Product Overview

The ABB 3BHB011317R0001, also designated as the FN258-16/29, is a high-performance electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) filter engineered for three-phase industrial power systems. This specialized component is designed to mitigate conducted electromagnetic interference (EMI) generated by power electronics, such as variable speed drives and frequency converters. By attenuating high-frequency noise within the 150 kHz to 30 MHz spectrum, the FN258-16/29 ensures that sensitive control logic and automated instrumentation receive clean, stable power. Its robust Swedish engineering allows it to serve as a critical barrier, preventing electrical noise from polluting the mains supply and ensuring compliance with international EMC standards.
