Safety Instructions
Overview
This section provides the safety instructions which must be followed when installing, operating, and
servicing the HarmonicGuard Active (HGA) filter. If neglected, physical injury or death may follow,
or damage may occur to the HGA filter or equipment connected to the HGA filter. The material in this
chapter must be read and understood before attempting any work on or with the product.
The HGA filter is intended to be connected to the bus or power cables where one or more loads are
connected. Three-phase power is connected to the input terminals of the unit and corrective current is
supplied to the system through the HGA filter in response to the input signal being received from the
CTs connected to the monitored bus. The instructions, and particularly the safety instructions, for the
drives, motors, and any other related equipment must be read, understood, and followed when working
on any of the equipment.
Warnings and Cautions
This manual provides two types of safety instructions. Warnings are used to call attention to
instructions, which describe steps, which must be taken to avoid conditions, which can lead to a
serious fault condition, physical injury, or death.
Cautions are used to call attention to instructions that describe steps that must be taken to avoid
conditions that can lead to a malfunction and possible equipment damage.
Warnings
Readers are informed of situations that can result in serious physical injury and/or serious damage to
equipment with warning statements marked with the following symbols:
Warning Dangerous Voltage Warning: warns of situations in which a
high voltage can cause physical injury and/or damage
equipment. The text next to this symbol describes ways to
avoid the danger.
Warning General Warning: warns of situations that can cause physical
injury and/or damage equipment by means other than
electrical. The text next to this symbol describes ways to avoid
the danger.
Warning Many electronic components located within the filter are
sensitive to static electricity. Voltages imperceptible to human
touch can reduce the life, and affect performance, or
completely destroy sensitive electronic devices. Use proper
electrostatic discharge (ESD) procedures when servicing the
filter and its circuit boards.
