FB-40060A - 60A EMC Line filter for CIMR-AC4A0044FAA, CIMR-AC4A0058AAA

Why Choose the Yaskawa FB-40060A EMC/RFI Input Filter?

The Yaskawa FB-40060A is a heavy-duty EMC/RFI input line filter designed for use with Yaskawa A1000 series inverter drives. Installed between the incoming mains supply and the drive input terminals, this filter suppresses conducted electromagnetic interference produced by variable frequency drives, helping installations meet industrial electromagnetic compatibility requirements.

Variable frequency drives generate high-frequency switching noise which can propagate through the power network and affect nearby automation equipment. The FB-40060A attenuates these disturbances at the input stage of the inverter, improving the reliability of PLCs, sensors and control electronics connected to the same electrical system.

Rated for three-phase 380–480 V systems up to 60 A, this EMC filter is typically used with larger A1000 inverter drives controlling motors from approximately 18.5 kW to 30 kW. The unit is designed for control panel installation and supports compliance with industrial EMC standards such as EN 55011 Class B.

EMC Protection for Variable Frequency Drives

Variable frequency drives control motor speed using high-frequency switching electronics. These switching signals can introduce electrical noise into the power system, potentially affecting nearby devices. EMC filters such as the FB-40060A reduce these disturbances before they reach the supply network, helping installations comply with international EMC standards and improving system stability.

Installing a mains input filter is standard practice in industrial automation systems where multiple drives, PLCs and electronic devices operate within the same electrical infrastructure.

Typical Applications

• Yaskawa A1000 inverter drive installations.
• Industrial motor control systems.
• Conveyor and material handling equipment.
• Packaging and manufacturing machinery.
• Automation systems requiring EMC compliance.
