Product News

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.
