Schaffner sinusoidal FN5040/45 output filters range

A range of Schaffner sinusoidal FN5040/45 output filters which ensure cooler and more reliable drives has been released.

As well as preventing premature failures and downtimes, the filters are precisely matched to the technical requirements of modern drive systems, reducing the extra losses of AC motors.

The devices smooth the modulated output voltage of modern drives and provide the AC motor with a clean sinusoidal voltage with low residual ripple, in turn preventing premature ageing and destruction of the motor.

The filters are available in a compact open frame design (FN5040) or as a user-friendly packaged version (FN5045 - IP20) - both of which are suited to commercial applications.

Both models are designed for rated currents of 4.5 to 1200 A and for networks up to 3 x 500 VAC (±10%) and the cable-shield support brackets, that are integrated into the housing, ensure savings on installation time.
