Sine Wave Filter FN 5040, FN 5045, FN 5040 HV and customized FS- sine wave filter
Mounting and Installation Guidelines
Sine wave filter series are for use with power conversion equipment only (e.g. AC drives).
Please read and follow the following mounting and installation notes.
Filter placement
Lift the IP20-filter of series FN 5045 with appropriate crane using lifting eye bolts – smaller types may be
lifted manually by two persons (no lifting eye bolt applicable).
Never attempt to handle the filter with a fork lift!
Maximum Surrounding Air Temperature according the label of the filter.
For Use in a Pollution Degree 2 and Overvoltage Category III environments only.
The sine wave filter or the inductance unit (with separate capacitor bank) shall in principle be
mounted horizontally in order to respect a proper heat dissipation flow. To ensure an optimum
ventilation and thermal radiation, it is recommended to leave enough space towards
surrounding equipment, walls or components in all directions. A minimum free space below
and above the filter of >150 mm and >50 mm aside is required. The separate capacitor bank
can be mounted aside the inductance with a minimum air distance of 50 mm. Due to the heat
dissipation of the inductance it is not recommended to mount the capacitor bank above or on
top of the inductance.
