The Siemens 4EU4321-0CD10-0A is a three-phase commutating choke (line reactor) designed for converter applications — it sits between the converter and the supply to limit current rise rates and reduce harmonic distortion. Rated for 500 V AC at 50 Hz, it handles a maximum continuous current of 1600 A and a rated current of 1440 A, with an inductance of 0.018 mH.
The 1600 A maximum and 1440 A rated current define the thermal limit under continuous duty at 40 °C ambient. If your converter's input current exceeds 1440 A RMS, this choke will saturate or overheat — the 1600 A figure is a short-time overload ceiling, not a continuous rating. The 0.018 mH inductance (18 µH) is low; it's sized for high-current, low-impedance paths where the main job is limiting di/dt during commutation, not heavy harmonic filtering. The 870 W coil loss and 270 W iron-core loss (total 1140 W) must be ventilated — IP00 means no enclosure; mount it in a clean, dry cabinet with forced airflow or natural convection clearance.
