code string
describing the product to the local Danfoss sales office. For example: AAF006A190T4E21HXXGCXXXSXXXXAXBXCFXXXDX
This section describes each character in the type code. In the example, a standard 190 A active filter in an enclosure with
IP21 protection rating is selected for a 380–480 V net. The internet-based configurator configures the right filter for the right
application and generates a type code string. The configurator automatically generates an 8-digit sales number to be
delivered to the local sales office. It is also possible to establish a project list with several products and send it to a Danfoss
sales representative. The configurator can be found at www.danfoss.com/BusinessAreas/DrivesSolutions/.

Table 4.2 Allowed Active Filter Mains Cable with Typical Cable Manufacturer Data
Due to the built-in LCL filter, the unit does not feed the main wire with high dU/dt signals. Doing so reduces the radiated
emission through the mains cable. Cable screen/shielding can thus be omitted allowing the mains cables to be connected
without considering EMC requirements.
The active filter can run at long cable runs. Cable length is limited by the voltage drop. It is advised to keep the cable
lengths to less then 200 m.
Active filters have either built-in or customer-supplied fuses. See chapter 4.2.11 Fuses for fuse recommendations. Always
ensure proper fusing according to local regulation.
4.2.2 Grounding
130BB739.11
Consider the following basic issues when installing an
active filter, to obtain electromagnetic compatibility (EMC):
• Safety grounding: The active filter has leakage
current and must be grounded appropriately for
safety reasons. Apply local safety regulations.
• High-frequency grounding: Keep the ground wire

connections as short as possible. 1
• Use high-strand wire to reduce electrical

interference.
• Do not use pigtails.

Connect the different ground systems at the lowest
possible conductor impedance. Obtain the lowest possible
conductor impedance by keeping the conductor as short
as possible and using the greatest possible surface area.
The metal cabinets of the different devices are mounted
on the enclosure back plate using the lowest possible high
frequency impedance. This avoids having different high
frequency voltages for the individual devices and avoids
the risk of radio interference currents running in 1 Ground terminals
connection cables that may be used between the devices.
The radio interference is reduced. To obtain a low HF Illustration 4.2
impedance, use the fastening bolts of the devices as a
high-frequency connection to the back plate. Remove any
insulating paint or similar substances from the fastening
points.

EMC INTERFERENCE
Use screened cables for control wiring. Separate AAF mains input cable from other cables and control wiring. Minimum
200 mm (7.9 in) clearance between mains and control cables is required. Maximise this clearance to minimise EMC
emissions. Doing so reduces the risk of interference between the AAF and other electronic devices.

4.2.4 Extra Protection (RCD)

Individual or group compensation
The compensation of the filter depends on the signal that
is returned from the current transformers. The point of
installation for these sensors is to determine the loads that
are corrected.
Illustration 4.7 shows current transformers installed in front
of the entire installation with the filter compensating all
loads on the transformer. Illustration 4.8 shows current
transformers installed in front of distribution bus 2 and 1
frequency converter, so the filter only compensates for PCC1
those.

M M M
PCC2
Illustration 4.8 CT on Load Side
If the CTs are installed on the secondary side of the

transformer and so in front of the entire load, the filter
compensates all loads simultaneously. See Illustration 4.7.

If, as in Illustration 4.8, the CTs are installed in front of only
130BB514.11
some of the loads, the filter does not compensate
unwanted current deformation of the frequency converter

4.2.8 Auto CT Detection
The active filter performs an auto detection of the installed CT. The CT auto detection can be conducted both while the
system is running and when there is no load. The filter injects a prefixed current of known amplitude and phase angle and
measures the returned CT input. The performance is conducted on each phase individually for several frequencies to check
that phase sequence and RMS are set correctly.
The Auto CT detection is pending on the following conditions:

• Active filter bigger than 10% of CT RMS rate.
4 4 • CTs installed on source (PCC) side (auto CT not possible for load side CT installation).
• Only one CT per phase (not possible for summation CTs).
• CTs are part of below standard range:

1000 1250 1500 2000 2500 3000 3500 4000
Table 4.8 Primary Rating [A]
Most restrictions on the CTs come from the installation, such as required cable length, temperature conditions, square
section of conductors, standard or split core layout, etc. A broad range of different current transformers can be used
independently of brand and type.

5.1.10 RS485 Bus Connection
A frequency converter or active filter can be connected to

a controller (or master) together with other loads using the
RS485 standard interface. Terminal 68 is connected to the
P signal (TX+, RX+), while terminal 69 is connected to the
N signal (TX-, RX-).
To avoid potential equalising currents in the screen,

ground the cable screen via terminal 61, which is
connected to the frame via an RC-link.
5 5
Bus termination
Terminate the RS485 bus via a resistor network at both
ends. If the unit is the first or the last device in the RS485
loop, set the switch S801 on the control card to ON.
5.1.11 Connection to a PC
To program the unit from a PC, install the PC-based

configuration tool MCT 10 Set-up Software.
The PC is connected via a standard (host/device) USB cable
to the unit, or via the RS485 interface.
NOTICE
The USB connection is galvanically isolated from the
supply voltage (PELV) and other high-voltage terminals.
The USB connection is connected to protective ground
on the unit. Use only an isolated laptop as PC
connection to the USB connector.

6.1.2 Paralleling of Active Filters Illustration 6.1 2 Sets of AAFs in Master/Slave
The VLT® Active Filter is designed for installation in

networks with other active infeed current suppliers and so
operate in conjunction with other active filters, UPS’s and
AFE drives. There is no limitation to the allowable number
of units. Four filters can be connected to the same CT
input and run in a master/slave configuration. The master
unit activates the individual slaves according to mitigation
demand in a cascade network. This keeps the switching
losses as low as possible and so improves the system
efficiency. The master unit automatically allocates a new
slave in case a unit is out due to service or has uninten-
tionally tripped.

Terminate each segment at both ends using either the

can be achieved by connecting a large surface of the
screen-to-ground, for example with a cable clamp or a
conductive cable gland. It may be necessary to apply
potential-equalizing cables to maintain the same ground
potential throughout the network, particularly in instal-
lations where there are long lengths of cable.
To prevent impedance mismatch, use the same type of
cable throughout the entire network.

Each character transferred begins with a start bit. Then 8

data bits are transferred, corresponding to a byte. Each
N (-) character is secured via a parity bit. This bit is set at 1
RS485 when it reaches parity. Parity is when there is an equal
number of 1s in the 8 data bits and the parity bit in total.

7.3.6 The Data Field
The structure of data blocks depends on the type of telegram. There are 3 telegram types, and the type applies for both
control telegrams (master⇒follower) and response telegrams (follower⇒master).
The 3 types of telegram are:
Process block (PCD)

The PCD is made up of a data block of 4 bytes (2 words) and contains:
• Control word and reference value (from master to follower).
• Status word and present output frequency (from follower to master).

Maintenance, Diagnostics an... Operating Instructions
8 Maintenance, Diagnostics and Troubleshooting
8.1 Maintenance and Service

Under normal operating conditions and load profiles, the
active filter is maintenance-free throughout its designed
lifetime. To prevent breakdown, danger, and damage,
examine the filter at regular intervals depending on the
operating conditions. Replace worn or damaged parts with
original spare parts or standard parts. For service and
support, refer to www.danfoss.com/contact/
sales_and_services/.
8.2 Warning and Alarm Types

8.2.1 Warnings
A warning is issued when an alarm condition is impending

or when an abnormal operating condition is present and
may result in the active filter issuing an alarm. A warning
clears by itself when the abnormal condition is removed. 8 8
8.2.2 Alarm Trip
An alarm is issued when the active filter is tripped, that is,

the active filter suspends operation to prevent filter or
system damage. After the fault condition is remedied, reset
the active filter. It is then ready to start operation again.
A trip can be reset in any of 4 ways:
• Press [Reset] on the LCP.
• Digital reset input command.
• Serial communication reset input command.
• Auto reset.
8.2.3 Alarm Trip-lock
An alarm that causes the active filter to trip-lock requires

that input power is cycled. The active filter logic continues
to operate and monitors status. Remove input power to
the active filter and correct the cause of the fault, then
restore power. This action puts the active filter into a trip
condition as described in chapter 8.2.2 Alarm Trip and may
be reset in any of the 4 ways.

8.3 Active Filter Warning and Alarm Definitions

NOTICE
After a manual reset pressing [Reset], press [Auto On] or [Hand On] to restart the unit.
If an alarm cannot be reset, the reason may be that its cause has not been rectified, or the alarm is trip-locked (see also
Table 8.1).
Alarms that are trip-locked offer additional protection, meaning that the mains supply must be switched off before the
alarm can be reset. After being switched back on, the unit is no longer blocked and may be reset as described in
chapter 8.2.2 Alarm Trip once the cause has been rectified.
Alarms that are not trip-locked can also be reset using the automatic reset function in 14-20 Reset Mode. Automatic wake-up
is possible during this type of reset.
If a warning and alarm is marked against a code in Table 8.1, either a warning occurs before an alarm, or the display for a
given fault (warning or alarm) is configurable.

Table 8.1 Alarm/Warning Code List
A trip is the action when an alarm has appeared. The trip disables the active filter and can be reset by pressing [Reset] or
resetting via a digital input (parameter group 5-1* Digital Inputs [1] Reset). The origin event that caused an alarm cannot
damage the active filter or cause dangerous conditions. A trip lock is an action when an alarm occurs, which may cause
damage to active filter or connected parts. A trip lock situation can only be reset by a power cycling.

Protection and features

9 9
• Temperature monitoring of the heat sink ensures that the active filter trips if the temperature reaches a predefined
level. An overload temperature cannot be reset until the temperature of the heat sink is below the acceptable
values.
• If a mains phase is missing, the active filter trips.
• The active filter has a short circuit protection current rate of 100 kA if properly fused
• Monitoring of the DC-link voltage ensures that the filter trips if the DC-link voltage is too low or too high.
• The active filter monitors the mains current as well as internal currents to reassure that current levels do not reach
critical levels. If current exceeds a critical level, the filter trips.
