3 Phase Line Chokes
The essential "Firewall" for your AC Drives (VFDs). Reduces harmonic distortion, absorbs power spikes, and extends the lifespan of your electronic motor controllers.
Why You Need It
Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) and Inverters are notorious for creating "electrical noise" (Harmonics) that pollutes the grid. Conversely, grid voltage spikes can destroy the sensitive rectifiers inside a VFD.
A **Line Choke** acts as a two-way buffer.
1. It stops grid surges from damaging the Drive.
2. It stops the Drive from sending dirty harmonics back into the grid.
Working Principle
It works by introducing Inductive Reactance into the line:
Key Benefits
Extends Drive Life
Protects the DC bus capacitors and rectifiers inside your VFDs from failure.
Stops Nuisance Tripping
Prevents drives from tripping on "Over Voltage" errors caused by utility capacitor switching.
Reduces Harmonics
Keeps THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) within IEEE 519 limits.
Cool Operation
Vacuum impregnated coils ensure low audible noise and efficient heat dissipation.
