Eaton F880-CL-PS Single‑Phase EMC Filter

The Eaton F880-CL-PS is a high‑performance electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) filter designed to suppress conducted interference on AC power lines. Rated for 16 A continuous current at 250 VAC, it is ideal for medical devices, test equipment, and industrial controls where low leakage current and reliable noise attenuation are critical. The filter is housed in a rugged metal case with chassis mounting flanges, ensuring mechanical robustness and effective shielding.

Key Features

• Current rating: 16 A @ 40 °C (derating above)

• Voltage: 250 VAC, 50/60 Hz (single‑phase)

• Low leakage current:<0.5 mA @ 250 VAC / 60 Hz (suitable for medical applications)

• High attenuation: >40 dB common‑mode from 1‑30 MHz

• Metal case (nickel‑plated steel) for EMI shielding

• Fast‑on terminals (6.3 mm) or wire leads (depending on version)

• Chassis mount with mounting holes for secure installation

• Complies with UL 1283, CSA C22.2 No. 8, and EN 60939

Technical Specifications

Construction

The filter uses high‑quality ferrite cores and metallized polyester capacitors to achieve superior noise attenuation. Components are encapsulated within the metal case to resist vibration and environmental contaminants. The terminals are clearly marked LINE and LOAD to prevent miswiring. Optional IEC inlet versions are available for direct power entry applications.

Applications

• Medical equipment (patient monitors, imaging devices) requiring low leakage

• Industrial automation: PLCs, drives, power supplies

• Telecommunications infrastructure

• Test and measurement instruments

• Audio/video equipment and broadcast systems

Installation

The F880-CL-PS should be mounted as close as possible to the power entry point of the equipment. Both line and load wires should be kept short and away from noise sources. The metal case must be connected to protective earth (PE) to ensure safety and optimum filter performance. Use appropriate fast‑on connectors or solder directly to terminals.

With its robust design and excellent filtering characteristics, the Eaton F880-CL-PS ensures compliance with global EMC standards and improves the reliability of sensitive electronic equipment.
