It sits between the supply and the converter's rectifier to limit current rise rates, reduce harmonic distortion, and protect the DC link from line notching. Peak current capability is 100 A — useful for short-duration overloads during motor acceleration or converter inrush. DC-side rated current is 98 A, reflecting the choke's ability to handle the rectified output current.
Thermal and mounting reality
IP00 means no enclosure — this is a panel-mount component that needs to live inside a cabinet with proper ventilation. At 40 °C ambient, total power loss is 106.2 W (80 W coil + 26.2 W iron core), so plan for that heat rejection. Thermal class B (130 °C rise) per IEC 60085 gives the insulation system margin. Dimensions are 0.219 m wide × 0.179 m high × 0.143 m deep. Main circuit connections are flat-type terminals — expect busbar or crimp lug terminations, not screw-clamp wire ends.
