AMC1210IRHAR

The AMC1210IRHAR is an active interface filter designed to provide ground fault protection, noise filtering and isolation. The filter was designed for industrial and commercial applications and is considered a robust option for protecting electronic devices from power line disturbances and surges. The filter includes a wide range of design features which provide a reliable, consistent and responsive solution to filter manufacturer and customer applications. This article considers the application fields, working principle and the components of the AMC1210IRHAR.

Application Field

The AMC1210IRHAR is a digital filter designed for industrial and commercial applications. It provides protection against voltage surge and transient overvoltages in industrial motor drives and process control systems, as well as providing selective protection against power line disturbances. The filter also provides EMF and RFI protection and is capable of supporting high power applications. The AMC1210IRHAR is also suitable for use in medical equipment, video and audio equipment, point of sale systems, building control systems and general purpose switching equipment. Additionally, the filter is suited to applications such as electric vehicle charging where the filter isolates the power supply from the motor.

Working Principle

The AMC1210IRHAR filter provides ground fault protection, noise filtering and isolation. This is achieved through a combination of a three-way contact switch, which enables the filter to sense and disconnect any ground fault, a low-pass and high-pass filter, which filter out any unwanted noise and disturbances, and an isolation transformer, which completely separates the power supply from the load. The filter also includes a self-polarizing feature that ensures the contact switch will always open the line when the design current is exceeded.

The filter operates by monitoring the AC power supply for any changes in the current or voltage. If a ground fault or other interruption is detected, the contact switch will open the line and disconnect the load from the power source. The filter also incorporates low-pass and high-pass filters that reduce the amount of unwanted noise in the power supply by selectively filtering out certain frequencies. The isolation transformer also increases the amount of protection by completely isolating the load from the power source.

Components of the AMC1210IRHAR

The AMC1210IRHAR filter is comprised of a three-way contact switch, a low-pass and high-pass filter, and an isolation transformer. The contact switch is designed to detect any changes in the current or voltage of the AC supply and open the line if a ground fault or other interruption is detected. The low-pass and high-pass filters selectively filter out unwanted noise in the power supply. Finally, the isolation transformer completely isolates the load from the power source, protecting the load from any voltage or current spikes.

The AMC1210IRHAR is a robust and reliable filter which provides protection against power line disturbances and surges in industrial and commercial applications. The filter’s design features provide a consistent and responsive solution that meets the requirements of a wide range of applications. Moreover, the components of the filter enable it to protect equipment from ground faults and power line disturbances, making it an ideal choice for the industrial and commercial sectors.
