Product details

The Siemens 4EU4321-0BR18 is a commutating choke (line reactor) designed for converter applications. It handles 3-phase AC at 480 V, rated 1600 A continuous, with a DC-rated current of 1960.7 A — the higher DC figure reflects the lower harmonic content on the DC bus, so the choke can carry more current there without saturating. Rated inductance is 0.000013 H (13 µH) with a relative inductive voltage drop of 3 % at rated current and frequency. That 3 % drop is typical for a commutating choke sized to limit di/dt and reduce harmonic distortion on the line side of a 6-pulse converter. Total power loss splits into 670 W in the coil and 365 W in the iron core, for a combined 1035 W at the 40 °C ambient rating. Thermal class H (IEC 60085) means the insulation system withstands 180 °C hot-spot — important if you are packing this into a confined cabinet with other heat sources.

This choke is a panel-mount component, not a DIN-rail snap-on. Dimensions are 0.46 m wide by 0.435 m tall by 0.265 m deep — roughly 18 by 17 by 10.5 inches. Suitable for indoor, dry electrical rooms or ventilated cabinets. No washdown rating — keep it away from coolant mist or wash areas.

Frequently asked questions
