The primary purpose of a line choke is to smooth out voltage spikes and current surges that can occur in the power system. It helps to stabilize the voltage and current levels, providing a more consistent and reliable power supply to the connected equipment. Additionally, a line choke can help mitigate the effects of harmonics generated by non-linear loads, such as variable frequency drives (VFDs) and rectifiers
The main function of an inverter transformer is to step up or step down the voltage
level of the DC power input to the desired AC output voltage level. The transformation of voltage is necessary because most power inverters are designed to operate at different voltage levels depending on the application, such as residential, commercial, or industrial.
Some of the benefits of using a 3-phase line choke include:
Voltage stabilization: Line chokes help reduce voltage fluctuations, ensuring a more stable power supply to connected equipment.
Current limitation: By limiting current surges, line chokes protect the equipment from potential damage caused by overcurrent conditions.
Harmonic reduction: Line chokes can mitigate harmonics generated by non-linear
loads, improving power quality and reducing interference with other equipment in
the system.
Improved efficiency: By reducing voltage drops and harmonics, line chokes can
improve the overall efficiency of the power system.
Protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI): Line chokes can provide some level of EMI filtering, reducing the impact of electrical noise on sensitive equipment.
