capacitor RFI/EMI filter

Hello,

I tried to translate "capacitor RFI/EMI filter" into German but I know
only "capacitor" means Kondensator. But when I ask for it I need the
exact expression. are there also models to simply plug in a outlet?

Re: capacitor RFI/EMI filter

Hallo Randolf,

you translated correctly.
Kondensator 5 nF, or 5 nano Farad.
I went to an *Elektroladen* or electronics parts shop,but they only had 4.7
oder 5.2.
I bought one and placed it in a *Stecker* or plug.
My *Sicherungen* or fuses kept on sleeping.

At Ehlers Verlag in the Shop,
https://ssl.kundenserver.de/ehlers-verlag-gmbh.de/ehlers_shop/frameset.html
they sell an IT Stecker, Art number 204, for 69 Euro.
I think it is based on the same principle.

I paid 1 Euro for the capacitor and 5 Euro for the plug, which has an on-off
switch build in.,
so that makes 6 Euro alltogether.
That is 63 Euro difference, if I am correct.

Hi,

if you are going to experiment with this you have to chose a capsitor
that can tolerate at least 350V if your powerline voltage is 230V.

I don't believe that a capacitor based filter will necessarily solve power
related problems for electrically sensitive people. A capacitor will remove
some 'electrical noise' from power circuits, however this will then flow
through the earth (ground) wire. There are two problems with this. The first
problem is that earth wires run throughout a household so therefore an ES
person could still be affected by 'noise' transmitted from this wire. The
second problem is that the house may have a bad (high impedance) earth and in
this case, the capacitor may do almost nothing to remove noise from the wiring
- the 'noise' will travel along the path of lowest impedance, which is not
necessarily the earth (ground) wire.

I would always use an inductor based filter. Inductance is measured in Henry
(H).

Randolf.

Electronics use English to almost 100%.
So RFI / EMI Filter is completely understandable for any German working
in this field.
