Models
The new TFI 20 is a surge filter which comes in a compact DIP-24 plastic package. Placed
in front of any DC/DC converter the TFI clamps momentary over-voltage transients to a
safe value in order to protect the DC/DC converter from being damaged. During normal
operation the output voltage follows the input voltage (Vout = Vin – 2 VDC typ.) up to the
point of 168 VDC where the voltage is actively clamped. Whereas the transients defined
within the EN 50155 (up to 154 VDC) are covered by the wide input range of dedicated
railway converters the TFI handles the stricter definition laid-out in the RIA12 standard
which allows transients of up to 20ms at 385 VDC. This level of protection is specifically
required in railway applications where high voltage transients are expected but can also
be used for 72, 96 and 110 VDC battery systems in railway applications.
