81001-717-01-R | Allen Bradley | RFI/EMI Shielding Fiberglass Filter

Product Overview

The Allen Bradley 81001-717-01-R functions as a specialized industrial filtration component designed for high-density electrical enclosures. This 432x795mm fiberglass module performs a dual-role: it captures airborne particulates while providing essential attenuation for Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) and Electromagnetic Interference (EMI). We supply this unit as 100% Brand New and Factory Original, ensuring your control system maintains environmental integrity and electromagnetic compliance in high-noise manufacturing zones.

Technical Specifications

The 81001-717-01-R utilizes reinforced fiberglass media to balance airflow efficiency with shielding capabilities:

Engineering Advantages

• Dual-Phase Interference Mitigation: This filter incorporates specialized fiberglass density to disrupt RFI and EMI pathways. It prevents high-frequency noise from entering or exiting the cabinet, protecting sensitive PLC logic and analog signals from erratic behavior caused by nearby high-power drives.

• High-Capacity Particulate Capture: The deep-bed fiberglass construction traps fine dust and industrial contaminants. This prevents the buildup of conductive debris on internal circuit boards, which otherwise leads to short circuits and thermal hotspots.

• Optimized Pressure Drop: The 432x795mm surface area maintains a low static pressure drop. This engineering choice allows cooling fans to move maximum air volume, ensuring internal power components stay within their rated operating temperature ranges during continuous duty cycles.

• Chemical and Thermal Resilience: The fiberglass media resists degradation from common industrial vapors and high cabinet temperatures. This durability ensures the filter maintains its structural shape and shielding effectiveness throughout its entire service interval.

• Precision Enclosure Fit: The exact 432x795mm dimensions ensure a tight seal within standard Allen Bradley panel intake frames. This precise fit eliminates "air bypass," forcing all incoming air through the filtration and shielding media.

FAQs

• Is this 81001-717-01-R filter 100% Brand New?

  Yes. We guarantee this product arrives in 100% Brand New condition in its original factory packaging. Each filter retains its full structural rigidity and shielding properties, as used or cleaned filters often suffer from compromised fiberglass density.

• Does this filter require a specific mounting orientation?

  Yes. Always install the 81001-717-01-R with the airflow direction indicated on the frame. Installing the filter backwards can increase airflow resistance and reduce the effectiveness of the EMI shielding layer.

• How often should I replace this RFI/EMI filter?

  Replacement frequency depends on your facility's air quality. However, maintenance teams typically replace these filters during scheduled 6-month or 12-month PM (Preventative Maintenance) cycles to ensure optimal cooling and noise suppression.

• Can this filter be washed and reused?

  We do not recommend washing fiberglass RFI/EMI filters. Water or compressed air can damage the specialized fibers and the conductive coatings required for noise suppression, which may result in a loss of EMI shielding effectiveness.
