Product details

What this choke does in the panel

It limits harmonic distortion and smooths current peaks, which reduces stress on the drive's rectifier and extends its service life. Rated for 500 V AC at 50 Hz, it carries a maximum continuous current of 12.5 A and a rated current of 11.25 A. This is an open-frame (IP00) component — no enclosure, so it needs to live inside a panel or cabinet that provides the ingress protection. The screw-type and tab terminals accept standard ring or fork lugs; plan for a 0.148 m wide by 0.139 m tall footprint, with a depth of 0.078 m. Thermal class B insulation (130 °C rise) means it's rated for a 40 °C ambient; if your panel runs hotter, derate the current or add forced ventilation.

Mount the choke close to the drive's line input — long cable runs between the choke and drive can reintroduce the harmonics the choke is supposed to filter. The screw/tab terminals accept conductors sized for 12.5 A; use ring terminals on the tab connections for a vibration-resistant joint. Because it's IP00, keep at least 25 mm of clearance around the choke for airflow and creepage. The 49.6 W coil loss plus 17 W iron-core loss total about 67 W of heat to vent out of the enclosure.
