Key Specifications
Parameter Category Specification
Product Type AC Line Choke (Input Reactor / Supply Inductor)
ABB Series / Model ALCL-15-7
Rated Current 15 A (at 40°C ambient, with appropriate derating at higher temperatures)
Inductance per Phase 0.70 mH (700 µH) ± 10% (measured at rated current and frequency, e.g., 50/60 Hz)
Voltage Drop Typically 3-5% of the supply voltage at rated current (exact value depends on supply voltage).
Electrical Connection 3-phase (for connection to 3-phase supply lines L1, L2, L3).
Typical Application To be installed on the input (line) side of a VFD with a compatible current rating (e.g., for a drive with an input current of approximately 15A or less, with appropriate safety margin).
Key Functions • Harmonic Mitigation: Reduces line-side current harmonics (THDi).
• Peak Current Limiting: Limits inrush current.
• Transient Protection: Attenuates voltage spikes and line disturbances.
• Improves Power Factor: Can improve the displacement power factor.
Mounting Typically designed for cabinet or panel mounting via fixing brackets.
Insulation Class Standard class (e.g., Class F or H for high-temperature endurance).
Core Material Iron core with air gap to prevent saturation.
The ABB ALCL-15-7 is an AC Line Choke (Input Reactor) designed for use with variable frequency drives . Specifically, it is a 15 Ampere choke with an inductance of 0.70 mH (700 µH) per phase at the rated current. This model is part of ABB's standard accessory line-up, identified by the "ALCL" series code.
