Below you will find brief information for Agrivolt Filters F11 B1Q-AM, Agrivolt Filters F11 B3Q-AM, Agrivolt Filters F11 C1Q-600, Agrivolt Filters F11 C1Q-600N, Agrivolt Filters F11 C3Q-600. Agrivolt Filters are a range of filters for electronic noise in livestock facilities to prevent current flow at medium frequencies on grounding and bonding networks. These currents are produced from a variety of noise generating equipment such as Variable Speed Drives, electronic ventilation, electronic lighting ballasts and electrical fences, among others. Agrivolt Filters also protect equipment and eliminate problems from electromagnetic incompatibility between various components. Agrivolt considers that a 200 mA current at 1 KHz frequency or above, measured at the noise generating equipment, is a safe threshold. This threshold is based on the IEC standard 1479-2.

2. Characteristics of Agrivolt Filters
2.1 Technical description of the product
Agrivolt Filter, by design, modifies the characteristics of the impulse produced by noise generating equipment by having high impedance at medium frequency in differential-mode and common-mode while avoiding any bond with the grounding network. By avoiding redirecting this capacitive leak to the grounding and bonding networks, contrary to an EMI Filter, the
Agrivolt Filter protects the animal and the equipment in livestock facilities. Moreover, it prevents the problems of electromagnetic incompatibility between various equipment components.

4.2 Installing Agrivolt Filter with a Variable Speed Drive (VSD)
- The Variable Speed Drive must at all time be powered from a separate circuit.
- EMI filters must be removed from the Variable Speed Drive circuit.
- Do not use line reactor or power factor corrector between the circuit breaker and the motor.
- Separate conductors required: under no condition should the power wire of the Variable
Speed Drive run with other networks in the same conduit, auxiliary gutters, wire shelves, etc
- A rigid or flexible non-metallic conduit is required for connection between motor, Agrivolt
Filter and Variable Speed Drive.
- We recommend the use of the following wires for the input and output connection to the
Agrivolt Filter: copper conductors, 600 volts, 105ºC (221ºF), strands;
USA & Canada
REW - XLPVC
11
TEW
- The input and output wires of the Variable Speed Drive must be in separate conduits.
- Wiring is copper, minimum #14 strands.
- Wiring for connection between the motor and the Variable Speed Drive must be copper 600 volts, 90ºC (194ºF) minimum (THHN, MTW, etc…)
- Only rigid 600Volts 105ºC (221ºF) minimum wire connectors should be used.
- The gauge of the grounding and bonding wire is prescribed by the Electric Codes. Wire must be isolated type.
- If any current remains in the grounding and bonding wire, it is necessary to change, to move or to give up one or more grounds. (CEC, 10-200 / NEC, 250,6,B)
4.3 Check-up Procedure before starting Agrivolt Filter
Make sure
- There is no risk of condensation in the case.
- The grounding wires are well connected.
- The wires used respect Agrivolt recommendations and the National Electric Codes.
4.4 Check-up Procedure after starting Agrivolt Filter
1) The Variable Speed Drive is incompatible with another component:
Several power lines from different networks are running through the same conduit.
There is an EMI Filter in the circuit.
Check the acceleration ramp
Use the lowest value at the carrier frequency.
Check for electric arc (circuit breakers, etc…)
Check the variation of tension (%) of the power line.
Check if there is any non-filtered noise generating component.
2) The electrical circuit leakage capacitance is high
12
The leakage capacitance of the electrical circuit (of the Variable Speed Drive, lines, motors, etc) is important for good performances. For instance, pay special attention to installations connected to submersible pumps.
In many cases, in the presence of a high leakage capacitance, a noise is perceptible at the
Agrivolt Filter. To eliminate this noise, it is necessary to improve the leakage capacitance of the electrical circuit of the Variable Speed Drive. Wires between the Variable Speed Drive and the motor are the most solicited and must have at all time a low leakage capacitance.
3) Presence of a current loop
It is possible that an existing installation use a metal conduit as well as a ground wire for grounding. A problem of induction then develops. Induction generates a current which circulates (in loop) in the ground wire and the metal conduit. This current in turn radiates and generates a current in the adjacent communication or electrical networks. To solve the problem, disconnect the secondary side from the grounding and bonding wire.

Wiring is copper, minimum #14 strands.
Wiring for connection between the breaker and the load must be copper, 600 volts, 90ºC
(194ºF) minimum (THHN, MTW, etc…)
Only rigid 600Volts 105ºC (221ºF) minimum wire connectors should be used.
The gauge of the grounding and bonding wire is prescribed by the Electric Codes. Wire must be of isolated type.
If any current remains in the grounding and bonding wire it is necessary to change, to move or to give up one or more grounds. (CEC, 10-200 / NEC, 250,6,B)
Keep 6-8 inches between the ballasts and metallic structures of the building
6.3 Check-up Procedure before starting Agrivolt Filter
Make sure that
There is no risk of condensation in the case.
The ground wires are well connected.
The wires used respect Agrivolt recommendations and the National Electric Codes.
6.4 Check-up Procedure after starting Agrivolt Filter
20
1) Electronic lighting ballasts remain incompatible with another component.
Several power lines from different networks are running through the same conduit.
There is an EMI Filter in the circuit.
Check for electric arc (circuit breakers, etc…)
Check if there is any non-filtered noise generating component.
2) The electrical circuit leakage capacitance is too high
The leakage capacitance of the electrical circuit including wiring and load is important for good performances. In the presence of a high wiring leakage capacitance, a noise is perceptible at the Agrivolt Filter. To eliminate this noise, it is necessary to improve the leakage capacitance of the electrical circuit.

7. Warning about breakdown service on Agrivolt Filter
Before performing any intervention, it is necessary to shut down the Agrivolt Filter. Wait 3 minutes after shut down to allow for the condensers to discharge.
The Agrivolt Filter is likely to evolve technically with time. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for modifications to the equipment, be it to improve performance, appearance or use.
Installing and starting the Agrivolt Filter must be in compliance with National and Local
Standards as applicable at the place of use. This responsibility lies with the Installer.

8. Validation Procedure
Physical installation
Check the ambient conditions of operations
Check the conformity of installation on a vertical wall
Check the conformity of the power line wiring
Check the conformity of wiring to the electrical circuit
Check the absence of EMI Filter
Check the grounding
Electrical installation
Check the electric charge according to the Agrivolt Filter
Check the conformity of connections
Check the color coding of phases
Check the direction of rotation of the motor
Note: One cannot take measurements in voltage in the environment of a noise generator and more particularly with Variable Speed Drives. The output of Variable Speed drives varies in relation to the mass. This situation explains why we can measure voltage impulse up to 2000V whatever is the supply voltage of a variable speed drive. Moreover, the measuring equipment being used performs at high impedance and is easily influenced by radiated noise. It is thus necessary to take a measure in current for more accuracy. It is completely impossible to reduce the amount of electronic noise to zero in the animal environment with Agrivolt Filters.

9. Maintenance
Before performing any intervention on the Agrivolt Filter, cut power off and wait for the condensers to discharge (approximately 3 minutes).
The tension at the connector blocks can reach 600V depending on the tension of the network.
In the event of anomaly with setting into service or exploitation, first make sure that the recommendations relating to the environment, the assembly and connections were respected.
The Agrivolt Filter does not require preventive maintenance. Nevertheless, it is recommended, on a regular basis, to:
check the state of connections,
make sure that the temperature in the vicinity of the apparatus remains at an acceptable level,
Vacuum-clean the Agrivolt Filter if necessary.
