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
