- Lower magnetic stray fields → better EMI/EMC
- Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) with connected components/circuits
Description
How it behaves
-
When a common-mode signal is applied the current travels in the same direction through both coils → magnetic core flux builds up → impedance is high
-
When a differential-mode signal is applied the current travels in the opposite direction through the coils → magnetic core flux weakens → impedance is low
What do Common-Mode Chokes aim to solve
-
Lower magnetic stray fields → better EMI/EMC
-
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) with connected components/circuits
| Voltage (RMS/peak) | 400V / 550V |
| Current (RMS/peak) | 70A / 80A |
| DC resistance (Rdc) | ~ 2mΩ |
| Inductance | ~ 25mH |
| Q factor at operating frequency* | < 10 |
| Frequency ** | 50Hz - 400kHz |
* Depends on working frequency range (High Q at operating frequency, Low Q at noise frequency)
** High frequencies, especially above 300kHz, will limit power handling
