Nanocrystalline single-phase filters for industrial apps
KEMET has announced the launch of GTX plastic box single-phase filters. These filters reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) generated from power lines within 250VAC single-phase electrical systems.
Electromagnetic conducted noise is a common occurrence, but if left unchecked, it may cause disruptions in the operation of a circuit or other electronic devices. The GTX series of filters suppress excess EMI noise in power supply systems for industrial, commercial, and medical applications.
According to a February 2020 report by Stratistics Market Research Consulting, the global industrial power supply market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.4% to reach USD 15 billion by 2027 from USD 8 billion in 2018. As the demand for industrial power supply devices increases globally, the need for advanced EMI filters to accompany these devices will likely follow.
The GTX series filter uses a unique material and design which provides superior EMI attenuation performance. The filter contains a nanocrystalline core, which offers higher permeability and lower losses than ferrite material cores found in other EMI filters. This nanocrystalline core allows for a compact, lightweight, and high-density design resulting in the highest attenuation capability and smallest volumetric package compared to other EMI filters now available in the market.
GTX’s design not only increases circuit board space but also improves performance in single-phase power supply systems for commercial and medical applications, such as point-of-sale terminals, vending machines, and medical imaging equipment. Additionally, the GTX series offers five rated current ranges (six to 30A) which can be paired with six Class-Y capacitors, resulting in 30 different component combinations supporting general-purpose inverters in machine tools, welders, 3D printers, and other industrial applications.
The GTX plastic box single-phase filters are available immediately via KEMET distributors.
