Step 4: Basic Commissioning Parameters Set Up (Using Pqf-Manager) - ABB PQFM Instruction Manual

WARNING: In a multi-unit filter arrangement, care must be taken to connect all units to
the power supply in an identical way (individual phases and phase rotation).
Otherwise, the filter will trip immediately after start-up.
If in normal operation the voltage phase rotation of a master cubicle is not clockwise,
the filter when started will refuse to start indicating a fault in the filter event log (Cf.
Section 7.8.3). 'ACK. FAULT' will be shown on the PQF-Manager 'Welcome' screen.
If the voltage rating and phase rotation check is successful, and the auxiliary transformer
tap setting has been adapted to the network voltage, auxiliary power can be applied to
the active filter. It is advised however to first install the other I/O cabling if required.
Restore the protective grid before applying voltage to the filter.
When the auxiliary fuse holder is closed and power is applied to the filter:
- The filter fans will start running.
- The filter controllers will be activated.
- The PQF-Manager will initialize and show the Welcome-screen (Cf.
show a screen indicating that it is in slave mode.
If the voltage level or phase rotation is incorrect, the installation should be corrected
before applying power to the filter to avoid potential filter malfunctioning and/or
damage.
8.5 Step 4: Basic commissioning parameters set up (using PQF-
Manager)
In order to set up the basic commissioning parameters with the PQF-Manager, navigate
to [/Welcome/Settings/Commissioning] (Cf.
menus of the PQF-Manager is given in
The complete commissioning must be done at the first installation of a filter system and
each time a filter unit is added to an existing filter system.
If the window or some of its items are locked (i.e. a small
present on the screen), the hardware and/or software lock has been engaged. Refer to
Section 7.6 for more information on these features and for guidelines on how to unlock
the filter setting menus.
Note: In active filter systems consisting of more than one master, the PQF-Manager of
the master that has the control over the system has full functionality and the PQF-
Managers of the other master units have limited functionality. In practice, the functions
that are not enabled on these units are also locked.
In the commissioning window, the following basic parameters have to be specified:
- The network characteristics (Cf.
The parameters to enter are the nominal network voltage, network frequency and
filter synchronisation mode. The filter synchronisation mode shall normally not
be changed unless specifically instructed by the ABB service provider.
