EPCOS has extended its 3-line EMC filters by a high-performance 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 new EMC input filters include pumps, HVAC, printing machines and conveyor systems.Learn more at the EPCOSweb site.
