Reducing electrical noise using filters
Electrical noise is caused by high voltage transients created when inductive loads, such as power
contactors, are switched on or off. The strength of the transients can be over 1000 volts and can
vary with the type of equipment and wiring, as well as several other factors.
“Visible” symptoms of electrical noise include erratic control operation, cycling inlets,
communication problems, and more. However, the effects of electrical noise are not always visible.
Over time, electrical noise can cause electronic circuits, relay contacts, and power contactors to
deteriorate.
Phason highly recommends installing filters on
all
inductive loads.
Installing filters helps extend the life of equipment
Filters help prevent electrical noise problems by absorbing the transient energy. Even if you do not
have
visible symptoms
of electrical noise, filters help keep controls operating reliably and can
extend the life of the controls and equipment connected to them.
Phason’s snubber filters (
part number 127-0
) are intended for use with solenoids, timer relays, DC
motors, furnaces, and other equipment connected to the control’s relays. You can also use the filters
with loads connected to power contactors.
Install a filter in parallel with the load, as shown in the following example.
Some power contactors include snubber filters. For more information, read
