UMI-S0038 Unitronics UMI-B1 22-30kW 3P OUT FLT C2
MPN: UMI-S0038
Alt. SKU: UMIS0038
Why Choose the Unitronics UMI-S0038 EMC Output Filter?
The Unitronics UMI-S0038 is a heavy-duty EMC C2 output filter designed to minimise electromagnetic interference generated by industrial variable frequency drives (VFDs). Installed between the inverter output and the motor, the filter suppresses high-frequency switching noise and helps automation systems comply with IEC / EN 61800-3 electromagnetic compatibility standards.
Engineered for three-phase drive systems operating around 380 V AC, the UMI-S0038 supports drives rated approximately 11 kW to 15 kW (15–20 HP) and features a 65 A rated current. It is commonly used with Unitronics B1 and B5 series variable frequency drives to reduce inverter emissions and protect nearby electronic equipment within industrial control panels.
By filtering inverter switching noise before it reaches motor cables, the UMI-S0038 helps prevent interference affecting PLCs, sensors and communication networks while improving system reliability in demanding industrial automation environments.
