Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Why is EMI filtering important for PLC systems?
A: PLC systems are highly sensitive to electromagnetic interference. Without proper filtering, EMI can cause false triggering, data corruption, communication errors, and system failures. Our High-Efficiency EMI Filter ensures reliable PLC operation by suppressing noise before it reaches sensitive components.
Q: How does this filter differ from standard power line filters?
A: Our High-Efficiency EMI Filter is specifically engineered for industrial automation applications. It offers superior high-frequency noise suppression (≥40dB attenuation), industrial-grade construction for harsh environments, and compliance with international industrial standards that standard filters may not meet.
Q: Can this filter be used with three-phase systems?
A: Yes, we offer both single-phase and three-phase configurations. The filter shown is part of our comprehensive product line that includes solutions for various industrial power configurations.
Q: What maintenance is required for these filters?
A: Our High-Efficiency EMI Filters are designed for maintenance-free operation. They feature sealed construction and high-quality components that provide long-term reliability without requiring regular maintenance under normal operating conditions.
Q: How do I select the right current rating for my application?
A: Choose a filter with a current rating equal to or greater than the maximum expected load current of your PLC system. Consider future expansion and include a safety margin of 20-30% for optimal performance and longevity.
