PLF2010 Ac Power Line Filter

Category

Description

Electrical surges induced in power distribution systems due to lightning, electrical faults, and switching of electrical equipment, etc., can cause destructively high voltage transients which will damage electronic equipment connected to the system.
HTM PLF2010 AC power line filter is a versatile, low-cost, and compact power line filter that is used to provide the final stage of surge protection for electrical and electronic equipment that connect directly to the AC power supply. The unit is housed in a flanged, easy-to-install ABS enclosure with standard plug and sockets for direct connection to equipment.

Features

  • High Surge Rating HTM PLF2010 power line filter incorporates a 3-pole 20kA rated gas discharge tube which enables high discharge of surge current to earth in the event of serious lightning.
  • High Load Current Rating The high capacity of the proprietary filter module embedded in the unit enables the HTM PLF2010 power line filter to provide a continuous load current of up to 10A without any problem throughout its lifespan.
  • Effective Noise Filtering The proprietary filter module is manufactured by a world leader in electronic filters which has long-proven performance records. The module incorporated has been specially selected based on its performance in noise filtering.
  • Convenient Fixing Enclosure HTM PLF2010 power line filters are low-cost yet reliable AC power line filters that are designed to be easily installed in any working environment. They can be wall-mounted or simply left on the working tables where the power point is connected to. No special tool is required.
  • Humidity/Dew Immunity The major electronic components of PLF2010 power line filters are potted with potting compound. This eliminates the risk of electronic failure due to humidity and short circuits of internal components.
  • High Service Life The main component of HTM PLF2010 power line filters consists of filters of reputable make which have an MTBF of up to 1,250,000 hours. High service life can be expected.

Application

HTM PLF2010 consists of a three-pole gas discharge tube in series with a proprietary power line filter module. It is embedded in a pleasing and convenient enclosure to achieve effective filtering of power surges and noises induced by lightning or electrical switchings in the power line connected.
When an electrical surge is detected in the incoming power line, the gas discharge tube connected between the two lines and earth will conduct the high voltage transients to the earth for a very short interval. The resultant spikes in the incoming surge are then filtered through the proprietary filter module which effectively smooths the output to acceptable levels for effective protection.
