SCHURTER: FPAC RAIL – 3-Phase DIN Rail-Filter
July 30, 2024
SCHURTER launches a new FPAC Rail 3-phase filter series for DIN rail mounting. Thanks to the slim housing (44 mm), it takes up very little space on the mounting rail in the control cabinet. The single-stage filter is available with standard or high attenuation. A metal base plate ensures an excellent ground connection to the rail.
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 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 FPAC Rail filter family has particularly low leakage currents of just 1.3 mA. This applies to all versions!
Applications
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.
