Figure 5.2 - 3 Required minimum line choke impedance for
installation of converter in first environment
Often the maximum current is not limited by the transformer but by the
power cable to the industry region. Therefore it is necessary to ask the
energy supply company concerning the line impedance and the current
which is available at the desired point of common coupling (PCC).
