EMC FiltersIn the vicinity of electronics and control systems, there is often high powered equipment and cabling. In these situations it is possible that electronic circuits can be affected by these mains carrying components in such a way that signals become corrupted. Corrupted signals, especially in industrial surroundings, can lead to faulty operations or the disruption of a production line. These interferences are caused by mains failure, harmonic distortion and transient switching voltages. The important frequency range lies mostly between 10 kHz and 100 MHz with the majority of this between 100 kHz and 10 MHz.Mains filters are used to...
