Rated at 14.4 A with a 16 A maximum, it handles the continuous current of a 3-phase converter input at 500 V AC, 50 Hz. The 0.0023 H inductance and 4 % relative inductive voltage drop tell you the impedance it adds to the line: enough to protect the converter's input rectifier from excessive current spikes during switching transitions. This is an open-frame (IP00) component — no enclosure, so it mounts inside a panel or cabinet where the ambient temperature stays at or below 40 °C. The thermal class B insulation (130 °C hot-spot) means the choke can run at its rated load continuously without exceeding the winding temperature limit, as long as the ambient is respected. Total power loss breaks down to 39 W in the coil and 9.3 W in the iron core — that's 48.3 W of heat to vent from the panel, a figure the panel designer needs for thermal budgeting.
The 4EP3601-2DS00 measures 0.148 m wide by 0.126 m tall by 0.078 m deep — roughly 148 × 126 × 78 mm. No DIN-rail clip; it bolts to the mounting plate. The IP00 rating means it needs clearance from live parts and a cabinet door that keeps fingers out. Plan for the 48.3 W heat dissipation in the enclosure thermal calculation.
