Reducing Noise (Filter Function – FILTER)
3.2 Reducing Noise
(Filter Function – FILTER)
The widespread use of switching power supplies and equipment
incorporating inverter technology can cause high-frequency
components to be superimposed on leak current waveforms. Use the
lter function to eliminate unwanted high-frequency components.
FILTER OFF FILTER ON
The frequency bandwidth with the lter function enabled is limited to
approximately 180 Hz (-3 dB), comparable to the frequency bandwidth
for an ordinary leakage breaker. It is recommended that the lter
function be used when analyzing leakage breaker operation.
