FC Series

Single Phase External Power Line Filter for Frequency Converters

UL Recognized

Catalog Data Sheet

FC Series

The FC filters provide filtering for frequency inverters and variable speed motor drives. Designed for very noisy applications, they attenuate conducted interference at low and high frequency ranges and protect programmable logic controllers from RF noise on the AC power line. These filters perform best when installed on the line side of the motor drive.

The FC filters better prevent noise from returning to the line, enabling equipment to meet strict European regulations on RFI. Suited for field wiring applications, these filters are ideal for EMC troubleshooting and field refurbishing. The FC filters feature side flanges for easy mounting and DIN type terminals which eliminate live metal parts, allowing safer and easier connection. The filters could also be sold as an accessory to motor drives marketed into Europe.
