Danfoss Power Solutions has launched a new heavy-duty LCL electric filter specifically designed for off-highway applications. The Editron EC-LCL1200B electric filter is a compact yet robust mobile-grade solution for fully electric, high-power machinery that pulls power from the AC grid rather than batteries. Applications include drilling equipment, material handling equipment, grid-connected excavators, and other tethered electric machinery.
The LCL1200B filter is designed to be used with the EC-C1200-450-L electric converter. Together the two components create a grid connection, ensuring compliance with standards. The EC-C1200 converts AC power from the grid to provide DC power for the machine, while the LCL1200B filter reduces electromagnetic interference, improving power quality and maintaining system reliability. The combination of components is bidirectional, so it can both take power from the grid and feed power back to the grid.
The LCL1200B electric filter is designed for machinery operating in demanding off-highway environments. Its robust design withstands high levels of mechanical vibration and shock, and its ingress protection ratings of IP6K9K and IP67 provide protection from moisture and dust. Danfoss points out that electric filters designed for stationary applications require additional measures to provide the same level of protection in harsh conditions.
Rated for up to 560 volts AC and 50/60 Hz, the LCL1200B filter is compatible with European and US three-phase power supplies. All components are rated for 300 ARMS and 250 kVA. The filter is designed for operating altitudes of up to 4,000 meters.
“Our new Editron LCL1200B filter meets market demand for compact, sophisticated, mobile-grade electric filters to streamline the design of grid-powered mobile machinery. With the filter/converter solution now available, we’ve simplified system integration for OEMs by ensuring component compatibility. Together with our Editron electric motors and inverters, plus Danfoss hydraulic components, we can offer complete system solutions,” said Chao Wang, Head of Portfolio Management, Editron division, Danfoss Power Solutions.
