1-phase compensating choke INK 3.0-230V INK 1-3,0-230

Compensating choke – optimization of electrical installation operation

INK compensating chokes are elements used to improve the power factor in electrical installations. Model INK 1-3.0-230V is designed to operate in single-phase networks with a voltage of 230V and a power of 3 kVar. Its task is to compensate for reactive power, which translates into reduced energy losses, network load and improved energy efficiency of the entire system. Installing the choke allows you to avoid penalties for reactive power consumption charged by energy suppliers.

Construction and application

The INK 1-3.0-230V choke uses a winding made of copper (Cu), which guarantees high conductivity and durability. The vacuum impregnation process in class H varnish provides excellent insulation and resistance to environmental conditions. The device is protected by a thermal bimetallic breaker, which protects against overloads and short circuits. The choke operates in continuous mode (100% duty cycle) and is naturally cooled (AN). It is designed for mounting with angle brackets.

Key features and benefits

• Reactive power compensation: Improving the power factor (cos φ) reduces energy losses and load on the power supply network.
• Durable construction: Copper winding and class H impregnation ensure long-lasting and reliable operation of the device.
• Safety: Bimetallic protection protects against the effects of overloads and short circuits, increasing the safety of the installation.
• Versatility: The choke is suitable for use in various industrial and commercial applications where there is a need for reactive power compensation.
• Simple installation: Mounting with angle brackets facilitates installation and integration with existing electrical infrastructure.
• Compliance with standards: Meets the requirements of EN/IEC 61558-2-20 and EN/IEC 60076-6 standards, which confirms its quality and safety.

The choke power is 3 kVar, the rated voltage is 230 V, and the frequency is 50 Hz. The inductance of the device is 13.04 mH, and its dimensions are 174 x 161 x 141 mm with a weight of 16 kg.
