General Purpose RFI Power Line Filters – Ideal for High Impedance Load
K Series
K Series
Maximum leakage current each Line to Ground:
VK Models EK Models
@ 120 VAC 60 Hz: .5 mA .21 mA
@250 VAC 50 Hz: 1.0 mA .36 mA
Hipot rating (one minute):
Line to Ground: 2250 VDC
Line to Line: 1450 VDC
Rated Voltage (max): 250 VAC
Operating Frequency: 50/60 Hz
Rated Current: 1 to 60A*
Operating Ambient Temperature Range
(at rated current Ir): -10°C to +40°C
In an ambient temperature (T
a) higher than +40°C
the maximum operating current (Io) is calculated as
follows: Io= Ir(85-Ta)/45
• Suitable for high impedance loads
• Well suited to applications where pulsed,
continuous and/or intermittent RFI interference
is present
• EK models meet the very low leakage current
requirements for VDE portable equipment and
non-patient care medical equipment
• Available with ground line inductor (choke)
Ordering Information
