Chokes and Reactors
Code:  CR
INTRODUCTION
  New developments and applications in electrical and electronic technology during recent years have resulted in a substantial increase in the type and number of chokes and reactors being used.  Olsun Electrics Corporation has wide experience in the design and manufacture of single phase and three phase, air core or iron core reactors to meet the requirements of specific applications.  Reactors can be designed to meet size and temperature rise limitations and/or termination requirements.

 CHOKE AND REACTOR DEFINITIONS
Current Limiting Reactors
Intended for series connection in the supply lines of a system for limiting the current under system fault conditions.  During normal operation of the system, the nominal line current flows through the reactor.
Line Reactors
Intended for series connection if the supply lines of variable speed drive systems to operate as a filter for electrical disturbances, to protect the system from current surges, and to match the total load impedance to the variable speed drive.
D.C. Link Reactors
Reactors connected in the D.C. link between two convertors of differing phase to limit circulating currents due to instantaneous voltage differences between the two convertor outputs, and to divide the currents equally between the two convertors.
D.C. Smoothing Chokes
Intended for series connection in the D.C. output lines of a rectifier system to attenuate the ripple in the direct voltage waveform.
