PREMO Launches New EMC Filter for PV Installations

July 08, 2010 by Jeff Shepard

PREMO announced its new FEDC DC EMC filter series which has been designed to reduce conducted emissions towards the solar panel and to reduce EMI radiations from the solar panel, allowing a longer solar panel lifetime. All together, this scheme increases installation service life. These dc filters in PV installations help increase solar panel reliability, increase immunity in the inverter control phase, avoiding any electromagnetic interference missfunction.

PREMO, an experienced manufacturer in filtering development for renewable energies applications, offers this compact solution to solar energy systems builders, the newest FEDC series. By means of using such filters, overall installation volume is reduced, compared to other existing solution, like reactors.

The FEDC Series, is available with ratings from 25 to 1500Adc, without terminals up to 150Adc and screw connections up to 1500Adc. Maximum operational voltage is 1200Vdc. Moreover, they are available without filter capacitors to ground. PREMO also designs and manufactures upon request customized filters to meet customer requirements.

PREMO FEDC DC EMC filter meets EN60939, UL1283 EMC requirements and RoHS directive. Their main applications are PV installations, and they can also be used in applications where primary energy source is DC, such as fuel cells, batteries, etc.
