DC-Choke/Smoothing Choke

Smoothing chokes ensure the reliable operation of start-up converters in power electronic systems that switch short-term, very high loads of over 12 MW. Thanks to their inductance, they generate a smooth, harmonic rise and fall in currents. This reliably prevents circuit-related current gaps and failures in high-security systems that would be caused by sudden changes in current.

MANGOLDT smoothing chokes are used worldwide in power stations and large production plants where 100% continuous operational reliability is required. Each of the components, which can weigh up to 5 tons, is designed for the specific application and its inductance curve is precisely measured before delivery. This provides users with long-term protection against costly failures and repairs.
