Product details

The Siemens 4EU4521-0BH10 is a 3-phase commutating choke (line reactor) for converter drives, rated for 1800 A continuous at 500 V AC, 50 Hz. It limits current rise and harmonics on the line side of a thyristor or IGBT converter, protecting both the drive and the upstream transformer.

The DC rating of 2205.8 A tells you the choke can handle higher current under DC-link ripple conditions, but the AC-3 motor-duty current governs the real-world sizing for a 3-phase converter output. Total power loss sums to 1100 W (700 W coil + 400 W iron core), which must be dissipated into the enclosure air; this is not a sealed-panel part.

IP00 open-frame construction means the choke has no enclosure — it mounts inside a cabinet or converter cubicle, with live busbars and terminals exposed. The flat-type main-circuit connectors accept busbar or cable lugs; plan for a dedicated mounting plate or chassis rail. Dimensions are 0.46 m wide by 0.435 m tall by 0.293 m deep — verify the cabinet depth and clearance for the 1100 W heat dissipation before committing the panel layout.

Frequently asked questions
