5. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS  
Industrial style NEMA 1 enclosed filters are  
designed for wall and floor mounting in the  
vertical plane. Do not install in or near a  
corrosive environment. Avoid locations where  
the filter would be subjected to excessive  
vibrations. For wall mounted enclosures allow  
a minimum side clearance of eight (8) inches  
and front clearance of forty-eight (48) inches  
for proper heat dissipation and access. For  
floor mounted enclosures allow a minimum  
side and back clearance of eight (8) inches  
and front clearance of forty-eight (48) inches  
for proper heat dissipation and access. Table 7  
will direct you to the appropriate outline  
drawings shown in  
Filter Installation  
Matrix Filters are supplied in the following  
mechanical configurations:  
Panel mounted assemblies  
Floor mounted general purpose NEMA 1, 2,  
& 3R cabinets  
Industrial style NEMA 1 cabinets with  
hinged doors.  
Panel mounted filters are designed for  
mounting in the vertical plane in the customer’s  
enclosure. Include the power dissipation of the  
filter along with all the other components  
located in the panel to determine the internal  
temperature rise and cooling requirements of  
the enclosure. Allow a minimum side clearance  
of four (4) inches and a vertical clearance of  
six (6) inches for proper heat dissipation and  
access. Figure 7 through Figure 15 contain  
outline drawings for the various ratings and  
show proper mounting orientation. For 5%  
filters, Model numbers beginning with 37GM5,  
refer to Figure 15 and Table 5 for the  
Figure 20 through  
dimensions of the separately mounted input  
reactor.  
Select a well ventilated, dust-free area away  
from direct sunlight, rain or moisture. Do not  
install in or near a corrosive environment.  
Avoid locations where the filter would be  
subjected to excessive vibrations.  
Figure 24.  
General purpose NEMA 1, 2, and 3R enclosed  
filters are designed for floor mounting in the  
vertical plane in an environment suitable for  
the enclosure type. Do not install in or near a  
corrosive environment. Avoid locations where  
the filter would be subjected to excessive  
vibrations. Allow a minimum side and back  
clearance of eight (8) inches and front  
clearance of thirty-six (36) inches for proper  
heat dissipation and access. Table 6 will direct  
you to the appropriate outline drawings shown  
in Figure 16 through Figure 19.

one or more assembles. Refer to Figure 26 for  
the interconnection diagram. The capacitor  
assembly should be located in the lowest  
temperature regions of the enclosure –  
generally toward the bottom – and the reactor  
assembly may be located in any region where  
the ambient temperature does not exceed 50  
degrees C. Size the conductors interconnecting  
the reactor and capacitor assemblies to carry  
the current shown in Table 3. For terminal  
specifications on the capacitor assembly, refer  
to Table 9.  
Power Wiring Connection  
WARNING  
Input and output power wiring to the  
filter should be performed by authorized  
personnel in accordance with the NEC  
and all local electrical codes and  
regulations.  
Verify that the power source to which the filter is  
to be connected is in agreement with the  
nameplate data on the filter. A fused disconnect  
switch or circuit breaker should be installed  
between the filter and its source of power in  
accordance with the requirements of the NEC  
and all local electrical codes and regulations.  
Refer to the drive user manual for selection of  
the correct fuse rating and class.  
For filters supplied in general purpose NEMA 1,  
2 & 3R cabinets, interconnection between the  
filter, its power source, and the drive is shown  
in Figure 27. Refer to Figures 29 to 32 for the  
location of input, output, ground and over  
temperature switch terminals. Refer to the drive  
user manual for instructions on interconnecting  
the drive and motor and the correct start-up  
procedures for the drive.  
The filter is suitable for use on a circuit capable  
of delivering not more than 100,000 rms  
symmetrical amperes at 480 volts when  
protected by Bussman type JJS, KTK, KTK-R,  
SPP or T class fuses.  
For filters supplied in industrial style NEMA 1  
cabinets, interconnection between the filter, its  
power source and the drive is shown in Figure  
28. Refer to Figures 33 to 37 for the location of  
input, output, ground and over temperature  
switch terminals. Refer to the drive user manual  
for instructions on interconnecting the drive and  
motor and the correct start-up procedures for  
the drive.  
For panel mounted filter applications rated 44  
amperes and below, interconnection between  
the filter, its power source, and the drive is  
shown in  
Figure 25. Refer to the drive user manual for  
instructions on interconnecting the drive and  
motor and the correct start-up procedures for  
the drive.  
Grounding and Ground Fault Protection  
The filter must always be grounded with a  
grounding conductor connected to all ground  
terminals.  
The filter is designed for use with copper  
conductors with a minimum temperature rating  
of 75 degrees C.  
Due to high leakage currents associated with  
variable frequency drives, ground fault  
protective devices do not necessarily operate  
correctly when placed ahead of a matrix filter  
feeding a drive. When using this type of device,  
its function should be tested in the actual  
installation.  
Table 8 lists the wire range and terminal torque  
requirements for the power input and output  
connections by horsepower rating.  
For panel mounted filters rated 52 amperes or  
more, the filter reactors are supplied on a sub-  
panel and the filter capacitors are supplied on

6. FILTER DESCRIPTION  
The GE Matrix Filter is a low pass filter  
rating greater than or equal to 105% of the  
motor current rating. If the motor current rating  
is not available, select on the basis of 105% of  
the NEC motor current rating.  
containing proprietary technology, which makes  
it particularly useful for harmonic mitigation of  
adjustable speed drives. Figure 38 shows a  
block diagram of the filter. Three phase AC  
power is connected to the input section which  
contains a three phase AC reactor and circuitry  
which inhibits oscillation of the filter with the AC  
power system. The center leg consists of a  
series reactor and capacitor bank. Because of  
the capacitor bank the filter operates with  
leading power factor at all loads, but unlike trap  
filters the GE Matrix Filter does not produce  
significant voltage rise at the point of common  
coupling with the power system. The standard  
8% filter output section consists of an AC  
output reactor.  
Filters for variable torque AC drives rated less  
than 1.5 Hp should be selected for an output  
current rating greater than or equal to 110% of  
the motor current rating or 110% OF the NEC  
motor current rating.  
For constant torque, AC and DC drive  
applications operating from six pulse rectifier  
front ends selected a filter current rating  
according to application engineering note  
“Matrix Filter Operation in Constant Torque  
Applications with Six Pulse Rectifiers” or  
consult GE engineering. For phase controlled  
DC drive applications, select filter current rating  
per application note “Matrix Filter with Phase  
Controlled DC Drivers.  
The 5% filter is comprised of a standard 8%  
filter plus an additional input reactor.  
Matrix filters are suitable for use with AC and  
DC drives and they can be used in both  
regenerative and non-regenerative applications  
when properly selected.  
Where a single filter is used to feed multiple  
drives, the output current rating of the filter  
should be selected to equal the total current  
rating of the individual drives when calculated  
according to the instructions above.  
Filters for variable torque AC drives rated 7.5  
Hp and above should be selected for a filter  
output current rating greater than or equal to  
the motor current rating. If the motor current  
rating is not available, use the NEC motor  
current rating.  
Because the filter supplies harmonic currents  
required by the drive, linear loads (such as  
space heaters, incandescent lighting and AC  
motors operated across the line) should not be  
connected to the output of the filter.  
Filters for variable torque AC drives rated 2 – 5  
Hp should be selected for a filter output current

7. START-UP  
Safety Precautions  
Before startup, observe the following warnings and instructions:  
WARNING  
Internal components of the filter are at line potential when the filter is connected to the utility.  
This voltage is extremely dangerous and may cause death or severe injury if you come in  
contact with it.  
WARNING  
After disconnecting the utility power, wait at least 5 minutes before doing any work on the filter  
connections. After removing power, allow at least five minutes to elapse and verify that the  
capacitors have discharged to a safe level before contacting internal components. Connect a  
DC voltmeter across the capacitor terminals 1, 2 and 3 on terminal block 1TB. Start with the  
meter on the highest scale and progressively switch to a lower scale as the indicated voltage  
falls below the maximum value of the scale used.  
Sequence of Operation  
1. Read and follow safety precautions.  
2. After installation, ensure that:  
All filter ground terminals are connected to ground.  
Power wiring to the utility, drive and motor is in accordance with the installation and connection  
instructions in Chapter 5.

3. Check that moisture has not condensed on the filter components. If moisture is present, do not  
proceed with startup until the moisture has been removed.  
4. Disconnect the filter output from the drive.  
5. Connect the filter to the utility.  
WARNING  
Use extreme caution to avoid contact with line voltage when checking for power. INJURY OR  
DEATH MAY RESULT IF SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ARE NOT OBSERVED.

WARNING  
WARNING  
When properly installed, this equipment  
has been designed to provide maximum  
safety for operating personnel. However,  
hazardous voltages exist within the  
confines of the enclosure. Servicing  
should therefore be performed by  
qualified personnel only and in  
HIGH VOLTAGE IS USED IN THE  
OPERATION OF THIS FILTER. USE  
EXTREME CAUTION TO AVOID  
CONTACT WITH HIGH VOLTAGE WHEN  
OPERATING, INSTALLING OR  
REPAIRING THIS FILTER. INJURY,  
DEATH AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE  
MAY RESULT IF SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
ARE NOT OBSERVED.  
accordance with OSHA Regulations.  
To aid in troubleshooting, a block diagram is  
shown in Figure 38, and a list of potential  
problems and solutions are listed below.  
After removing power, allow at least five  
minutes to elapse and verify that the  
capacitors have discharged to a safe  
level before contacting internal  
components. Connect a DC voltmeter  
across the capacitor terminals 1, 2 and 3  
on terminal block 1TB. Start with the  
meter on the highest scale and  
progressively switch to a lower scale as  
the indicated voltage falls below the  
maximum value of the scale used.  
Line voltage is not present at the filter  
output terminals.  
PROBLEM:  
Possible cause:  
Solution:  
Power to the filter is turned off.  
Turn power on.  
Possible cause:  
Solution:  
One or more external line fuses are blown.  
Verify the continuity of line fuses in all  
phases. Replace as necessary.
