Product details

The Siemens 4EP3900-1US00 is a three-phase mains choke (line reactor) designed for installation ahead of a variable frequency drive — the German designation Netzdrossel f. FU tells you exactly that. Rated for 500 V AC at 50 Hz, it carries a maximum continuous current of 63 A and a rated operational current of 56.7 A. The 0.292 mH inductance with a 2% relative inductive voltage drop means it smooths line-side harmonics and limits inrush current without dropping excessive voltage under load. Thermal class B (130 °C rise) and 40 °C ambient rating keep it within standard panel conditions.

IP00 open-frame construction means this choke is intended for enclosure mounting — it is not touch-safe on its own. Dimensions are 0.219 m wide by 0.179 m tall by 0.123 m deep, so plan for a backpanel footprint roughly 220 by 180 mm with clearance for the flat-type terminals on the main circuit connection. The 68.7 W coil losses plus 14.4 W iron core losses total about 83 W of heat to dissipate inside the cabinet; factor that into your ventilation or forced-air cooling budget.

Frequently asked questions

Will the 4EP3900-1US00 drop into a panel specified around a 5SJ3140-7 without rewiring?

No. The 5SJ3140-7 is a 1-pole 40 A miniature circuit breaker with IP20 and a 70 mm depth — a completely different device class. The 4EP3900-1US00 is a 3-phase choke with flat-type terminals, 0.123 m depth, and open-frame IP00. They are not footprint-compatible and serve different roles in the circuit.
