RCY6A-40

Overview

The RCY6A-40 is a three-phase (Wye) EMC/EMI line filter manufactured by R-K Electronics, Inc. It is designed for industrial applications with a voltage rating of 600VAC and operates at frequencies between 50Hz and 60Hz. The component features wire leads for connection and has an operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. Key electrical specifications include a capacitance of 0.47MFD and a resistance of 22 ohms. The unit weighs approximately 0.57 lbs and measures 1.50 inches in width, 3.00 inches in height, and 4.80 inches in depth.

Feature Summary

• Suppresses electromagnetic interference and radio frequency noise in three-phase power lines
• Designed for Wye configuration systems operating at 600VAC
• Utilizes wire lead termination for integration into electrical circuits

Applications

• Industrial equipment requiring EMI suppression
• Commercial power distribution systems
• Three-phase motor drive protection

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix requirements when ordering, as variants such as RCY6A-40R may exist with different physical dimensions or internal configurations. Confirm that the 600VAC rating aligns with your system's peak voltage demands. Ensure the wire lead length and gauge meet your installation constraints. Cross-reference the 0.47MFD capacitance value with your noise filtering requirements to ensure adequate performance for your specific application environment.

Selection Notes

Select this model for three-phase Wye systems requiring robust EMI/RFI attenuation at 600VAC. The 0.47MFD capacitance provides significant noise reduction for sensitive industrial loads. Consider the physical dimensions (1.50 x 3.00 x 4.80 inches) for enclosure space planning. The -40°C to 85°C operating range suits most indoor industrial environments. Verify compatibility with 50/60Hz supply frequencies before deployment.

Part Context

The RCY6A-40 belongs to the RCY series of power line filters from R-K Electronics, Inc. This series includes various models like RCY6A-30 and RCY6A-72, differentiated by capacitance and resistance values. These components are standard solutions for mitigating conducted emissions in three-phase AC power networks, ensuring compliance with electromagnetic compatibility standards in commercial and industrial settings.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include RCY6A-30 and RCY6A-72, though these differ in capacitance (0.47MFD vs other values) and resistance ratings. Ensure any replacement maintains the 600VAC rating and three-phase Wye configuration. Verify that the physical footprint and terminal type (wire leads) match the existing installation to avoid rewiring modifications.
