What is the proper way to parallel Emission Control, Ltd. EMI/Filters?
1. Determine the normal operating current that will be flowing through the filter network in RMS amperes. 2. Determine rating and quantity of filters required to carry the RMS current rating of the system. (100 amps = two 60 ampere filters). 3. Precut eight leads for each delta type filter to be parallel connected, and ten leads for each wye type filter. LEADS MUST ALL BE THE SAME LENGTH. 4. Connect all like terminals from each filter to a point on an external terminal block using ring type lugs on each end of the paralleling wires. Make proper connection lug to wire by crimping and then soldering. SEE CONNECTION DIAGRAM. 5. Make external system connections to terminal blocks on both the line side and load side of the filter, (see diagram 1). Make certain that all connections are tightened properly. NOTE: ALL PARALLELING WIRES MUST BE THE EXACT SAME LENGTH TO ASSURE THE MULTIPLE CONNECTED FILTERS SHARE THE TOTAL CURRENT EQUALLY. IF UNITS DO NOT SHARE THIS CURRENT EQUALLY, EXCESSIVE CUR
