Preliminary data
Cautions and warnings
General
Thyristor modules TSM series may only be used for the purpose they have been designed for.
Thyristor modules TSM series may only be used in combination with appropriate pre-switched grid
separator device.
Thyristor modules have to be projected in such a way that in case of any failure no uncontrolled
high current and voltages may occur.
The devices in operation have to be protected against moisture and dust, sufficient cooling has to
be assured.
Attention
Due to the switching principle of the thyristor module the power capacitors are permanently loaded to
the peak value of the grid voltage (DC voltage) even when switched off. Therefore the following rules
have to be obeyed in any case:
For standard PFC-systems (without reactors) power capacitors of 440 V nominal voltage have to
be used; for detuned systems PFC capacitors of 525 V nominal voltage have to be used.
Due to the high voltage (2 x peak value of nominal voltage) that occurs, the discharge resistors of
the power capacitors have to be replaced by special types.
In dynamic systems with TSM modules no fast discharge reactors may be used (reactor = DC-
wise short circuit).
For standard PFC-systems 2 current limiting reactors are mandatory per thyristor module.
Thyristor modules in general have to be protected by superfast electronic fuses. Principles for
dimensioning have to be considered. Fuses in the system have to be marked.
Due to the special switching, the PFC capacitors are fully loaded even when the particular step
has been switched off. Protection against contact has to be guaranteed. Warning signals in the
systems are required.
Even in switched off state no electrical isolation is achieved for electronic switches. Therefore
parts of the systems may not be touched after switching off the complete system before the
capacitors have been completely discharged.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW CAUTIONS MAY RESULT, WORST CASE, IN PREMATURE FAILURES OR
PHYSICAL INJURY.

Please read cautions information about PFC capacitors and cautions as well as installation and maintenance instructions in the actual
version of the Product Profile Power Factor Correction to ensure optimum performance and prevent products from failing, and in worst case,
bursting and fire, etc
.

Important notes
The following applies to all products named in this publication:
1. Some parts of this publication contain statements about the suitability of our products for
certain areas of application. These statements are based on our knowledge of typical
requirements that are often placed on our products in the areas of application concerned. We
nevertheless expressly point out that such statements cannot be regarded as binding
statements about the suitability of our products for a particular customer application. As a
rule, EPCOS is either unfamiliar with individual customer applications or less familiar with them
than the customers themselves. For these reasons, it is always ultimately incumbent on the
customer to check and decide whether an EPCOS product with the properties described in the
product specification is suitable for use in a particular customer application.
2. We also point out that in individual cases, a malfunction of passive electronic components
or failure before the end of their usual service life cannot be completely ruled out in the
current state of the art, even if they are operated as specified. In customer applications
requiring a very high level of operational safety and especially in customer applications in which
the malfunction or failure of a passive electronic component could endanger human life or health
(e.g. in accident prevention or life-saving systems), it must therefore be ensured by means of
suitable design of the customer application or other action taken by the customer (e.g. installation
of protective circuitry or redundancy) that no injury or damage is sustained by third parties in the
event of malfunction or failure of a passive electronic component.
3. The warnings, cautions and product-specific notes must be observed.
4. In order to satisfy certain technical requirements, some of the products described in this
publication may contain substances subject to restrictions in certain jurisdictions (e.g.
because they are classed as "hazardous"). Useful information on this will be found in our
Material Data Sheets on the Internet (www.epcos.com/material). Should you have any more
detailed questions, please contact our sales offices.
5. We constantly strive to improve our products. Consequently, the products described in this
publication may change from time to time. The same is true of the corresponding product
specifications. Please check therefore to what extent product descriptions and specifications
contained in this publication are still applicable before or when you place an order.
We also reserve the right to discontinue production and delivery of products. Consequently,
we cannot guarantee that all products named in this publication will always be available.
6.
Unless otherwise agreed in individual contracts, all orders are subject to the current version of
the "General Terms of Delivery for Products and Services in the Electrical Industry"
published by the German Electrical and Electronics Industry Association (ZVEI).
7. The trade names EPCOS, EPCOS-JONES, Baoke, CeraDiode, CSSP, MLSC, PhaseCap,
