1-phase compensating choke INK 0.7-230V INK 1-0,7-230

Compensating choke – optimizing electrical installation operation

The INK 230V 1-phase compensating choke 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 costs associated with penalties from the energy supplier. This device finds application in both home installations and commercial and industrial facilities.

Construction and application

INK chokes are characterized by a solid construction based on a winding made of copper (Cu) and protected by vacuum impregnation in class H varnish, hardened in an oven. This construction ensures high durability and resistance to environmental conditions. These chokes are designed for continuous operation (100% duty cycle) at a rated frequency of 50Hz. Mounting is done using angle brackets, which facilitates integration with existing electrical infrastructure.

Key features and benefits

• Reactive power compensation: Improving the power factor allows for more efficient use of electrical energy and reducing losses in the network.
• Durable construction: The use of high-quality materials (copper, class H varnish) guarantees long life and reliability of the device.
• Thermal protection: Equipped with a bimetallic thermal trip switch, which protects the choke from thermal overload.
• Wide power range: Available in various models with power from 0.02 kVar to 10 kVar, allowing you to choose the right choke for specific installation needs.
• Compliance with standards: Manufactured in accordance with EN/IEC 61558-2-20 and EN/IEC 60076-6 standards ensures safety and compatibility with other devices.
• Natural cooling: No need for additional cooling systems thanks to natural cooling (AN).
• High dielectric strength: HV test at 3 kV for 1 minute confirms high insulation and safety of use.

Thanks to these features, INK chokes are a reliable solution for improving energy efficiency and ensuring stable power supply in various applications. It is worth paying attention to selecting the appropriate choke power to the characteristics of the load in the installation – too little power will not bring the expected results, and too much may lead to unnecessary energy losses.
