Space is almost always at a premium in control cabinets for industrial applications in the 3-phase range (e.g. motor drives, control systems). SCHURTER addresses this problem with a complete new filter design that is just 44 mm in width. The new, single-stage filter series FPAC RAIL is constructed with a printed circuit board in a plastic housing. It has screw terminals for the three phases and a terminal on the metal base plate for the earth connection.
Standard and High-Performance Versions
In the standard version with a ferrite core, the new filters already offer very impressive attenuation behavior. The high-performance versions with nanocrystalline cores achieve up to 8 dB more attenuation.
Low Leakage Currents
The new filter family has particularly low leakage currents of just 1.3 mA. All versions can be used from -40 °C to 100 °C. The filters are designed for currents from 3 A to 32 A at a maximum of 520 VAC in accordance with IEC and UL standards. They feature ENEC and cURus approval and are suitable for applications in accordance with IEC 62368-1. FPAC Rail filters are recommended for devices with high EMC loads (switching power supplies, converters, etc.). Typical areas of application are therefore industrial or machine control systems, but the high-performance, slimline filters are also ideal for laboratory, telecom and IT devices.
