January 24, 2005 by Jeff Shepard

Schaffner Ltd. (Wokingham, UK), a supplier of EMC components and test equipment, announces new models in its FN3258 range and improvements to the means of connection via new "touch-safe" connecting terminals. The FN3258 Series of EMC filters is suitable for applications in three-phase drive technology, inverter, machine control and panel manufacture, as well as heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems and three-phase power supplies and uninterruptible power supplies.

The FN3258 offers attenuation performance in a compact and lightweight package. The small footprint and slim profile enables the filter to be fitted cleanly in small control panel spaces. The FN3258 Series are available rated up to 480 Vac and 520 Vac continuous operating voltage at currents from 7 A to 180 A, making them suitable for EMC suppression of motor drives with high noise levels and long connecting cable runs. The operating frequency range is from dc to 60 Hz and over the temperature range –25 °C to +100 °C. The filters are designed to UL1283, CSA22.2 No.8 1986 and EN133’200, with a mean time between failure of >300,000 hours.
