New EMC filter for regenerative applications
New EMC filter for regenerative applications Schaffner has announced the introduction of the FN3840, an EMC filter for use in Active Infeed Converter (AIC) or Active Front End (AFE) applications where energy is fed back to the power grid. This process is designed to reduce energy costs in larger factories or can be used to reduce losses and excess heat in converters. When the semiconductors of the converters are switching directly towards the mains power network, they create a high voltage and current ripple - the inclusion of an LCL-filter such as the FN6840 can furt...
