VDE Approved

Catalog Data Sheet

HQ Series

The HQ series power line filters provide the highest available common-mode and differential-mode attenuation to RFI noise in the frequency range from 10kHz to 30MHz, for IEC 60601 and UL2601 patient-connected equipment, as well as all other electronic equipment that cannot tolerate any leakage current.

They are a size- and more cost-effective solution to the problem of meeting both medical leakage current limits and conducted emissions limits in equipment with high noise sources (such as switching power supplies). HQ series filters can help meet the following Conducted Emissions standards:

European Normalized Standards based on EN55022, Level B
FCC Part 15, Computing Devices, Class B.
FCC Part 18, ISM Equipment, Industrial and Consumer.

See Appendix C for more information on UL2601 health care applications

Note: When using the models with an IEC connector, remember that the leakage current of the companion line cord, GA400, is more significant than that of the filter - which may disqualify this line cord from use in patient care applications.
