Purpose. Simple, Effective RFI Kit consisting of 3 Solar Noise Filters (Mix 75) with 1/2" ID, for use on 3 Input/output ports such as Solar Panel Array input, Battery and Excess Load ports. Noise filters suppress noise and RFI at typical frequencies generated in solar charge controllers.
This kit is designed to choke common mode currents going into or exiting from your charge controller and they help keep common mode current out of the power line (or into your radio through the battery) which could cause interference to other devices connected to the same power line if not suppressed.
THE RFI KIT FILTERS ONLY SUPPRESS COMMON MODE CURRENT (SIGNALS) THAT ARE COMMON TO ALL WIRES IN THE CABLE, AND DOES NOT EFFECT INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENTIAL SIGNALS ON EACH WIRE. THE FILTERS HAVE NO EFFECT ON THE NORMAL SIGNALS CARRIED WITHIN THE CABLE.
If you use an inverter and experience RFI noise use additional mix 75 ferrite filters on the input and output of the inverter to help suppress this noise.Install both positive and negative wires through the same filter.
4:1 impedance transformers (Baluns and Unun configurations) are available in kit form or assembled form in a weatherproof Current Unun and Balun Enclosure which we call CUBE Baluns™ and CUBE Ununs™. All 4:1 impedance transformers use ferrite cores and the kit forms can be configured as a balun with balanced output of 200 ohms or as ununs with one side grounded.
4:1 baluns are designed for 50 ohm unbalanced (coax) input to 200 ohm output (either balanced or with one side grounded).
4:1 Baluns are useful between balanced lines for center fed Zepps, Off-center fed (OCF) dipoles with coax, G5RV antennas, full wave loops, NVIS dipoles that are close to ground and have impedance levels near 200 ohms or high impedance feeds for log periodic beams.
4:1 ununs are useful between coax and vertical antennas, monopole verticals or long wires with load impedances near 200 ohms.
