1-phase compensating starter INK 1.5-230V INK 1-1,5-230

Compensating chokes – optimizing the operation of electrical installations

INK compensating chokes are elements used to limit inrush currents when switching on inductive devices, such as motors or transformers. They improve voltage stability in the network and reduce interference, which translates into a longer service life of connected receivers. The INK 1-1.5-230V model is designed to operate in single-phase installations with a voltage of 230V and a power of 1.5 kVar.

Construction and application

The INK 1-1.5-230V choke is characterized by a solid construction based on a copper (Cu) winding and vacuum impregnation with class H varnish, ensuring high resistance to environmental conditions and long-term reliability. Impregnation with class H varnish guarantees hardening in the furnace, which further increases the durability of the choke. The use of a compensating choke in an electrical installation allows for the reduction of overvoltages that occur during the switching on of inductive devices, protecting them from damage. This is particularly important in the case of frequent switching on and off of motors or other loads with high current draw.

Key features and benefits

• Limitation of inrush currents: The choke effectively dampens voltage surges, protecting connected devices from damage caused by a sudden voltage increase.
• High quality workmanship: Copper winding and vacuum impregnation with class H varnish ensure durability and reliability even in difficult conditions.
• Thermal protection: Equipped with a bimetallic thermal trip switch, which protects the choke from overheating and damage.
• Continuous operation: The choke is designed for continuous operation (duty cycle 100%), which guarantees its reliability in demanding applications.
• Wide range of applications: Ideal for use in home installations, workshops, production plants and anywhere where inductive devices are present.
• Compliance with standards: Meets the requirements of EN/IEC 61558-2-20 and EN/IEC 60076-6 standards, which confirms its safety and quality.
• Natural cooling: The design allows for natural cooling (AN), which simplifies the installation and operation of the device.

Other models with different power and current parameters are also available – full specifications are available in the manufacturer's technical documentation. The selection of the appropriate choke should be adapted to the characteristics of the load and the parameters of the electrical installation.
