RG1676-12

Overview

The Electrocube RG1676-12 is a single-phase RC EMI filter designed for arc and noise suppression in heavy-duty applications. It features a first-order low-pass configuration with one channel. The component integrates a resistor of 220 Ohms and a capacitor of 0.5 microfarads (50 MFD). It is rated for 480 VAC operation and utilizes a four-lead block mounting style.

Feature Summary

• Provides effective arc and noise suppression for industrial systems
• Designed for heavy-duty applications requiring significant power handling
• Single-phase RC network construction for EMI/RFI filtering

Applications

• Industrial motor control centers
• Heavy-duty power circuit noise suppression
• Arc suppression in electrical switching equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation to confirm the exact resistance, capacitance, and voltage ratings, as variations exist within the series. Ensure the 4-lead block mounting style matches the installation requirements. Confirm whether the unit is new surplus or used, as warranty coverage may differ significantly between conditions. Check for any physical damage to the block housing before integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust, single-phase RC filter is required for high-power environments. The 220 Ohm resistor and 0.5 microfarad capacitor combination targets specific frequency attenuation needs. Consider the 480 VAC rating to ensure compatibility with the system's operating voltage. The block form factor is suitable for panel mounting where space efficiency and secure mechanical attachment are priorities.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Electrocube RG1676 series of single-phase RC networks. These components are engineered for durability in demanding industrial settings. The series includes various configurations tailored for different power levels and suppression requirements, serving as critical elements in maintaining signal integrity and protecting sensitive electronics from transient noise.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with RG1676-16 for heavy-duty variants, though specifications differ. Verify that substitute parts match the 220 Ohm resistance and 0.5 microfarad capacitance values exactly. Ensure the replacement supports 480 VAC and maintains the 4-lead block mounting interface for direct interchangeability.
