Overview

The TCI V1K21A01 is a Type 1 dV/dT output filter designed for 3-phase industrial applications. Manufactured by TCI (SKU: V1K21A01), this UL Listed filter operates within a broad voltage range of 208-600V and supports currents up to 21A. Its primary function is to mitigate the rate of voltage change (dV/dT) at the output of motor drives and power supplies. This reduction in dV/dT is crucial for protecting sensitive electronic components from voltage spikes and transients, thereby extending equipment lifespan and ensuring operational reliability. Originating from Germany (DE), the V1K21A01 is built for integration into demanding industrial environments. It falls under UNSPSC code 39121000. The V1K series filters are engineered to suppress high-frequency noise and voltage transients generated by PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) drives. By limiting the dV/dT, the filter reduces stress on motor insulation, preventing premature failure and ensuring consistent motor performance. This filter is suitable for applications where motor drives are located at a distance from the motor, or where the drive's switching frequency can cause excessive voltage rise at the motor terminals. The Type 1 enclosure rating indicates suitability for indoor use where protection against falling dirt is provided. The 3-pole configuration is standard for 3-phase power systems.
