SMP introduces chokes for wind turbine inverters
SMP Sintermetalle Prometheus
Chokes
SMP has developed choke designs for inverters used in wind turbines, to meet the demand for more energy-efficient components for wind turbine installations.
The chokes feature maintenance-free design and long service life.
Their high energy efficiency is achieved through their compact design and the use of low-loss materials.
SMP chokes have now also been tested and approved for use in offshore installations.
For use in power electronics, power generation, and instrumentation and control, SMP supplies chokes and filters for frequencies up to 200kHz and current ratings up to 1,000A.
These inductive components offer a high energy storage capacity at low volume, reduced losses, good EMC characteristics and a cost-conscious design.
Depending on their application, they are constructed either as single-conductor chokes for high-current applications, individual chokes, choke modules or LC filters.
All SMP components are manufactured to customer specifications using in-house-developed powder composites.
