## **Features and benefits** 

- n FN 256 filters are designed specifically for applications involving asymmetric loads, ranging from industrial controls to medical electronics systems. These typically involve insufficiently filtered converters and switch-mode power supplies on different phases, causing current imbalance and significant interference problems. 

- n Employing single-stage filter circuits for each phase and the neutral line, FN 256 filters provide high attenuation of both symmetrical and asymmetrical interference. 

- n Used as a mains input filter, FN 256 filters also increase conducted immunity and thus contribute to overall system reliability. 

- n Choice of connection style as well as filter ratings in line with common fuse values support a fast and easy application-specific filter selection and deployment. 

- n A light weight aluminium housing with a small footprint ensures that the filters can be easily accommodated on control panels and in tight power cabinets. 

## **Typical applications** 

- n General purpose four-wire filtering 

- n High-power office equipment 

- n Power supplies 

- n UPS 

- n Medical applications 

- n Electrical cabinets 

- n Control panels

* To compile a complete part number, please replace the -.. with the required I/O connection style. 

** Maximum leakage under normal operating conditions, based on the assumption that all three phases and the neutral conductor are connected to the supply and the consumer. In this case, the current will mainly return through the neutral line, not as earth leakage. 

- *** Filters with -28 connections are rated for 40°C environmental temperature only. 

## **Typical filter attenuation** 

Per CISPR 17; A = 50Ω/50Ω sym; B = 50Ω/50Ω asym; C = 0.1Ω/100Ω sym; D = 100Ω/0.1Ω sym
