1-phase compensating choke INK 0.15-230V INK 1-0,15-230

Compensating chokes – effective power factor correction

Single-phase compensating choke INK 1-0.15-230V is an element used to improve the power factor in electrical installations. Its task is to compensate for capacitive reactive power, which arises from the operation of modern electronic devices, such as switch-mode power supplies, LED lighting or photovoltaic inverters. Using the choke allows you to reduce energy losses, lower electricity costs and improve network stability.

Construction and application

The INK 1-0.15-230V choke is characterized by a solid construction based on a core with a copper winding. It is designed to operate in single-phase networks with a voltage of 230V and a frequency of 50Hz. These types of chokes are used both in home and industrial installations, where there is an excessive amount of capacitive reactive power. Mounting is done using angle brackets or on a busbar. It is important to ensure electrical insulation from the mounting structure.

Advantages and benefits

• Reactive power compensation: Effectively reduces capacitive reactive power generated by modern electronic devices.
• Lower energy costs: Reducing reactive power consumption translates to lower electricity bills.
• Improved energy efficiency: Optimizing the power factor increases the efficiency of energy use in the installation.
• Increased network stability: Reactive power compensation improves voltage stability and prevents problems with powering devices sensitive to voltage fluctuations.
• Durable construction: Made of high-quality materials ensures long-lasting and reliable operation of the device.
• Thermal protection: Equipped with a bimetallic thermal overload protector.
• Compliance with standards: Meets the requirements of the European standard PN-EN 61558-2-20, which guarantees the safety and quality of the product.

Technical parameters and characteristics

The INK 1-0.15-230V choke has the following parameters: Reactive power is 0.15 kVAr, rated voltage is 230 V, and frequency is 50 Hz. The choke inductance is 1123 mH, the rated current is 0.65 A, the insulation class is F (155°C), and the degree of protection is IP00 (standard) / IP23 (optional). The ambient operating temperature is in the range of -25°C to +40°C.

It is worth remembering that the level of losses and the durability of the choke may depend on the harmonic content in the supply voltage – standard chokes are designed for a THDu factor below 8%. In the case of higher harmonic values, it is necessary to consider using special chokes designed to operate in such conditions.

Compensating choke INK 1-0.15-230V is an investment in energy efficiency and the reliability of the electrical installation. Its use allows you to optimize energy consumption and reduce operating costs.
