Automotive Battery Charger RFI Kit - - 1-300 MHz RFI Suppression

Product Details

This kit suppresses EMI and RFI generated from DC battery charger such as used on automotive batteries uo to 100 amps output.

Simple snap on the ferrite suppressors (1" hole size) onto the AC input using multiple turns through the center and do the same for the DC output cables. The more turns through the center the hiogher the RFI suppression.

Simple - Effective and Low Cost solution.to suppress charger noise fed back into AC power lines acting as RFI transmitting antennas!

When considering solutions for AM broadcast (550 Khz – 1.8 Mhz) you should consider Mix 77 ferrites available in a variety of shapes and sizes. Choose a size to give the maximum number of turns of the affected wire or cable.

AM broadcast transmits on a low frequency with large antennas. Consequently it takes a large antenna to receive the signals. Typical “antennas” are AC house wiring, phone lines, long satellite or cable TV cables, DSL/CAT5 lines running between rooms, etc. The device wires that connect to these “antennas” need to be choked with as many turns through the ferrite as possible. Some installation examples are shown below on this page.

For AC/ DC power cords and coax cables the F240-77 (2.4″ OD, 1.4″ ID) “Donut” toroid is the most popular. Also available are smaller toroid donuts and Mix 77 beads. Shown below is a graph with 8, 10, and 12 turns through the toroid – obviously more turns has higher choking impedance. Mix 77 toroid products are HERE and Mix 77 small beads (for small wires) are HERE
