Overview
The Islatrol IC+102 120VAC is a single-phase active tracking filter engineered to eliminate RFI, EFI, and EMI noise from AC power lines in industrial electrical panels and control systems. Manufactured by Control Concepts and rated for 120VAC, 50/60Hz operation, this panel-mount filter delivers 2.5A continuous current capacity with high-transient suppression and proven durability in harsh manufacturing environments.
Key Features
- Active Tracking Sine Wave Circuit: Continuously monitors and compensates for power line transients and high-frequency noise injection.
- Multi-Stage Protection: Combines series-connected blocking inductors, MOV transient protection line-to-line and line-to-ground, and pulse capacitor technology for comprehensive noise absorption (100 kHz–50 MHz range).
- High Surge Rating: 45,000 A surge capacity protects connected load equipment from voltage spikes.
- UL 1283 & CSA Certified: Meets North American electrical safety standards for industrial noise filters.
- Compact Panel Mount: Screw-terminal, #6 configuration; dimensions 4.0″ × 2.88″ × 1.81″ (H×W×D) fit standard DIN rail and cabinet layouts.
- Single-Phase 120V Only: Purpose-built for 120VAC equipment; do not use on 240VAC or three-phase circuits.
