A revolutionary modular system for frequency drives launched by REO UK incorporates EMC filters, braking resistors, sinusoidal filters, motor chokes and dV/dt filters into a standardised unit
It is designed to help all users, installers, specifiers and sales personnel to easily understand what can be a complex area, without the need to have a background in, or have a working knowledge of, electrical engineering.
The guide covers an interesting history of electromagnetic theory and summarises the latest EU directives.
It progresses into the area of EMC filters and the selection criteria that should be used to overcome problems and meet EU requirements.
Finally, testing and installation procedures are covered.
The new guide is the second in a series of power quality mini-guides.
It is available, free of charge, along with the first mini-guide, "Power quality for variable speed drives". Request a free brochure from REO (UK) ...
