2.4.1.2 Mains chokes Mains choke is required in the supply cable to reduce the harmonics and
(3-phase chokes) limit commutation failures. The mains chokes for the relevant 8230 frequency inverter
types are listed in the table below.
Mains chokes are not included in the 8230 frequency inverter.
The mains choke must be allocated individually to each 8230 frequency inverter to
guarantee decoupling when several units are operated at the same mains supply
point. A mains choke of high rating is not suitable for several low power 8230
frequency inverter units.
Mains chokes improve the overvoltage protection. The impedance of the choke forms
a voltage divider with the impedance on the mains side. When the choke is not
saturated magnetically it limits the current rise when the voltage rises. This prevents
excessive overvoltages at the 8230 frequency inverter mains input.
