RT common-mode chokes are mainly used to filter
EMI noise on AC power lines up to 600 VAC. EMI noise
of electronic equipment can go to the power lines
and disturb the proper function of other devices like
communication devices or control logic of robotics.
Thus noise generated by the equipment from
switched power electronics or by high slew rates of
controllers needs to be filtered. RT common-mode
chokes are used to suppress EMI noise in PCB
integrated filter designs with line bypass capacitors or
in combination with single phase filters for extra low
leakage filter designs.
