1.4 Intended Use

The Danfoss Advanced Active Filter AAF 007 is used for harmonic current mitigation and reactive current compensation, and for
mains voltage balancing. The unit can be integrated in various systems and applications as a centrally installed filter, or it can be
combined with a VLT®, VACON®, or iC7 drive as a packaged low-harmonic drive solution.
The active filter monitors all 3-phase line currents and processes the measured current signal via a digital signal processor system.
The filter then compensates by actively imposing signals in counterphase to the unwanted elements of the current (harmonic dis-
tortion).

e30bk830.10
Illustration 1: Active Filter Principles
The filter sets different Silicon Carbide (SiC) switches in real time feeding a DC voltage into the grid, which creates counterphase
signals. A built-in line filter smooths the compensated current waveform, ensuring that the MOSFET switching frequency and DC
component is not imposed to the grid. The filter can operate on generator or transformer supply and can reduce individual motor
loads, non-linear loads, or mixed loads. Consider protection for non-linear loads.

Different priorities on the compensation modes can be selected for the filter. In harmonics only (H), the full capacity is utilized to
reduce the harmonic current content of the mains at the connection point up to the 60th order. In harmonic and reactive power
mode (HR), all capacity that is not used for harmonic current mitigation will be utilized for reactive power compensation on the
fundamental, either a fixed value for VA or towards a programmed displacement factor.
As default, the filter will try to obtain a power factor of 1 when reactive power compensation is turned ON.
If additional unbalanced load on the mains is to be balanced, this can be done with 3rd priority in HRU mode.
For information about settings of the respective compensation modes, refer to 8.1.4.1.1 Settings - Harmonic Detection Modes.
1.5 Resonance Detection

As the Advanced Active Filter AAF 007 is an active switching device, it can affect the impedance of the connected network. This
effect is intentionally used to reduce the harmonic content of the mains current and to reduce the harmonic content of the mains
voltage. At the same time, the change of impedance can impact resonance frequencies of the local installations, which can have
positive effects when a critical frequency is muted. On the other hand, existing resonance frequencies can be amplified by an active
filter. This amplification is omitted by the AAF 007 by using an automatic resonance detection. This detection spots existing reso-
nances and prevents further amplification of the same. Compensation mode Auto uses the resonance detection algorithm. Alterna-
tively, manual tuning of the filter enables resonance-free operation.

Operating Guide Product Overview (Hardware)
4 Product Overview (Hardware)

4.1 35 A and 55 A Filter Modules
The Advanced Active Filter AAF 007 35 A and 55 A filter modules share the same mechanical enclosure. All connections for mains,
current sensors, communication, and control signals are accessible from the bottom of the filter.
The connections for L1, L2, L3, and N are in the bottom towards the front side of the filter, while the PE screw connection is at the
bottom backside of the chassis and clearly marked. Pay attention to the use of the Neutral terminal as it may cause malfunction if it
is not done according to the parameter setup. Refer to section 7.4.3 Three- and Four-wire Systems for further information.
Terminals for current transducers, communication wires, and external power off wires are at the backside of the bottom. The techni-
cal functionalities of these terminals are described in section 5.6 Control Terminals.
Each filter module is equipped with internal fans that guide fresh air through the bottom grills along the cooling body of the top
grills on the enclosure. Filter modules can be mounted vertically above each other inside a cabinet. However, it is important to pro-
vide sufficient airflow to avoid that the filter overheat. Furthermore, it must be avoided that preheated air from the lower module is
sucked into the upper-mounted filter. Refer to section 6.3 Cabinet Integration for more information.

4.2 IP20 70–440 A Filters, Based on 55 A and 35 A Modules

The Advanced Active Filter AAF 007 is offered in variants from 35–440 A. All units ≥70 A consist of 35 A and 55 A units for parallel
installation. All modules of a filter share 1 set of current transducers, which can be connected in series or in parallel to the modules.
Series installation is preferred to give the best signal quality and is therefore the standard configuration in the filter. Running current
transducers in parallel requires setup changes, see section 8.3.
The IP20 cabinet version must be installed in an additional enclosure or wall mounted in a secured, locked room.

Illustration 5: 220 A Filter
Each module has its own control unit and operates independently. All signal processing and compensation calculations are done by
each filter module allowing them to work independently even if running in parallel. A setting in the module allows setting of load
sharing and sharing of the CT signal between multiple filters. See sections 7.5 Current Transducer Dimensions and 8.3 for more in-
formation.
It is recommended to leave a gap of 1 mm between the modules for easier access if service is required.

a 3rd current transducer is required on phase 2.
The impedance of the filter module at the current transducer terminals is 5.5 mΩ.
The Advanced Active Filter AAF 007 current transducer input is designed for a secondary current rating of 5 A.
Accuracy class 0.5 or better is required to guarantee the specified harmonic mitigation performance.
For more information regarding selection and installation of current transducers, refer to 7.4 Current Transducers Considerations.

6.1.1 Planning the Installation Site

To select the most appropriate installation site, consider the following:
• Ambient temperature conditions.
• Altitude at the installation point.
• Installation and compensation method.
• Cooling.
• Position of the active filter.
• Current transducer installation point and possibility to reuse existing current transducers.
• Cable routing and EMI conditions.
• Ensure that the filter rating matches the grid voltage and frequency.
• Ensure that the external fuses are rated correctly.
6.1.2 Receiving the Unit

When receiving the unit, ensure that the packaging is intact and note any damage that may have occurred during transport. If there
are signs of damage, immediately contact the shipping company to file a complaint.
Before unpacking the active filter, place it as close to its final installation site as possible. To avoid damage, keep the filter boxed and
on the pallet as long as possible.

The Advanced Active Filter AAF 007 modules are rated IP20/open type. To minimize the risk of electrical and fire hazards, install the
filter in a supplementary enclosure.
6.2.3 Clearance Requirements

To allow airflow and cable access, ensure that there is sufficient space above and below the unit. Filters can be installed side by side
with other AAF 007 filters but require a minimum of 100 mm clearance to other equipment to ensure proper functionality in respect
to electromagnetical interference and heat dissipation.

6.3 Cabinet Integration

The cabinet integration of the Advanced Active Filter AAF 007 is effortless due to the little weight and dimension of the modules.
They can be integrated side by side, but also on top of each other to allow for a small footprint of the cabinet.
Side-by-side installation allows a possible lower cabinet or integration of multiple other options below the filter, such as mains
breakers, branch protection, individual fuse disconnect, or circuit breakers.
In the cabinet door, it is possible to integrate LEDs that indicate the state of the filter module on the outside of the cabinet.
26 | Danfoss A/S © 2023.06 AQ448528300938en-000101 / 130R1342

Both underpressure and overpressure cabinets can be used for integration of the AAF 007. In some integration designs, a rooftop
fan can be more efficient than door fans. For more information on general considerations for positioning of fans, grids, and filters in
the cabinet, refer to section 6.4.2.
The following illustration shows a simplified example of a 1000 mm (39 in) cabinet with 8 filter modules, rooftop fans, and a handle
for the mains breaker.
e30bk834.10
Illustration 9: Example of Cabinet Integration of a 440 A Filter
6.4 Cooling and Airflow

The Advanced Active Filter AAF 007 has 3 inbuilt fans for cooling which guide the cool air from the bottom of the filter through the
filter to the outlet at the top. The fans are controlled as functions of operation condition and internal temperatures.
Each filter module requires a minimum volume flow of 160 m3/h at maximum load for proper heat dissipation. This specification
shall be considered when designing the cooling for the installation location.
When filter modules are to be placed on top of each other, pay extra attention to the warm excess air of the lower filter modules. As
the warm air of the lower filter module must not be taken in by the upper filter modules, it must be passed by the upper filter. A
recommended method is to guide the warm air behind the upper row of filter modules to the top of the installation location as
illustrated in Illustration 10.

e30bk851.10
Illustration 10: Airflow Considerations when Modules are Installed Above Each Other
6.4.1 Overpressure and Underpressure Cabinets

Cabinets can be designed as overpressure or underpressure cabinets. This means that fresh air can either be pushed actively into
the cabinet from the lower part of the door and let out at the top part of the door. Alternatively, the warm air could be pulled out
actively via the cabinet top generating underpressure and thereby pulling in fresh air.
Overpressure cabinets are often preferred in outdoor applications or environments with minor air quality to avoid dust and particles
inside the cabinet.
When designing overpressure cabinets, pay special attention to the flow of warm air in the top part of the cabinet to eliminate heat
pockets. To avoid derating of the filter due to high temperature, ensure that the excess heat of the filters does not circulate in the
top of the cabinet. Depending on layout and positioning of the filter modules, mechanics for guiding the warm air secure proper
heat transmission.
6.4.2 Positioning of Door Fans and Rooftop Fans

When designing underpressure cabinets, 1 or more fans are used to push the warm air out of the cabinet. It is usually the smoothest
approach to dissipate the heat from the cabinet. To secure good cooling, some aspects of fan location are important:
• Intake grills in the door must be located below the lowest-installed filter.
• Door fans must be located above the highest-installed filter.

e30bk833.10
Illustration 11: Underpressure Cabinet with Door Fan
The illustration shows the relative positions of filter, air intake grills, and fans.
When filters are stacked in a cabinet, or there are space constraints that do not allow placing a door fan higher than the filter, a roof
top fan is recommended to secure proper heat dissipation as shown in Illustration 10.

Electrical Installation
7 Electrical Installation Considerations

7.1 Power Connections
The conductor mainly carries currents of high frequencies so the distribution is not evenly dispersed throughout the cross-section
of the conductor. This is due to 2 independent effects known as the skin effect and the proximity effect. Both effects require derat-
ing, and so the mains cable of the active filter has to be rated at a higher current than the filter rating itself.
The required derating is calculated as 2 separate factors:
• The skin effect depends on current frequency, cable material, and cable dimensions.
• The proximity effect depends on the number of conductors, diameters, and distance between the individual cables.
The specifications of the optimized mains cable are:
• copper wires
• single conductors
• busbars
Copper affects skin less than aluminum, and busbars have a larger surface area than cables, reducing the skin effect factor. Proximity
effects of single conductors are negligible.
A factor of 1.2 should be applied to the nominal RMS current of a filter to determine the mains cross-section for a copper connec-
tion. An additional factor of 1.2 should be applied for aluminum connections.
7.1.1 Grounding
To obtain electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), consider the following when installing an active filter:
• High-frequency grounding: Keep the ground wire connections as short as possible.
• Use high-strand wire to reduce electrical interference.
• Do not use pigtails.
Connect the different ground systems at 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 prevents having different high-frequency voltages for the individual de-
vices, and it prevents the risk of radio interference currents running in connection cables that may be used between devices. Thus,
radio interference is reduced. To obtain a low high-frequency impedance, use the fastening bolts of the devices as high-frequency
connection to the back plate. Remove any insulating paint or similar substances from the fastening points.

7.2 Fuses and Branch Protection

Branch circuit protection
To protect the installation against electrical and fire hazards, all branch circuits in an installation, switchgear, machines, and more
must be short-circuit and overcurrent-protected according to national/international regulations.
Either fuses or circuit breakers can be used for branch protection in front of the filter.
Table 10: Recommended Fuse Types
IEC UL Minimum SCCR Maximum SCCR
35 A filter module gG, 60 A Class J or T, 60 A 1.6 kA 100 kA
55 A filter module gG 80, 80 A Class J or T, 80 A 2 kA 100 kA
Short-circuit protection
Each filter module is equipped with internal semi conductor fuses to protect the device and avoid electrical or fire hazards.
7.3 Network Topologies

The Advanced Active Filter AAF 007 is capable of operating on various mains topologies like TN, TT, and IT.
7.4 Current Transducers Considerations

The Advanced Active Filter AAF 007 needs measuring signals from external current transducers to function. Current transducers
ordered with the filter are pretuned from factory and ensure optional configuration. It is possible to use existing current transducers
or order current transducers separately. Using existing transducers or buying the transducers separately requires additional configu-
ration and tuning of the filter, see SECTION 8.4.2 for more details.
To obtain the best filter performance, use current transducers with the following specifications:
• Nearest 10% higher current transducer to the maximum RMS current to avoid saturation.
• Current transducers with 5 A secondary rating.
• Current transducers with IEC accuracy class 0.5 or better (optimal read accuracy).
Filters operating with oversized RMS current transducer rating and/or with less than 0.5% accuracy have reduced harmonic per-
formance and result in higher losses. The filter is not able to operate with 1 A secondary CT rating.
As standard, the filter is configured for symmetric 3-phase systems and requires only 2 current transducers. Install the current trans-
ducers on phases L1/A and L3/C. A 3rd current transducer can be installed on L2/B and connected to the filter without any issues.
However, this will not give any advantages for the filter performance in a 3-phase 3-wire system.

If current transducers are installed on all 3 wires, reprogram the filter to a 4-wire system.
7.4.1 Placing of Current Transducers

The location of the current transducers defines the filter operation pattern, whereas the filter power connection determines the
harmonic current flow of the system.
It is recommended to install the current transducers downstream from the filter. This open-loop configuration is the preprogram-
med setup. The filter mitigates by counteracting the harmonic current of the read signals. In the following illustration, the filter
compensates harmonics on all loads at PCC2.

Illustration 14: Open-loop Configuration
The filter can also run in closed-loop operations as shown in the following illustration, but this requires changes in the filter configu-
ration. In this configuration, the filter controls reaching a sinusoidal current waveform on the read current transducers, and it com-
pensates harmonics on all loads at PCC1.
N O T I C E
Closed-loop operation is only possible for individual filter modules. Filters consisting of multiple modules do not support this
setting.

No matter the configuration, the filter can compensate both single and multiple loads. To achieve the optimal harmonic flow of the
system, install the filter at the same point of common coupling as the harmonic source it is intended to compensate.
7.4.2 Connections and Polarities

Be cautious about the polarity of the current transducers. Wrong polarity will result in harmonic doubling instead of mitigation.
Notation of the current transducer terminals varies by brand. The most commonly used are S1/S2, K/L, or X1/X2. For correct polarity,
use this connection sequence for all connections to the filter.

7.4.3 Three- and Four-wire Systems

The Advanced Active Filter AAF 007 filter is preconfigured to compensation for Danfoss drives in a symmetric 3-wire operation
mode. For systems with asymmetric loads, such as single-phase loads, the filter must be reconfigured for 4-wire operation. In this
mode, equip the filter with 3 current transducers, 1 on each phase. Furthermore, the neutral power connection must be done. Re-
configuration is also required for correct performance.

7.4.4 Connection of Several Filter Modules to the Same Current Transducer

It is often required to install several filter modules in parallel to achieve the needed compensation effect. Each filter can use its own
set of current transducers or share common sets of current transducers. A maximum of 8 filters modules can share 1 common set of
current transducers.
For sharing current transducers, connect the filters as shown:

7.4.5 Current Transducer Burden and Signal Quality Management

To ensure signal integrity, the current transducer and wiring system must be designed to avoid current sensing quality degradation.
CT signal integrity is a combination of several factors:
• Total VA output of the transformer (maximum burden).
• The used current transducer wire gauge.
• The total length of the current transducer cable.
• The resistance of the filter.
36 | Danfoss A/S © 2023.06 AQ448528300938en-000101 / 130R1342

The impedance of the filter's current transducer terminals is 5.5 mΩ.

To ensure signal integrity, the total power output of the current transducer must be higher than the load of the wiring system and
the filter.
The burden of a current transducer is expressed in [VA] and is either directly available in the datasheet or calculated based on the
current transducer impedance value:
[VA] = secondary current2 x Impedance value
The burden of the current transducer secondary side is calculated based on length [m] and resistance [Ω/m] of the current transduc-
er wiring plus the filter impedance:
[VA] = 52 ([Ω/m] x 2 x [m] + 0.0055)
The following graph shows the minimum current transducer burden requirement for various copper cable lengths for 1.5 mm2 (13.3
mΩ/m) and 2.5 mm2 (8.2 mΩ/m) wire gauge.

Illustration 20: Burden Requirement for 1.5 and 2.5 mm Cable
The burden calculation must include all wires in the installation and must be conducted for the longest total wire string.
For filters where the current transducer signal is looped between several filters, the additional wire between the filters is to be inclu-
ded in the calculation.
To increase the possible length of a current transducer cable without increasing the burden too much, bigger diameter cables with
less impedance can be used. This is practicable, especially, when secondary CT cabling is applied outside a filter cabinet.
Burden calculation for the summation current transducer is the sum of the respective secondary current transducers ([VA1]+[VA2]...).
7.4.6 Systems with Backup Generators, Redundant Power-feed Option, or Multiple-source Com-
pensation
System with dual-current infeed possibility where harmonic compensation is targeted, specific sets of loads may require summation
current transformers. These are typically systems with emergency backup generators or redundant power grid architecture. Sum-
mation current transformers are designed to summarize several synchronous AC currents of equal phase relation with any angle of
phase difference, that is, summarizing the secondary currents of a number of main current transducers.

Illustration 22: Selected Load Compensation in Open-loop Configuration
Summation current transducers are available with multiple inputs and 1 common output. For applications using summation current
transducers, ensure that all current transducers connected to the summation are from the same manufacturer and have common:
• Polarity
• Primary rating
• RMS value
• Accuracy (class 0.5)
38 | Danfoss A/S © 2023.06 AQ448528300938en-000101 / 130R1342

• Location (PCC or load-side)

• Phase sequence
When using summation current transducers, it is important to ensure correct phase relation, current direction, and primary and sec-
ondary rating. Incorrect installation causes incorrect filter operation. Also, pay special attention to the total current transducer bur-
den calculation, see 7.4.5 Current Transducer Burden and Signal Quality Management.
7.4.7 Selection and Installation Example

In this example, only harmonics for drive 1 (200 kW) and drive 3 (132 kW) of the installation shall be mitigated. All drives are installed
in the same cabinet, and the current transducer distance to the drives is 10 m (32.8 ft).

Illustration 23: Example of Selective Group Compensation
Current transducers are installed on each of the drive supply cables, and summation transformers are used. The filter is running in
open loop. The RMS current of the 200 kW drive is 385 A, hence both drives shall use 500 A current transducers. The filter burden
must be configured to a 1000 RMS current transducer. The cable used is 1.5 mm2 (16 AWG) and the current transducer minimum
burden is:
2 x 10 x 13.3/1000 = 6.65 VA. The summation transformer burden > 2 x 6.65 VA + 0.0055Ω x 5 A2 = 13.44 VA.
To lower cost and ease availability of summation current transformers, it is possible to use 2.5 mm2 (14 AWG) wire instead and re-
duce burden demand to less than 10.

7.6 Operation with Capacitor Banks

The Advanced Active Filter AAF 007 is able to run with capacitor banks as long as the resonance frequency of the capacitor bank is
not in the operation range of the active filter. The filter's operating range is 40–60 kHz.
Always use detuned capacitor banks in installation with drives and active filters to avoid resonance phenomena, unintended trip-
ping, or component breakdown.
Detuned capacitors should have a resonant frequency that is an inter-harmonic order lower than the 3rd order.
N O T I C E
Resonances can occur when capacitor banks are not installed with detuning chokes close to an active switching device.
The capacitor bank should be installed upstream from the filter towards the supply. If this is not possible, install the current trans-
ducer such that they do not measure both needed current compensation and the capacitor-corrected current.

Operating Guide Basic Operations and Applications
8 Basic Operations and Applications

8.1 PC Tool
The Danfoss AAF 007 Setup tool is available in the MyDrive® Suite. The tool can be utilized for commissioning of the filter and for
monitoring of current and grid voltages of the filter or connected load and grid. The tool is a freeware that requires a user name and
a password to be able to log in. As the access data may change with versions of the tool, consult the README file in the zip file of
the tool to retrieve user and password information.
The tool helps to understand the actual status of the filter and gives access to the error log.
Extract the downloaded *.zip folder to a non-temporary folder on the computer to make it fully executable. Some machines require
administrative privileges to execute successfully.
To use the PC tool with the filter, use the RS485 connections on the filter and connect to the PC, possibly via the USB converter.
Grounding is required when the cable way exceeds 1 m (3.28 ft) to avoid degraded performance of the communication.

6. In the Connect field, select System or Individual filter module.
7. Click the Connect button.
8. Verify that the status on the side bar changes from Disconnected to Connected.
8.1.2 Connection - Parallel Setup

The Advanced Active Filter AAF 007 filters rated >55 A are constellations of parallel modules. When ordered this way, the filter mod-
ules are set for parallel operation by factory. Settings for the filter can be changed on system level. If the compilation of active filters
is changed, it can be necessary to reconfigure the parallel setup.
Changes done on system level result in changes on all connected filter modules. Changes done in 1-16 result in changes on the
equivalent filter module with the corresponding Modbus address 1-16. The limit of 8 modules in parallel is based on the burden of
the current transducers and the belonging cables, even though the communication ports allow configuration of a system with 16
modules.
To run the AAF 007 filter modules in parallel, all filter modules must be set to the correct total compensation current connected,
refer to section 8.1.5.1.
Example
AAF-0073B04-220AE20 is an active filter with 220 A compensation current. It is a compilation of 4 x AAF-0073B04-55A0E20. The total
parallel total compensation current is 220 A.
This setting can be done in system mode and will be distributed to all modules.

8.1.4.1.1 Settings - Harmonic Detection Modes

The menu Settings⇒Device offers 3 harmonic detection modes:
• Auto
• Completely
• Manually
The selection of the harmonic-detection mode has an impact on the effect of the settings for the harmonics (odd and even) and for
the angle.
In the sub-menus Angle and Harmonic (odd/even), detailed settings for the harmonic comensation can be done. This can be re-
quired, if the filter is not running optimally due to various external factors like poor current transducer signals, local resonances in
the mains, or high predistortion on the mains.
A power meter might be required to determine the phase angle displacement on certain frequencies and for spectrum analysis
where resonances occur.
The values of the Harmonics and Angle settings are used in the controller in the modes Auto and Automatically. In Completely mode,
these settings are not relevant for the controller.

8.1.4.2 Settings - Harmonic (Odd/Even)

The Advanced Active Filter AAF 007 injects harmonics of the same amplitude as the measured value in counterphase. The deviation
between the measured value and the injected valued can be adjusted in the Harmonic (odd/even) menu.
Values are referring to a factor of the individual harmonic amplitude (1.05 corresponds to a compensation of 105%). This setting is
used to fine-tune the performance of the filter. These settings can be changed during operation of the filter. The valid range for
settings is 0.0–1.1.
N O T I C E
Even order harmonics may be caused by unbalance in the load. For symmetrical load, compensation of the even order harmonics
should not be required and settings of 0.00 is recommended.
8.1.4.2.1 Settings - Harmonic Fine-tuning

To achieve the best possible performance, fine-tuning of individual harmonics is recommended.
Procedure
1. Install PQ-Analyzer upstream of the AAF 007.
2. Start the filter and view the result in bar-graph mode.
3. Identify the harmonic with the largest harmonic content on PQ-Analyzer.
4. Add +0.01 to the corresponding harmonic value in the PC tool.

In this view, the correct sequence of the voltages can be checked. By enabling current and voltage pairwise, it can also be investiga-
ted if the current transducers are mounted on the correct phase. If the current waveform is 180° shifted to the corresponding volt-
age, the polarity of the current transducer is probably wrong. If so, change either the direction of the primary current through the
current transducer core or change the connection of the secondary current connection.

8.2 Modbus Setup
8.2.1 Introduction
Modbus is a communication protocol on application layer, which is currently widely spread for industrial controls and is close to
being a de-facto-industrial standard.
This chapter describes the implementation of Modbus communication protocols in the AAF 007 product series. The communication
starts the answer mode, the host initiates the request, and the follower performs the request and answers.
This chapter does not describe the standard specification of the Modbus communication protocol. Detailed information is in the
standard specification of Modbus RTU communication protocol.
8.2.2 Base Protocol

The base protocol is standard Modbus RTU. Asynchronous String protocol UART is applied with 19200 baud. The transmission mode
is asynchronous and half duplex, there is 1 start bit, 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit.
8.2.3 Data Types

The storage format of integer values is 2 bytes. First transmit the high-byte D15 ~ D8, then transmit the low-byte D7 ~ D0.
The storage format of floating-point values is 4 bytes. The IEEE32-bit standard-floating-point format (standard-C-language format) is
used. The transmission order is as follows: high-byte D31 ~ D24, then D23 ~ D16, then D15 ~ D8, and finally low-byte D7 ~ D0.

8.2.4 Communication Mode

After sending the host request, wait 100 ms for the answer from the follower. If no answers or wrong answers are received within
this time, the communication process has failed.
8.2.5 Definitions of the Application-layer Packaged Data/Frame Format
8.2.5.1 Checksum
The check uses a 16-bit CRC check (2 byte). The whole information is used for the check. The content of CRC is calculated by the help
of the cyclic redundancy recognition process. The content of CRC is added to the end of the information, starting with the low-byte
followed by the high-byte.
8.2.5.2 Supported Function Codes

It is only possible to read data from the filter via Modbus RTU.

8.3 Paralleling of Filter Modules

Filters ordered with ratings above 55 A are made up of parallel setup of multiple filter modules. These filters can be ordered directly
from Danfoss with or without current transducers.
An ordered filter of, for example, 220 A consists of 4 55 A modules. These modules are already programmed and tested as a 220 A
unit from the factory. When ordered with current transducers, all settings are made to that the product can be installed and com-
missioned directly.
If a module is to be exchanged in a filter, or if a filter is enhanced with extra module to increase compensation current, reprogram-
ming of the filter modules is required to ensure proper operation.
8.3.1 Modbus Address

When exchanging a module in a filter, assign the address of the old module to the new module.
Danfoss A/S © 2023.06 AQ448528300938en-000101 / 130R1342 | 67

If a filter is enhanced by adding a new module, assign the next free address to the new module. See section 8.1.2 Connection -
Parallel Setup for more information on assigning addresses.
8.3.2 Current Transducer

Up to 8 filter modules can share 1 set of current transducer. Electrical installation of current transducers to parallel modules is ex-
plained in section 7.4.4 Connection of Several Filter Modules to the Same Current Transducer.
It is important that the parameter/value Parallel Total Comp. Current is set up correctly as it has significant impact to the perform-
ance of the filter. If the value is not according to the installed compensation current, the filter might compensate too much or too
little, which in both cases results in degraded power quality.
Therefore, it is important to program this value correctly for exchanged modules, and in case the filter is changed in size by remov-
ing or adding modules.
8.3.3 Control Signals

The functions of the control signals are explained in 5.6.4 External Power Off (EPO). RS485 and digital inputs can easily be wired in
parallel without further considerations.
The 2 output relays are fixed to show the status of the drive. These signals can be used individually or require a logic to combine the
status with the total filter status, as illustrated below.

8.4 Installation of Active Filters in Proximity of Drives

The filter sets different MOSFET switches in real time feeding a DC voltage into the grid, which creates counter-phase signals.
N O T I C E
This pattern is decreasing the local impedance for the higher harmonic currents, and therefore non-linear loads (diode-feed
loads) will experience steeper current flanks on the input.
Drives with integrated AC coils will dampen this effect and reduce the harmonic content of current, while drives with DC coil will
reduce the harmonic current on the input of the drive, However, the DC coils are not able to change the dI/dt value at the input
section due to their position. To evaluate if special measures are to be considered for installation of active filters very close to drives,
contact the local supplier.

Operating Guide How to Order
9 How to Order
9.1 Filter Configuration
Use the code number system to design an active filter according to the application requirements. For the Advanced Active Fil-
ter AAF 007, it is possible to order standard filters based on modules by sending a modelcode string describing the product to the
local Danfoss sales office. For example, AAF-0073B04-220AE20+VD04.
These IP20 products consist of 1 or more filter modules including a set of current transducers if such have been selected. The filter
modules are tested and parametrized in the ordered product configuration.
9.2 Ordering Form Type Code

This section describes each character in the type code. As the Advanced Active Filter AAF 007 series is constantly evolving, the fol-
lowing table may show options that are not yet released for sales. It is indicated in the table which selections are available. In the
example, a standard 55 A filter with IP20 protection rating is selected for a 380–480 V net, including 150 A current transducers. The
internet-based configurator configures the right filter for the right application and generates a type code string and a model string.
The configurator automatically generates an 8-digit sales number to be delivered to the local sales office. It is also possible to estab-
lish a project list with several products and send it to a Danfoss sales representative. The configurator is available at https://
store.danfoss.com/en/Drives/Drives-Configurators/General-Configurators/c/13934.

9.4.1 Air Duct

When filter modules are to be installed on top of each other, the excess air from the lower modules must be guided around the
upper filters to ensure proper cooling. See more about cooling in section 6.4 Cooling and Airflow.
A pre-manufactured metal sheet can be purchased from Danfoss to support this kind of integration. The air duct is designed for up
to 6 modules in the upper row and 2 modules in the lower row, which enables the integration of 8 modules into an 800 mm cabinet.

Operating Guide Troubleshooting
10 Troubleshooting
10.1 Service and Maintenance
There is no dedicated service and maintenance plan for the filter modules or parts of the modules that require attention. The best
conditions are achieved in an environment with constant ambient temperature, which allows a proper cooling of the filter.
10.2 Replacing a Filter Module in a Filter with Multiple Modules

If a filter module is to be replaced, certain settings must be done to ensure proper operation of the newly added module.
N O T I C E
Carefully read chapter 2 Safety to become familiar with the safety precautions.
Download the settings in the Settings/Device menu and note the Modbus address of the filter.
Procedure
1. Remove the old module from the filter.
2. Install the new module and power it up.
3. Connect to the module via the serial connection and set the Modbus address to the same address as the replaced module
had.
4. Upload the settings file from the old module in the Settings/Device menu to adjust the settings of the new module.
If no settings file is available, copy the settings from another module in the same filter as they are typically the same.
Adjust the following first to ensure safe operation:
1.- Parallel total compensation current
2.- Current transducer location
3.- Current transducer ratio
4.- Current transducer connection
5. Check that all other settings/parameters have the same value as the old module to ensure proper operation.
10.3 Fault Finding and Troubleshooting

If the filter does not work properly, read out the fault name and investigate possible root causes for the fault.
Fault names can be read out via the PC tool, section 8.1.5 Data, or via the Modbus protocol, section 8.2 Modbus Setup.
