3-line EMC filters

Epcos has extended its 3-line EMC filters by a series for frequency converters. It is distinguished by outstanding attenuation properties that offer decisive advantages especially with long motor leads. Cable-based measurements of commercial frequency converters showed that the EN 55011 limits were observed for class A up to 300 m and class B up to 200 m as well as for class C2 up to 300 m and class C1 up to 200 m as specified by EN 61800-3. The filters of the B84143D*R127 series are designed for currents from 16 to 200 A at a rated voltage of 520 V. Their high rated temperature of 50 °C also makes them well suited for fitting in switching cabinets. Thanks to their proven book-style housing, these filters can even be effectively incorporated under conditions of limited space. Applications of these input filters include pumps, HVAC, printing machines and conveyor systems.
