STF Series – Active Tracking® Filters
Low voltage/high frequency noise is caused by everyday
events such as turning on machinery, motors, or equipment.
Although noise is less dramatic than high voltage transients,
the long term effects of these frequent disturbances can
be as damaging. Filtering systems such as SolaHD Active
Tracking® Filters provide clean AC power by eliminating
lower voltage noise.
The SolaHD STF Series offers the original active tracking
technology to guard against commonly occurring but very
damaging, lower energy transients. Offering excellent noise
reduction, the lter continuously tracks the input AC power
line and responds instantly upon detecting extraneous high
frequency noise.
The STF Series eliminates low voltage/high frequency noise
via a low-pass or L-C lter. These lters are used for low
energy, high frequency noise reduction and consist of a
series of inductors, capacitors and resistors. STFs are load
dependent which means that the series inductors located on
each phase and neutral conductors are sized to handle the
maximum current draw on the line. These inductors together
with the capacitors and resistors form a circuit capable of
absorbing a large bandwidth of noise.
These devices are designed to meet UL 1283, and CSA
C22.2 No. 8 for Electromagnetic Interference Filters. STFs
attenuate or reduce the amplitude of noise to a minimum
of 40dB that occurs in a frequency range of 50 KHz to
50 MHz. They also provide the industry’s best IEEE Category
“A” protection, typically reducing normal mode transients
to +/- 5 volts.
Built to meet your unique requirements, these lters are
available in a multitude of voltage congurations. They are
hardwired and designed for years of trouble free operation
requiring little or no operator intervention after installation.
Active Tracking® Filters are one part of a total power
quality solution. They can be used alone or in conjunction
with other SolaHD products to solve more complex power
quality problems.
