General Safety Instructions
WARNING
High Voltage! Only a qualified electrician can carry out the electrical
installation of this filter.
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 or death may result if safety precautions are not
observed.
WARNING
The opening of the branch circuit protective device may be an indication
that a fault current has been interrupted. To reduce the risk of fire or
electrical shock, current-carrying parts and other components of the filter
should be examined and replaced if damaged.
An upstream disconnect/protection device must be used as required by
the National Electrical Code (NEC) or governing authority.
Even if the upstream disconnect/protection device is open, the drive
down stream of the filter may feedback high voltage to the filter. The
drive safety instructions must be followed.
Injury or death may result if
safety precautions are not observed.
The filter must be grounded with a grounding conductor connected to all
grounding terminals. Modular filters must have reactor grounded
through a 2”x2” area cleaned of paint and varnish on lower mounting
bracket.
Only spare parts obtained from MTE Corporation, or an authorized MTE
distributor can be used.
Caution
Loose or improperly secured connections may damage or degrade filter
performance. Visually inspect and secure all electrical connections
before power is applied to the filter.
Wiring should not be routed underneath panel in resistor housing. Doing
so could result in fire or damage to the product.
Product should not be mounted on wood or any other combustible
surface. Doing so could lead to fire or damage to the product.
