Frequently Asked Questions

What voltage systems is the V1K filter compatible with?

The V1K filter is compatible with 208 - 600 VAC systems and can handle current ranges from 2 to 750 Amps.

What warranty does TCI provide for the V1K filter?

TCI provides one year of useful service, not to exceed 18 months from the date of shipment.

How does the V1K filter protect motor insulation?

The V1K filter limits voltage spikes to below 1,000 V, preventing motor insulation breakdown by reducing peak voltages that can reach up to 1,600 V on a 480 V system or 2,100 V on a 600 V system.

What are the environmental operating conditions?

The V1K filter is designed to operate in ambient temperatures up to 40°C (104°F) and at altitudes up to 2,000 m (6,600 ft), with derating necessary above 2,000 m.

What is the maximum lead length for the V1K filter?

The V1K filter is guaranteed to perform with lead lengths up to 1,000 feet. For applications exceeding 1,000 feet, consultation with the factory is recommended.

What applications is the V1K filter typically used for?

The V1K filter is commonly used in submersible pumps, wastewater pumping stations, HVAC cooling systems, process automation facilities, and agriculture irrigation systems.

What carrier frequencies does the V1K filter support?

The V1K filter supports carrier frequencies of 2 - 4 kHz. For applications over 8 kHz with cable lengths exceeding 400 feet, consultation with TCI is advised.

How does the V1K filter improve motor performance?

The V1K filter reduces motor heating, noise, and vibration while improving system productivity by increasing motor bearing life.
