J. Schneider AnlassdrosselLimiting Starting Choke Current

SHARE

Starting chokes are inductive alternating current resistors that limit starting current of AC motors and 3-phase motors. They are actuated at start-up in the stator feed lines of the motor, they limit the start-up current to approximately 3x the value of the rated motor current and are bridged by a contactor after the motor starts up. They are configured for temporary duty and are provided with taps if necessary for multi-stage starting.

In this process special inductors are connected in the motor feed line. The starting chokes prevent brief voltage dips or reduce system perturbations, particularly in weak systems.
