The cross-sectional areas of the cables should be determined in compliance with applicable standards
using the information in the table below and the tables indicating the recommended protective devices
for the various AccuSine SWP ratings.
If the neutral is distributed, it should be sized to take into account the predominant presence of the 3rd
harmonic that can lead to a current in the neutral three times that of the current in the phases.
Note: The minimum cable cross-sectional area can be determined from the sizing current
(Is) given the tables below.

The autotransformer must be connected between the mains and the AccuSine SWP Active Filter.
Note: The position of the sensors and the connection point of the AccuSine SWP Active
Filter may vary from one installation to another depending on the type of problem to be
solved. The optimum locations are determined from the information gathered during the
assessment carried out on the site before installation.
Note: The autotransformer and the AccuSine SWP are connected in parallel with the load.
Note: The AccuSine SWP Active Filter must be powered by a special circuit. The
autotransformer should be protected by a circuit breaker and the line supplying the AccuSine
SWP by fuses. The AccuSine SWP uses this line to send harmonics intended to compensate
the load harmonics back into the mains.
• Each power circuit remains independent and has its own protective device (not supplied).
• It is possible to connect up to 4 active filters in parallel to compensate a given load or
group of loads.
1. Make sure that the circuit breaker on the circuit supplying the AccuSine SWP unit is in the OFF
position ( O ).
2. Connect the PE or PEN conductor first.
3. Connect the other conductors, taking care to respect the phase rotation direction.
WARNING: The connecting cables must be mechanically secured near the terminal
block to prevent any mechanical forces from being exerted on the connections.
Note: If the cables are pulled, the PE or PEN connection should be the last to be subjected
to the applied force.
Note: To avoid interference, control wires connected to the AccuSine SWP unit (connections
with current sensors, communication cables, relay contact wiring) should never be run near
the power cables or the autotransformer. For the same reason, the power cables connected
to the AccuSine SWP Active Filter or the autotransformer should not be run near other
power cables.
