The Schaffner Group enhances its family of IEC Lock power cords with Japanese PSE approvals for existing IL13 family and introduces the new IL19 family for currents up to 16A.

The FN5040HV sine wave filters from the market leader Schaffner are now available for 690VAC and 600VAC applications. In combination with variable speed drives extra losses in AC motors are reduced and help to prolongate the motor life time. They are precisely matching the technical requirements of modern drive systems and are particularly impressive when used with long motor cables.

Schaffner has released a new power quality simulator called SchaffnerPQS. This free software meets the needs of customers and partners and helps developing fast, reliable and cost effective studies of electrical power systems on a real-time basis.

The new FN 9264S IEC Power Entry Modules extend market leader Schaffner's wide-ranging product line with a 2-pole power switch version for snap-in mounting. The standard version can be used for a panel thickness from 1.0 to 2.5mm and is appealing due to very good damping characteristics and an outstanding performance/size ratio.

The SCHAFFNER Group has adapted the power cord family IL13 according to the new requirements of Swiss safety standard.

The Schaffner Group is further expanding its power quality product offering with new passive harmonic filters. The series FN3416 (50Hz) and FN3418 (60Hz) of the ECOsine™ Economy Line close the gap between full-performance filters and simple reactor-based solutions. They are particularly suitable for applications where available space is scarce and a cost-effective solution for harmonics mitigation is required.

The Schaffner Group further broadens its product offering of solutions for the improvement of power quality. The popular active harmonic filters ECOsine™ Active are new also available for 3-phase 200V power grids.

The Schaffner Group has expanded its product range by the single-stage FN9280 and double-stage FN9290 IEC inlet filters. The new EMC/EMI filter modules with type C14 IEC appliance inlet set the benchmark due to their ultra-compact design, patented combined switch and fuse holder unit, the versatile flange mount system for fast and flexible installation and are either deliverable with fast-on or spring cage terminals.

Market leader Schaffner's sinusoidal filters FN5040/45 provide optimal motor protection in controlled drive systems. With the recently granted UL (Underwriters Laboratories Inc.) approval, the filters meet American safety standards.

To celebrate its 50th anniversary, the Schaffner Group - world leader in the development, production and sales of EMC and Power Magnetics solutions for the efficient and reliable operation of electronic systems - has revamped its website.

SCHAFFNER EMV AG, headquartered in Luterbach, Switzerland, has added the RB series to its product program of current-compensated chokes. The chokes are available as one- and three-phase designs in horizontal and vertical construction for currents from 16 to 50A.

The new FN 9264 IEC Power Entry Modules extend market leader Schaffner's wide-ranging product line with a 2-pole power switch version. They are mechanically compatible with the proven FN 9263 series with 1-pole power switch and are appealing due to very good damping characteristics and an outstanding performance/size ratio.

The SCHAFFNER Group has extended its product portfolio of IEC inlet filters to include the power cord range IL13 with integrated locking system.

The EMC filters in the FN 2450 range have successfully passed certification by UL (Underwriters Laboratories, USA). Now equipment intended for export to the USA can also benefit from the functional light-weight construction of the filters and from their greatly reduced leakage current compared to conventional filters.

The Schaffner Group expands its successful IEC power­ entry module family with the safety version FN9260A. With integrated fuse holder and a reduced leakage current of maximum 74 microamperes, the new filter series is particularly suitable for use in medical equipment. The filters are available with currents from 1 to 10 A both as a version for flange­ mounting as well as a snap-in variant. With the UL, CSA and ENEC approvals, the safety version of the IEC power entry module FN9260A can be used worldwide and complies with the requirements of RoHS and REACH.

Passive harmonic filters are an excellent tool for improving the compatibility of motor drives with the public power grid.  Schaffner extends the popular ECOsine™ product range with filters for 690V systems, supporting a straightforward upgrade from standard motor drives to «low harmonic drives».

dv/dt filters significantly contribute to the system reliability of wind turbine or motor drive applications. Innovative liquid cooled filters from Schaffner allow for a seamless integration into the overall cooling concept of power electronics.

The FN5040/45 sinusoidal output filters reduce the extra losses in AC motors and help to prevent premature failures and expensive downtimes. They are precisely matched to the technical requirements of modern drive systems and are particularly impressive when used with long motor cables.

By using the new EMC/EMI filters FN 3268 from Schaffner, you can prevent costly downtimes and lost production caused by accidental tripping of AC/DC sensitive residual current operated devices used in conjunction with frequency inverters.
