To guarantee that electrical and electronic equipment does not produce electromagnetic disturbances or is not impacted by them, EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) filters are utilized.
EMC filters lessen the electromagnetic noise that is transferred between the drive and the main power source. Unless otherwise requested by the user, an internal EMC filter is a standard feature of all Optidrives, and this is enough for the majority of industrial applications.
The EMC filter must be able to attenuate undesired signals to the necessary degree while still allowing desired signals to pass through. Additionally, the source and load impedances of the EMC filter must be matched.
Since the majority of electromagnetic noise occurs at higher frequencies, EMI filters frequently function as low-pass filters that block out high frequencies while allowing lower frequencies to pass. Certain noise frequencies are suppressed by certain EMI line filters, while others are unaffected.
There are several applications for EMI filters. Computers, radios, computers, laboratory equipment, and military and medical equipment all contain them.
The Global EMC filtration market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
Schurter launches a new single-phase EMC filter. The new FMAB NEO single-phase EMC filter from Schurter has been released for Protection Class II applications. The company’s EMC filter family has been expanded to include Protection Class I and Class II variants with the introduction of this new double-insulated filter without a protective ground.
According to IEC 60601-1-11 and 12, the Class II version satisfies the stricter standards for essential medical systems and at-home medical care equipment. These specifications call for greater insulation safety testing, decreased leakage current, and improved electro-magnetic interference attenuation performance, particularly symmetrical attenuation.
Protective insulation is another name for Protection Class II. It is further described as protection when the insulation around live parts is doubled or strengthened. The interior of the filter must have double or reinforced insulation, and all clearances and creepage distances must be doubled.
With enhanced insulation inside the filter and substantial plastic collars around the terminals, the new FMAB NEO for Class II complies with these criteria.
