The IMO RFC3-6 is a compact and dependable three-phase RFI filter designed to support EMC compliance in industrial motor control and variable speed drive applications. Manufactured by IMO Precision Controls, it helps reduce conducted radio frequency interference generated by inverter drives and switching power equipment.
Installed between the incoming mains supply and the inverter, the RFC3-6 helps suppress high frequency electrical noise before it can travel through the electrical supply network. This supports reliable operation of PLCs, sensors, HMIs, communication equipment and other sensitive automation devices installed within industrial control systems.
With a 6 A current rating, three-phase 400 V AC operation and suitability for EN 61800-3 Category C3 industrial EMC applications, the IMO RFC3-6 is well suited to compact three-phase inverter systems, small machinery, control panels and OEM automation equipment.

Reliable RFI Filtering for Three-Phase Drive Systems
Variable speed drives generate high frequency switching noise during normal operation. The IMO RFC3-6 reduces conducted emissions on the supply side of the inverter, helping maintain stable operation of nearby automation equipment and supporting EMC compliance in industrial environments.
This filter is particularly suitable for control panels where three-phase drives, PLCs, HMIs and communication equipment are installed close together. By reducing unwanted electrical emissions, it helps minimise disruption and supports dependable machine performance.
Typical Applications
Three-phase variable speed drive installations.
IMO iDrive2 inverter systems.
Industrial control panels.
OEM machinery and automation equipment.
Pump and fan control systems.
Conveyor and small motor control applications.
Electrical cabinets requiring EMC filtering.
