MIL-STD-188-125-1A Hemp Filter Range

This range of filters is the latest in high-altitude electromagnetic protection (HEMP) for power lines. MPE have designed these filter circuits from the ground up in order to be compliant with the stringent E1 and E2 pulse current injection and shielding effectiveness requirements of the latest MIL-STD-188-125-1A protection standard. These high performance filters also protect equipment from the effects of intentional electromagnetic interference (IEMI).

All lines are individually filtered and feature inductive input to offer both good continuous wave electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) performance and superior transient handling performance even on supplies with low source impedance. All lines are fitted with high-energy transient suppressors.

Insertion Loss Performance

Asymmetric attenuation shown as measured in 50Ω system with or without load, in accordance with MIL-STD-220C, CISPR-17 and BS EN 55017.
