[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model:
[0023] In order to solve the problems in the background technology, such as Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a small-volume high-voltage filter, including a housing 1. The housing 1 is integrally milled from 6061 aerospace aluminum. 6061 aluminum alloy is a lightweight material, and the milled housing made from it significantly reduces the overall weight while maintaining strength. Aluminum alloy has excellent thermal conductivity, and the surface is electroplated with nickel, which not only improves corrosion resistance but also enhances the appearance. The housing 1 is milled from a single piece of aluminum, and the integrated design ensures structural strength while achieving lightweighting of the filter. The housing 1 is provided with an input interface 2 and an output interface. The input interface 2 includes a negative terminal 21 and a positive terminal 22. Both the negative terminal 21 and the positive terminal 22 are led out of the housing 1 through insulating washers 3. Both the negative terminal 21 and the positive terminal 22 use aerospace-grade soft leads. The use of aerospace-grade soft leads in the input interface 2, led out of the housing 1 through the inner hole of the insulating washers 3, provides high insulation strength and is more reliable under high voltage and high power conditions. The output interface includes a gold-plated copper platform 4 and a flexible output lead 5. The gold-plated copper platform 4 and the flexible output lead 5 are combined. The gold-plated copper platform 4 significantly reduces contact resistance, improves conductivity, and has a strong current-carrying capacity. The current-carrying cross-sectional area of the gold-plated copper platform 4 is 24 mm², and its rated current-carrying capacity is 120A. The flexible output lead 5 is an aerospace-grade ultra-flexible conductor with a multi-strand silver-plated copper wire core, possessing excellent flexibility and conductivity. The gold-plated copper platform 4 is manufactured using precision casting and machining technology to ensure a smooth, defect-free surface, thereby improving contact area and conductivity. The gold plating on the copper platform significantly reduces contact resistance and improves conductivity; the current-carrying cross-sectional area of the gold-plated copper platform 4 is approximately 24 mm². 2 Under normal circumstances, it can carry a current of 120A, while the rated current of the equipment is 50A, which shows that the current has sufficient margin and the heat loss is minimal.
[0024] The housing 1 contains a first-order low-pass filter circuit, which includes a common-mode inductor L, a differential-mode capacitor C1, a common-mode capacitor C2, a common-mode capacitor C3, and a bleeder resistor R. Input interface 2 and output interface 2 are connected to the first-order low-pass filter circuit. The bleeder resistor R is connected in parallel with the differential-mode capacitor C1, and then in series with the common-mode inductor L, common-mode capacitor C2, and common-mode capacitor C3. The common-mode inductor L has an inductance of 0.6mH and is made of enameled wire wound with a microcrystalline magnetic ring and thick yellow varnish insulation material. The differential-mode capacitor C1 has a capacitance of 0.47μF; the common-mode capacitors C2 and C3 both have a capacitance of 0.047μF. The differential-mode capacitors C1, C2, and C3 are film capacitors with a rated voltage of 800VDC. The bleeder resistor R has a resistance of 2MΩ.
[0025] The side where the output interface is located is covered with insulating material 6. The insulating material 6 uses polyetheretherketone (PEEK) as the whole surface insulation material of the shell to ensure reliability under space constraints.
[0026] The electrical schematic diagram of this utility model is shown below. Figure 5 The main components include a 0.6mH common-mode inductor L, a 0.47μF differential-mode capacitor C1, two 0.047μF common-mode capacitors (C2 and C3), and a 2MΩ bleeder resistor R, forming a first-order low-pass filter. High-dV / dt flat film capacitors and high-energy-density metallized film capacitors are used as differential-mode and common-mode capacitors, respectively, suitable for DC filtering and surge current resistance, with a rated voltage of 800VDC. They maintain stability under sudden high-energy surges, absorb and process high-frequency spikes, effectively suppress high-frequency noise and interference, and reduce damage to other components. The common-mode inductor L is made by tightly winding a microcrystalline magnetic ring with varnish and then winding it into enameled wire. The microcrystalline magnetic ring has extremely high initial permeability and low core loss. Varnish is a high-performance insulating material that plays a crucial insulating role in the filter, effectively preventing electrical short circuits between the magnetic ring and other components. By employing a single-stage π-shaped low-pass combined network and selecting appropriate components and parameters, the desired frequency response and attenuation characteristics can be achieved.
[0027] The filter's internal potting material is polyurethane. After potting, a vacuum is applied at 40°C to eliminate air bubbles, ensuring complete filling and improved insulation. It maintains good performance even at 85°C. Because polyurethane is an elastomer, it has low residual internal stress and good shock absorption, enhancing the product's resistance to vibration and impact.
[0028] In a first-order π-type low-pass filter circuit, L is a series common-mode inductor, C1 is a parallel differential-mode capacitor, C2 / C3 are common-mode capacitances to ground, and R is a bleeder resistor. The common-mode inductor L suppresses common-mode interference, and core losses are reduced through a microcrystalline magnetic ring and highly insulated enameled wire. The differential-mode capacitor C1 filters differential-mode noise, and a high dV / dt thin-film capacitor is selected to handle surge current. The common-mode capacitors C2 / C3 further attenuate common-mode interference and are connected in parallel at the input / output terminals. The bleeder resistor R releases residual charge, improving system safety. Input interface 2 (positive 22, negative 21) is connected via a flexible lead, and an insulating washer 3 ensures high-voltage isolation.
[0029] The main technical specifications of the filter of this utility model are as follows:
[0030] 1) Rated operating voltage: 540VDC;
[0031] 2) Rated operating current: 50A;
[0032] 3) Test voltage: Line-to-line test voltage 1500VDC, 5s; Line-to-ground test voltage: 1500VDC, 5s;

[0034] 5) Insertion loss: In a 50Ω system without load, the reference values for insertion loss are shown in the table below; Frequency (MHz) 0.01 0.1 0.5 15 10; Common mode (dB) / 82 12 83 530; Differential mode (dB) / 41 0 15 25 20;
[0035] 6) Operating temperature: -55℃~+85℃.
[0036] This utility model features a small-volume high-voltage filter with a volume of 40cm². 3 Weighing only 128g, this compact and lightweight design allows for operation at 540VDC and 27kW power, effectively suppressing EMI interference from the 540V transmitter and receiver power supply in the 10kHz–10MHz range. Its innovative design, featuring an integrated 6061 aluminum casing, PEEK insulation, gold-plated copper platform, and high-voltage film capacitors, solves the problems of large size and weight inherent in traditional high-voltage filters. Internally, it employs a vacuum encapsulation process, combined with an ultra-microcrystalline magnetic ring common-mode inductor and a π-shaped filter network, ensuring stable operation at 540VDC / 50A while significantly suppressing high-frequency interference. The product combines miniaturization, high reliability, and environmental adaptability, making it widely applicable in aerospace, military electronics, and other fields with stringent space and performance requirements.
