1.- BASIC INSTRUCTIONS
This manual is designed to familiarise the user with operating the FAR-Q power factor
correction and filtering equipment in order to get the best from its features.
FAR-Q hybrid filters are specifically developed for power factor correction on systems
with medium harmonic distortion. The aim is to improve power factor and at the same
time, to attenuate harmonics. The operating principle consists in correcting power factor
and at the same time absorbing the 5th and 7th harmonics generated by certain loads
so that they do not get into the system or go towards other nearby loads.
Please read this manual carefully before connecting and switching on the
instrument in order to avoid irreversible damage caused by improper use.
NOTE: So that absorption is effective the hybrid bank must be separate from the other
loads (other lines or users) by a shock reactor or transformer
