Chokes

Suppression of conducted interference

Chokes from REO

DC chokes and mains chokes relieves the supply network by compensating the harmonics reactive power. REO dv/dt reactors and filters attenuate due to their structure the voltage rise to acceptable values. Load reactors reduce symmetric and asymmetric flow distortions , which are generated at the connecting line between the inverter and the motor due to the fast switching of the power semiconductors. Sine wave filters guarantee sinusoidal output voltage for your frequency converter. The buck converter chokes as an inductive passive component in the power supply and in power electronics is used to attenuate unwanted frequencies or for saving energy and storage. Inductive loads are usually specially designed for an application and with reference to the applicable norms. These standards detail the tests required but also the test setups and procedures. The inductances are specially adapted to the area of application so an optimal solution may be provided.

REO has set itself the task of helping to ensure that trains are safer today and in the future. With special chokes for rail technology, we ensure that a safe operation is possible and EMC problems are eliminated at source. The use of a water cooling system allows optimal temperature characteristics to be utilised. In addition, the performance and lifetime of the component is improved. Air chokes are used when a particularly high linearity is required. By its relatively simple structure, they are not only compact but also very stable.

Mains chokes

A mains chokes relieves the supply network by compensating the harmonics reactive power, The harmonics are greatly reduced.

The conditional by the operating principle of rectification very high current peak is attenuated by the inductance by more than 60 %.

Harmonicfilter

REO harmonic filters are used for the reduction of the THD (Total Harmonic Distortion).
The harmonic currents will be so strongly suppressed that a THD of less than 5% is achieved (for example in uninterruptible power supply systems).
Furthermore, the reactive power is reduced by a harmonic filter (e.g. REOWAVEpassive) and up to 30% of energy is saved.

DC-Link chokes

A DC choke relieves the supply network by compensating the harmonics reactive power.
Similar to a line choke, the DC-link reactor acts as a passive component and helps to reduce harmonics and relieve the supply network. The DC reactor attenuates also the peak load current of the DC link capacitors.

DV/Dt – Chokes/Filter

Due to their design, REO du/dt chokes or filters dampen the voltage rise to acceptable values. With short cable lengths between the frequency inverter and motor, a du/dt choke limits the slew rate to less than 1000V/µs, which is sufficient for most motors and standards.

Motor chokes

Reduction of symmetric and asymmetric flow distortions, which are generated at the connecting line between the inverter and the motor due to the fast switching of the power semiconductors. These disturbances can affect the performance of the engine by loud noises, and in extreme cases, by overheating. Here, a conventional load reactor can help.

Sinusoidal filter

Sinusoidal output voltage for your frequency converter

  • Advantages of REO Sinus filter :
    Output voltage is sinusoidal
  • Also suitable for very long motor cables
  • Also suitable for very long motor cables
  • The efficiency of the overall system is increased
  • – Reduction of the motor noise and eddy-current losses

Buck converter chokes

The Buck converter chokes as an inductive passive component in the power supply and in power electronics is used to attenuate unwanted frequencies or for saving energy and storage.

DC-Chokes

Air reactors are used when a particularly high linearity is required. By its relatively simple structure, they are not only compact, but also very stable.

Test chokes

Inductive loads are usually specially designed for an application and with reference to the applicable norms. These standards detail the tests required but also the test setups and procedures. The inductances are specially adapted to the area of application so an optimal solution may be provided.
Inductive load units are used when power supply systems or other test specimens, such as switches, contacts or frequency converters have to be loaded with a standardized effective andreactive power.

Liquid-cooled chokes

With the help of liquid cooling losses are derived specifically about the cooling circuit and not in the environment.

By use of liquid cooling, the temperatures in the components can be reduced greatlyie less stress for the insulation materials and longer life.

Train chokes

REO has set itself the task of helping to ensure that trains are safer today and in the future. With special reactors for rail technology, we ensure that a safe operation is possible and EMI problems are eliminated at source. Thus, voltage changes, short circuits and other phenomena that occur in dealing with electricity, does not endanger crew members and passengers.

Air chokes

Air reactors are used when a particularly high linearity is required. By its relatively simple structure, they are not only compact, but also very stable.

Chopper throttles


Energy storage in the railway sector is challenging, as factors such as cost, scalability and efficiency losses play an important role. Chopper chokes are essential components that regulate the current flow, prevent voltage peaks and thus optimise the stability of energy storage systems. Their use enables a more efficient utilisation of energy, extends the service life of batteries and opens up new possibilities for the catenary-free operation of trains.
