RP230-6.5-0-W

Overview

The Astrodyne TDI RP230-6.5-0-W is a high-performance, dual-stage power line filter designed for single-phase applications. It features a 6.5 A current rating and operates at voltages up to 250 VAC with frequencies of 50 Hz or 60 Hz. The unit utilizes wire termination and chassis mount installation. Key electrical parameters include a capacitance of 0 nF and a leakage current of 400 uA. It complies with UL, CSA, and EN standards.

Feature Summary

• Dual-stage filtering architecture for enhanced noise attenuation
• Chassis mount design with wire termination connections
• Compliance with major international safety certifications

Applications

• Single-phase electronic equipment requiring EMI suppression
• Medical devices adhering to strict leakage current limits
• Industrial control systems operating on standard AC mains

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'W' corresponds to the required wire termination style and packaging configuration. Confirm that the 0 nF capacitance value meets the system's leakage current requirements, as this indicates minimal capacitive coupling to ground. Ensure the chassis mounting dimensions align with the enclosure design before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model when low leakage current is critical, as the 0 nF capacitance minimizes ground currents compared to filters with higher X/Y capacitor values. The dual-stage design provides superior attenuation for sensitive applications. Verify that the 6.5 A rating exceeds the maximum load current of the protected circuit to ensure safe operation under all conditions.

Part Context

This component belongs to the RP230 series of high-performance power line filters from Astrodyne TDI. The series offers various configurations for single-phase applications, differentiated by current ratings and termination styles. The RP230 series is engineered for environments requiring robust electromagnetic interference reduction and compliance with global regulatory standards.

Replacement Considerations

The RP230-6.5-2.2-W is a similar dual-stage filter in the same series but features 2.2 nF capacitance, resulting in higher leakage current. Substitution requires verification that the increased leakage current remains within acceptable limits for the application.
