The Siemens 4EU3022-8AA00-0AA0 is a 3-phase commutating choke (drossel) for converter applications, rated for 224 A maximum and 201.6 A continuous at 690 V AC, 50/60 Hz. The 0.22 mH inductance with a 4% relative inductive voltage drop limits current rise and harmonics on the converter's DC link or input side. Thermal class H (180 °C) insulation and a 40 °C ambient rating mean it handles sustained converter duty without derating in a typical enclosed cabinet — provided the enclosure moves enough air to clear 220 W coil losses plus 160 W iron losses.
Sizing and thermal reality
The 201.6 A rated current (I LN) is the continuous figure for a 690 V, 3-phase converter line. The 224 A maximum (ITHMAX 1) is the thermal limit at 50 Hz — use the 201.6 A figure for BOM sizing unless the duty cycle is demonstrably intermittent. The 220 W coil loss plus 160 W iron core loss sum to 380 W dissipated inside the choke; at IP00 with no enclosure, that's fine, but panel builders need to account for that heat rise in the cabinet thermal budget.
Mounting and connection
The 0.3 m width, 0.269 m height, and 0.211 m depth define the footprint for panel layout. IP00 means no ingress protection — the choke must be mounted inside a cabinet that provides the environmental seal. Connections are via flat-type terminals (flat connector) for the main current circuit, sized for the 224 A path. No DIN-rail clip; expect bolt-through or bracket mounting to a backplate.
