Why is a filter required in EU countries?

[old phart]

I am now putting my Kyosho Speed Vee 800 boat together and in the manual, there is a supplement that says if you live in a European country you "must" install a "noise filter" in the wiring to the electric motor.

It has a picture diagram and part number for the part that must be installed and apparently is required by law in EU countries.


Anyone know what that is about?

:eek:

Noise filter...in an electric boat. My geuss it is a capacitor that reduces the chances of glithcing. In electric that is the only "noise filter" i have ever heard about. The capasitor is sometimes considered a "noise filter" because it helps block radio "noise" that could make your boat runaway. :)
