MTE DCA000403 - DC Link Chokes, also known as DC line chokes or inductor chokes, are essential components for filtering and controlling DC bus voltage and current in variable speed drives and inverters. They effectively reduce AC input line current harmonic distortion and absorb DC bus voltage spikes, enhancing power quality and system reliability. These chokes offer the advantage of maximizing circuit inductance without causing AC input line voltage drop and can be used individually or in pairs for additive inductance. While they increase internal filtering and absorb spikes, they do not protect the input bridge rectifier or inverter output circuit. Special features include solid copper box lug type terminals and epoxy impregnation for low noise. Ideal for various applications such as AC PWM inverters/drives and electrical vehicle inverters, MTE's DC Link Chokes help meet IEEE-519 limits, reduce ripple on the DC bus, and mitigate over-voltage tripping, providing a robust solution for power quality challenges in industrial environments.
