Train chokes

• Nominal Voltage: 400 V
• Rated current: 200 - 1200 A
• Inductance: 0,012 - 0,074 mH

Watercooled chokes are available are available with ingress protection ratings IP00 to IP65. REO can utilise several methods of water cooling these components. This provides controlled conduction of heat losses, ensuring that the local environment is not heated. Water cooling ensures that component temperatures are greatly reduced, reducing component stress and increasing product life. REO technology provides excellent heat distribution, preventing the emergence of so-called hot spots.

• Train technology
  
  
  

As a passive inductive component in power supplies and in power electronics, the buck-converter choke is used for attenuating undesirable frequencies or for saving and storing energy.

The term buck-converter choke indicates the complete ready-for-use unit containing the choke, air cooling, mounting and connections. The chokes are available with different cores, which enables individual selection depending on the requirement of the application. In addition to iron-based cores, chokes with cores of amorphous alloy are becoming more common, in the form of toroidal cores, cut strip-wound cores or special custom solutions.

The use of amorphous materials offers an exceptional combination of high satur­ation flux density (1.56 T) and a high permeability. In addition to the high temperature class, further features of amorphous alloy include low hysteresis and eddy-current losses, suitability for the medium-frequency range (<20 kHz) and use for high powers up to 500 kVA.

• Type of choke: Up/Buck converter choke with iron core


• Voltage of the system: 500 – 1100 V


• Max. permissible tolerances: ( -10 % / +10 % )


• Linearity: min. 0.2 mH @ 230 Aeff


• Harmonic currents constantly / Superimposed Harmonics: 60 Ass @ 19 kHz


• Insulation class: H


• Cooling: AF


• Protaction rating: IP65/66


• Rated voltage for insulation: 1200 Vdc


• Test voltage: 3.5 kV (50 Hz, 60 s)
