A company offers inductive components for use in inverters for wind turbines. SMP says its chokes operate with low losses. Their compact design is maintenance-free for a long service life. The chokes are used in onshore and offshore installations. To ensure that the alternating current fed into the grid exhibits a sinusoidal waveform it is…
Powder composites make low-loss chokes and filters
A line of inductive components feature low-loss, good EMC characteristics, and a space-saving design. Their cores consist of powder composites, which developer SMP (Sintermetalle Prometheus GmbH & Co.) engineers for each application. And depending on application, components are constructed either as single-conductor chokes for high-current applications, individual chokes, choke modules, or LC filters. The devices…
Energy-efficient chokes for inverters in wind turbines
A recent electrical choke design for power inverters in wind turbines is an inductive component that features low losses, low stray fields, a compact design, and energy efficiency. Developer Sintermetalle Prometheus (SMP), based in Germany, uses materials made of powder composites engineered for each application. “Direct current from the modules must be converted into a…
