MTE DC link chokes

MTE DC Link Chokes

 

MTE’s DC LINK CHOKES offer the advantage of maximizing the circuit inductance for power quality reasons, but without causing an AC input line voltage drop.

MTE’s DC LINK CHOKES, also referred to as DC line chokes or inductor chokes, are an economical means of filtering and controlling the DC bus voltage and current in a variable speed drive/inverter. They help reduce AC input line current harmonic distortion while absorbing DC bus voltage spikes. Link Chokes add protection and filtering but should not be considered a direct alternative to AC input or output reactors.

Features:

          Solid Copper Box lug type terminals on most sizes

          Specially constructed and epoxy impregnated for low noise

          Customized ratings also available—contact factory for custom mounting, inductance, current or ripple requirements

Benefits:

          Reduce AC input line harmonics

          Help meet IEEE-519 limits

          Absorb voltage/current spikes

          Reduce AC ripple on DC bus

          Reduce dv/dt and di/dt rates

          Solve nuisance over-voltage tripping

          Reduce DC Bus transient over-voltage
