Product Description
The MFC Filter kit is a low-pass sine wave filter designed and developed by TCI to deliver
conditioned power to motor loads driven by PWM drives at a variety of lead lengths. The MFC Kit
is available for 460/480 Volt and 575/600 Volt systems.
The MFC Filter kit is a passive filter connected in series with the output terminals of the variable
frequency drive. It is designed to remove the carrier frequency distortion from the output voltage
waveform. The use of this low-pass filter will result in a nearly pure sine wave voltage profile. This
design will reduce the effects of the reflected wave phenomenon, (dV/dt), such as insulation
damage or premature failure in motors, transformers, and VFD output cables. The MFC Filter Kit
will also reduce the effects of stray high frequency harmonic currents, thereby reducing VFD ground
fault problems and noise interference in transducer signals.
The MFC Filter Kit is suitable for all lead lengths extending as far as 15,000 feet.
The MFC Filter Kit is available in the following configurations:
1. MFC A - Sinewave Filter Kit with damping resistor
2. MFC R - Sinewave Filter Kit without damping resistor
The MFC Filter Kit consists of the following standard features and components:
• A TCI 3-phase line reactor specifically designed for high PWM ripple current from the
sinewave filter application
• High-endurance, PWM current ripple rated capacitors
• Damping resistors (optional)
• Capacitor bleeder resistors to ensure safe capacitor discharge upon filter shutdown.
• Brackets for mounting capacitors to a panel

Verify the Application
MFC Filter Kit Rating
Make sure that the MFC Filter Kit is correct for the application. The voltage rating of the filter kit
must match the voltage and current rating of the connected drive. The horsepower and current
rating of the filter kit must be appropriate for the connected load.
Variable Frequency Drive Settings
Make sure that the variable frequency drive will be set for operation modes and ranges that are
compatible with the MFC Kit:
• Maximum output frequency: 80 Hz
• Constant PWM switching (carrier) frequency between 2 kHz and 12 kHz, ideally 4
kHz to 8 kHz
• Mode of operation: speed control "scalar" or "V/Hz" without DC braking unless the drive
application has been confirmed by TCI Technical Support
• Consult VFD manual for other drive specific recommendations for use with sinewave
filters, specific instructions may include but are not limited to: disabling any variable PWM
switching frequency options such as features to reduce motor noise or control
temperature and setting drive to continuous 3-phase modulation. Six-step operation is not
compatible with sinewave filter technology.
10MFC Kit Instructions 3.0 Pre-Installation Planning
Select a Suitable Location
Environment
Locating the MFC Filter in a suitable environment will help ensure proper performance and a normal
operating life. Refer to the environmental specifications listed on Table 5.
Warning Unless specifically labeled as approved for such use, this equipment
is not suitable for use in an explosive atmosphere or in a "Hazardous
! (Classified) Location" as defined in article 500 of the National
Electrical code.
The unit must be installed in an area where it will not be exposed to:
• Direct sunlight
• Rain or dripping liquids (unless the filter kit is installed in a Type 3R enclosure)
• Corrosive liquids or gases
• Explosive or combustible gases or dust
• Excessive airborne dirt and dust
• Excessive vibration
Working Space
Provide sufficient access and working space around the unit to permit ready and safe installation,
operation and maintenance. Make sure that the installation conforms to all working space and
clearance requirements of the National Electrical Code (NEC) and/or any other applicable codes.
Provide sufficient unobstructed space to allow cooling air to flow through the unit.
Mounting the Filter Kit
When mounting the filter kit in your own enclosure, you must provide an enclosure that is
adequately sized and ventilated sufficiently to prevent overheating. Refer to the applicable kit
drawings for rating and dimensions. The maximum temperature of the air around the MFC filter
capacitors and line reactor should not exceed 50°C (122°F). Consult Technical Data tables 1, 2, 3,
or 4 as appropriate when planning enclosure ventilation.
Power Wiring
When selecting a mounting location for the MFC Filter Kit, plan for the routing of the power wiring.

Line Reactor Wiring
Consult the reactor drawing for your line reactor to verify proper filter wiring. All line reactor
drawings are available on the parts web page:
https://transcoil.com/products-kmg-mfcdrawings-htm/
The incoming line must be wired to the winding start noted as A1, B1, and C1 in the reactor drawing.
The output to the motor load is connected to the winding end noted as A2, B2, and C2 in the reactor
drawing.
In small line reactors with six position terminal blocks, the terminal block is wired A1, A2, B1, B2,
C1, and C2 from left to right.

Figure 5 – Six Position Terminal Block
In line reactors where current exceeds the terminal block capability, copper flag terminations
are used.

Wiring
TCI does not recommend running drive input and output wires in the same conduit.
Capacitors
The high-endurance, PWM current ripple rated capacitors supplied in the MFC Filter kit are in
shunt with the load. In the case of the MFC “A” Filter Kit, the capacitors are wired in series with
the power resistors. If multiple capacitors are supplied with the kit, they are intended to be
connected in parallel with each other. Typically, the capacitors are three-terminal, three-phase
capacitors with the internal capacitive elements connected in delta. Each capacitor has a bleeder
resistor connected across the three input terminals to ensure voltage discharges in the time
required by UL.
Warning Do not connect capacitors to power unless the bleeder resistors are
connected, otherwise, hazardous voltages will remain across the
capacitors after the power has been disconnected.
The small horsepower kits, 480 V/40 HP and below and 600 V/45 HP and below are supplied with
single phase capacitors for each filter.
14MFC Kit Instructions 3.0 Pre-Installation Planning
These capacitors are connected in wye, and the bleeder resistors are connected across the
terminals of each capacitor.
Figure 8 –Bleeder Resistor Installation and Wiring for Single Phase
Capacitor Brackets
Figure 9 – Capacitors and Brackets
Capacitor brackets supplied with the MFC kits mount the three-phase capacitors cans (480 V, 50 HP
and higher, 600 V, 50 HP and higher) from a right-angle bracket using the studs on the bottom of the
capacitors. The bracket surrounding the capacitors is mounted near the top of the capacitor can. Rubber
grommet material is placed around the large diameter holes to prevent the edges of the bracket
damaging the capacitor cans. This hole does not firmly clamp the capacitors and is not intended to do
so: such a design would prevent the internal capacitor pressure disconnection means from operating.
This bracket prevents gross motion of the capacitors during shipping vibration which could fracture the
mounting bracket or allow the capacitors to hit other components.
15MFC Kit Instructions 3.0 Pre-Installation Planning
Recommendations for MFC Kit Usage
Panel design using a TCI MFC Filter Kit should be performed with appropriate engineering
supervision, so the design meets the requirements based on materials utilized in the construction
of the panel, wiring practices followed by your shop, and the actual ambient conditions of the
components for each application.
Wire Sizing
Wires need to be sized based on current to be carried, wire insulation temperature rating, panel
temperature rating, bundling of wires, and appropriate codes and standards. Wire size between
drive and filter reactor as well as the filter reactor and the load are based on line current. Wire size
in the branch circuit is based on rated capacitor circuit current. If the capacitor wiring is split into
separate capacitor branches, the current each branch carries is proportional to the value of
capacitance in each branch.
Additional Cooling Considerations
Reactors generate heat during operation due to harmonic currents in the coil wire and magnetic
fields in the core. Reactors constructed to Class R 220°C insulation system would be expected to
have surface temperatures as hot as 195°C. Cooling of reactors needs to be considered during
enclosure packaging design, otherwise these hot temperatures will get out of control and result in
filter failures due to overheated reactors.
Customers should use filter power dissipation values to ensure enclosure forced convection
capacity is sufficient to maintain maximum enclosure temperatures to 50°C or less. Sinewave
reactors with rated currents from small values up to 480 A have been successfully used with natural
convection cooling in TCI’s MotorShield product line. Natural convection designs require significant
open ventilation area underneath the reactor and large open exhaust vents above the reactor to
ensure proper cooling. In the case of forced convection cooling, these reactors will work as long as
sufficient air movement is present to prevent excessive ambient temperatures.
Larger sinewave filter kits with current ratings greater than 540 A should be cooled with forced
convection, and care should be taken to direct cooling air flow across the reactor coils. Baffles may
be required to ensure cooling air entering the enclosure does not short circuit directly to the exhaust
and not cool the reactor. If cooling air is directed through the ducts in a coil parallel to the core, it
will help cool the reactor. Designers should be careful to avoid mounting reactors close to walls
where there is no airflow.
Capacitors are more sensitive to high temperatures than reactors, so filter capacitors should not
be mounted within a four inches of reactor coils where radiation from the coil would heat the
capacitor. Capacitor surface temperatures should remain less than 65°C under worst case
operation conditions.
Operating a sinewave filter at a higher carrier frequency decreases ripple current in the sinewave
reactor. This decreases reactor internal power dissipation which decreases reactor temperatures.
TCI recommends customers verify intended cooling systems with drive output full current testing to
ensure cooling provided is sufficient for the sinewave filter kit components.

4.0 PQconnect Option
Product Description
The PQconnect is an integrated controls option for TCI’s industry sinewave filter used for filtering
the output of variable frequency motor drives (VFDs). In the sinewave filter, the PQconnect provides
unit status detection, metering, waveforms and power quality data. The PQconnect data is made
available via basic Modbus RTU over RS485 serial connection. The PQconnect is UL listed and
intended for commercial and industrial applications.
Modbus RTU
Introduction
The PQconnect Modbus RTU network communication interface transmits and receives command
and status data from the PQconnect Modbus master over a RS-485 serial link. Modbus RTU is a
simple serial communications protocol originally developed by Modicon for use with Programmable
Logic Controllers (PLCs) in control of industrial devices. Modbus RTU is commonly supported by
most PLCs and is an open, royalty-free communications standard.
The PQconnect implements a Modbus RTU Master/Slave device, which supports two-wire RS-485
signal levels. The PQconnect communication port used for the Modbus RTU interface is connected
directly to the PCB. The communication port is located on the side of the PQconnect board.

PQconnect Hardware
Example Application Using “Simply Modbus Master 8.1.0”
The Modbus RTU network interface port is configured for RS-485 signal levels. The following
example uses an RS-485 to USB converter to connect the PQconnect to a laptop PC running the
Modbus RTU master application. The picture below shows an example “US Converters Model:
XS890” model RS-485 to USB converter. As another alternative RS-485 converter there is
WINGONEER USB 2.0 to RS485 Serial Converter Adapter CP2104.
Figure 11: B&B SmartWorx, Inc Model: USPTL4 model RS-422/485 converter
With the example converter above, the user can make proper connections from the RS485
converter to the PQconnect J5 communication header. The table below indicates the positions
where the RS485 connections lead to. Please ensure the correct dip switch settings are applied
before installing.
