1-phase compensating choke INK 1.0-230V INK 1-1,0-230

Compensating choke – optimizing electrical installation operation

INK compensating chokes are elements used to limit inrush currents when switching on inductive devices, such as motors, transformers or fluorescent lamps. Using a choke reduces voltage drops in the network and extends the life of connected receivers. The INK 1-1.0-230V model is designed to operate in single-phase installations with a voltage of 230V and a power of 1 kVar.

Construction and application

The INK 1-1.0-230V choke is characterized by a solid construction based on a winding made of copper (Cu) and protected by vacuum impregnation in class H varnish. Impregnation provides high resistance to environmental conditions and long-term reliability. This choke finds application wherever there are devices generating high inrush currents during start-up. Using it avoids unnecessary loading of the electrical network and potential failures.

Key features and benefits

• Limitation of inrush currents: Effectively dampens voltage surges during the start-up of inductive devices, protecting both the network and connected receivers.
• High quality workmanship: Copper winding and class H impregnation guarantee durability and reliability even in difficult working conditions.
• Thermal protection: Equipped with a bimetallic thermal trip switch, which protects the choke from overheating and damage.
• Continuous operation: The choke is adapted for continuous operation (duty cycle 100%), which ensures its reliable operation for a long time.
• Wide range of applications: Ideal for use in home installations, workshops, production plants and wherever inductive devices are present.
• Compliance with standards: Made in accordance with EN/IEC 61558-2-20 and EN/IEC 60076-6 standards, which confirms its safety and quality.

INK chokes are available in a wide range of powers – from 0.02 kVar to 10 kVar – allowing you to choose the appropriate model for specific installation needs. The choice of the appropriate choke should be dictated by the power of connected inductive receivers and the characteristics of the electrical network. The technical parameters for the INK 1-1.0-230V model include power 1 kVar, current 4.35 A, inductance 168 mH, rated voltage 230 V, rated frequency 50 Hz and dimensions 120x118x120 mm with a weight of 6.9 kg.
