1.
The harmonic correction unit shall be designed to electronically inject harmonic current to
cancel load produced harmonic current such that the upstream power harmonic current and
voltage are reduced to below 5% TDD and 5% THD (V) as defined by ANSI IEEE standard
519-1992 for load demand and voltage distortion limits. TDD as used herein refers to the
total load demand of the applied circuit. The applied circuit may be a single nonlinear load,
an entire distribution bus load, or the facility load at the Point-of-Common Coupling (PCC)
2.
Reactive current compensation (displacement power factor correction) shall be activated via
a digital keypad/display mounted on the door of the enclosure. When reactive current
compensation is activated, the harmonic correction unit shall first perform harmonic current
correction and then use the remaining capacity to inject reactive current compensation to the

detrimental harmonic and/or reactive currents. A DC bus shall store power for power
semiconductor switching. A microprocessor shall control the operation of the power converter
5/20/2014
PAGE 18 OF 22
Each unit shall be designed with a current limiting function to protect the semiconductors.

condition, except line loss, the display shall state the type of fault and indicate that
automatic restart will occur. The run relay and run LED shall be disabled. The fault
relay shall not be enabled unless time out occurs. Upon AC line loss, the power-on
relay shall be disabled and no display shall be provided.
b. All other types of faults shall be considered critical and stop the power correction
system. The display shall indicate the fault condition and STOP. The run LED and
relay shall be disabled and the fault relay enabled. User shall be required to initiate a
power reset (turn power OFF and ON) to restart the power correction system.
5.
The logic of the harmonic correction unit shall monitor the load current by utilizing two (2)
current transformers (CTs) mounted on phases A and B to direct the function of the power
electronic converter. A third current transformer is required if single-phase or three-phase
line-to-neutral connected loads are present downstream from the location of the CTs. The
ratio of the CTs must be entered into the logic via the digital keypad/display to calibrate the
operation of the power correction system. The output of the current transformers shall be 5
amperes
6.
Up to three (3) harmonic correction units may be installed in parallel to inject current
according to the information received from one set of CTs. The units will function
independently. If one unit is stopped or faulted, the remaining units will adjust accordingly to
maintain optimum harmonic cancellation levels up to the capacity of the remaining units
