1-phase compensating choke INK 0.3-230V INK 1-0,3-230

Compensating chokes – optimizing the operation of electrical installations

The single-phase compensating choke INK 230V is an element used to improve the power factor in electrical installations. Its task is to compensate for reactive power, which translates into reduced energy losses, network load and potential penalties from the energy supplier. INK chokes are characterized by a solid construction and high reliability, making them a suitable choice for both installers and end users.

Construction and application

INK compensating chokes are made of copper (Cu) winding and protected by vacuum impregnation in class H varnish, hardened in the furnace. This ensures high durability and resistance to environmental conditions. These devices are used in electrical installations powering inductive devices, such as motors, transformers or fluorescent lamps. By compensating for reactive power, INK chokes allow for more efficient use of electrical energy and lower operating costs.

Key features and benefits

• Reactive power compensation: Reduces energy losses and electrical network load.
• Made of copper: Guarantees high conductivity and winding durability.
• Class H impregnation: Provides resistance to high temperatures and humidity.
• Protection with a bimetallic circuit breaker: Protects the choke from overload.
• Continuous operation (100% duty cycle): Enables long-term operation without risk of damage.
• Natural cooling (AN): Eliminates the need for additional cooling systems.
• Wide power range: Available models with a power of 0.02 kVar to 10 kVar allow you to choose the right choke for specific needs.
• Compliance with standards: Meet the requirements of EN/IEC 61558-2-20 and EN/IEC 60076-6 standards, which guarantees safety of use.

Technical parameters (example)

Below are example parameters for the INK 1-0.3-230V model:

Power (kVar): 0.3 Current (A): 1.3 Inductance (mH): 561 Voltage (V): 230

It is important to remember that the parameters may vary depending on the specific INK choke model. Accurate technical data for individual models can be found in the manufacturer's documentation and in tables available online. The selection of the appropriate choke should be based on an analysis of the reactive power demand in a given electrical installation.
