Features and benefits
n
Typical applications
n
FN 256 filters are designed specifically for
applications involving asymmetric loads,
ranging from industrial controls to medical
electronics systems. These typically involve
insufficiently filtered converters and
switch-mode power supplies on different
phases, causing current imbalance and
significant interference problems.
Used as a mains input filter, FN 256 filters
also increase conducted immunity and
thus contribute to overall system reliability.

Choice of connection style as well as filter
ratings in line with common fuse values
support a fast and easy application-specific
filter selection and deployment.
n
A light weight aluminium housing with a
small footprint ensures that the filters can
be easily accommodated on control panels
and in tight power cabinets.
n
Employing single-stage filter circuits for
each phase and the neutral line, FN 256 fil-
ters provide high attenuation of both sym-
metrical and asymmetrical interference.

To compile a complete part number, please replace the -.. with the required I/O connection style.
Maximum leakage under normal operating conditions, based on the assumption that all three phases and the neutral conductor are connected to the supply and the consumer. In this case, the
current will mainly return through the neutral line, not as earth leakage.
*** Filters with -28 connections are rated for 40°C environmental temperature only.
Typical filter attenuation
Per CISPR 17; A = 50Ω/50Ω sym; B = 50Ω/50Ω asym; C = 0.1Ω/100Ω sym; D = 100Ω/0.1Ω sym
