1-phase compensating choke INK 0.35-230V INK 1-0,35-230

Compensation choke – network optimization and cost reduction

Single-phase INK 1-0.35-230 compensation choke is a component used to correct the power factor in electrical installations. Its main task is to compensate for capacitive reactive power, which translates into increased energy efficiency and lower energy bills. The device is particularly useful in the case of long cable lines with low load, where there is an excessive amount of reactive power.

Application and benefits

INK compensation chokes are used in both industrial installations and in public buildings and residential homes. Their installation allows for:

• Increased energy efficiency: By reducing reactive power, the choke reduces energy losses in the network.
• Lower energy costs: Reactive power compensation can lead to lower electricity bills.
• Improved network parameters: Stabilizes voltage and frequency in the electrical network.
• Device protection: Reduces the load on transformers and cables, extending their lifespan.
• Compliance with standards: Enables meeting the power factor requirements specified by energy suppliers.

Construction and parameters

The INK 1-0.35-230 choke is characterized by a solid construction based on a single-phase core with a winding made of copper wire. The core is impregnated with class H varnish, which ensures high resistance to environmental conditions and long-term operation. The device has a built-in bimetallic normally open switch, which protects against overload.

The choke has a power of 0.35 kVar, a rated voltage of 230 V and a frequency of 50 Hz. Its inductance is 481 mH, and the current is 1.52 A. The degree of protection is IP00, the insulation class is F, and the permissible ambient temperature is 40°C. The dimensions of the choke are 96 x 77 x 99 mm (length x width x height), and its weight is 2.7 kg. Mounting is done using angle brackets or on a rail (depending on the model). The device meets the requirements of PN-EN 60076-6.

Additional information for installers

INK chokes are manufactured by INDUCTO, a company specializing in solutions for reactive power compensation. These devices are characterized by high quality workmanship and reliability. During installation, safety regulations must be observed and appropriate tools used. It is also important to correctly select the choke to the parameters of the electrical installation to ensure optimal reactive power compensation efficiency.
