AEGIS Series line fi lters and surge protectors
Electronic equipment protection for reliable operations
Introduction
AEGIS delivers a higher level
of system protection
Eaton AEGIS™ Series line filters and surge
protectors are specifically designed to protect
sensitive electronics from hazards that exist
within a facility. The AEGIS Series hybrid filter
reacts instantly to changes in voltage regardless
of phase angle or polarity. In comparison to other
line filters, this technology provides a higher level
of suppression, reliability, and life expectancy.
Increasing importance of surge protection
and line filtering
PLC manufacturers and service technicians
recommend the use of power line filters and surge
suppressors to prevent downtime and equipment
damage due to surges and electrical line noise.
Studies have shown that failure to protect sensitive
electronic loads costs American manufacturing and
commercial and service industries over $39 billion
per year in lost time and revenue. Preventing these
losses is a major cost-saving opportunity.
Features, bene ts, and functions
AEGIS Series line filters and surge protectors
protect against the full spectrum of transient
disturbances and are engineered to filter the entire
sine wave. As a result, AEGIS devices are effective
against both low- and high-energy transients
to prevent immediate equipment damage and
microprocessor failure over time.

Feature package options
AEGIS PH and PV
The AEGIS Series PH and PV devices are the high-performance line
filters in the new line, offering the best EMI/RFI filtering and lowest
VPR ratings.
The AEGIS Series PH and PV devices can be used where:
•
The lowest let-through voltage (VPR) is desired
•
The best filtering of electromagnetic interference (EMI)
and radio frequency interference (RFI) is needed
•
The longest equipment life and lowest maintenance cost
is required
•
The value of the equipment protected or process controlled
is highest
•
120 or 240 Vac circuits up to 20 A are to be protected
AEGIS Series devices are available in common voltages and
configurations, and also in a variety of surge current capacity ratings
from 20 to 80 kA at 120 Vac.
