INDUCTORS (CHOKES)
Inductors, commonly referred to as chokes, are a current limiting & smoothing device.
Chokes operate by storing energy in the form of a magnetic field, which may be AC or DC.
The varied applications for chokes include use in power supplies, audio amplifiers, welders, UPS, variable speed drives, audio speaker cross-overs and inverters.
Reactors are a type of inductor used to limit the starting current to large electrical machines. These reactors can be either single phase or three phase.
SES has wound inductors & reactors ranging in size from less than 1Kg to hundreds of Kg.
SES can supply:
- SINGLE PHASE CHOKES & REACTORS
- THREE PHASE REACTORS
- AIR-CORED CHOKES
- C-CORE & EI CONSTRUCTION
