Schurter has introduced the FMBC EP double-stage filter family for three-phase systems.
Thanks to its compact dimensions and high performance, the new filter series is suited for tight space conditions in machine and industrial plant construction.
Space is scarce in control cabinets for industrial applications in the three-phase range. Schurter has addressed this with a complete filter redesign, which is more compact than previous generations. The new, almost cuboidal design makes use of the space in the housing.
The double-stage filter family is therefore also appropriate for applications with particularly high EMC emissions, as is frequently encountered in industry. Typical applications include machines and systems for automatic production, motor drives and industrial plant machinery.
The FMBC EP series features screw terminals for absolutely safe wiring. Thanks to the metal flange, an excellent earth connection is ensured when screwed to the chassis.
The standard types can be used over a wide temperature range from -40 °C to 100 °C. The filters are designed for currents from 16 A to 230 A at an ambient temperature of 50 °C. They have both ENEC and cURus approval and are recommended for applications up to 520 VAC or even 760 VAC.
The standard versions are designed for industrial applications with leakage currents <4 mA. Special variants with leakage currents <1 mA are available for leakage current critical applications.
The completely redesigned FMBC EP models can replace all types of Schurter FMBC and FMBC NEO filters.
