Leakage current reduction filters NF-DAR

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document is a product data sheet for the NF-DAR leakage current reduction filters, designed to suppress unwanted leakage currents of ≥ 2 kHz, enhancing safety for devices with Residual Current Devices (RCDs). These filters are suitable for nominal currents ranging from 10 A to 300 A.
Specifications:
  • Nominal Currents: 10 A to 300 A
  • Nominal Voltage: 520 VAC, 3-phase
  • Frequency Range: DC up to 63 Hz
  • Overload Capability: 4 times rated current at switch on, then 1.5 times rated current for 1 minute, once per hour
  • Construction: Metal housing with chassis mounting
  • Protection Degree: Up to 180 A: IP 20, from 300 A: IP 00
  • Flammability Class: UL 94V-2 or better
  • Climate Category: -25 °C to +85 °C
  • Approvals: CE, built according to EN 60939, UL 1283, RoHS, CSA 22.2 No. 8
Functionality: The NF-DAR filters are designed to reduce leakage currents caused by long motor cables, providing high attenuation in the switching frequency range and preventing unwanted RCD trippings. They are suitable for use with frequency inverters and servo controllers.
Performance Data: The document includes graphs showing leakage current measurements over time and frequency, demonstrating the effectiveness of the NF-DAR filters in reducing leakage currents to prevent RCD tripping.
Application Example: An example is provided where a 1.5 kW three-phase AC motor with a frequency inverter and 50 meters of shielded motor cable shows leakage current peaks up to 2 A. The NF-DAR filter reduces these currents significantly, allowing for stable operation without RCD tripping.
Technical Data: Detailed technical specifications are provided, including dimensions, connection types, and weight for various models of the NF-DAR filters.
Conclusion: The NF-DAR leakage current reduction filters are essential for ensuring the safe operation of frequency inverters and other devices with RCDs, particularly in installations with long motor cables where high leakage currents are a concern.

Leakage current reduction filters NF-DAR-4

Operating a frequency inverter on a RCD can be a challenge! EMV-Maßnahmen (wie Netzfilter, Motorfilter, Schirmung der Motorleitung) erhöhen den Ableitstrom auf Werte, die nicht selten den FI-Schutzschalter zur Auslösung zwingen. FI-Schutzschalter können nicht zwischen betriebsbedingten Ableitströmen und echten Fehlerströmen unterscheiden. Für den Personenschutz sind FI-Schutzschalter mit einem Bemessungsdifferenzstrom von 30 mA (VDE 0100-410) und für den Brandschutz 300 mA bzw. 420 mA (VDE 0100-482) vorgeschrieben. Seit der Einführung des allstromsensitiven FI-Schutzschalters (Typ B) und des...
