Uk - calculation of a choke’s voltage drop

The voltage drop of a smoothing coil and thus the voltage reduction of the connected load at the output can be determined as following. The inductive or reactive reactance (XL) of the smoothing choke can be calculated with the inductance of the choke (L) and the mains frequency (fmains).

XL = ω . L = 2  . fmains . L

 

The voltage drop (Uk) of the smoothing choke can be calculated with the rated current (IN) and the inductive reactance of the choke (XL):

for one-phase smoothing coils: Uk = IN . XL
for three-phase smoothing coils: Uk = IN . XL . √ 3

 

Example:

Calculation of the voltage drop (Uk) of an one-phase smoothing coil (Uk) with an inductance of
L = 0,3 mH, a current of I = 100 A and a rated voltage of 230 V at f = 50 Hz.

Reactance: XL = ω . L = 2 . 50Hz . 0,3mH = 0,094Ω
Voltage drop: Uk = IN . XL . = 100A . 0,094Ω  = 9,4V
Or given as percentage to mains voltage: UK% = Uk /  Umains  = 9,4/ 230 = 4%

 

At an american net with U = 110 V at f = 60 Hz, the choke acts as following:

Reactance: XL = ω . L = 2 . 60Hz . 0,3mH = 0,113Ω
Voltage drop: Uk = IN . XL . = 100A . 0,113Ω = 11,3V
Or given as percentage to mains voltage: UK% = Uk /  Umains = 11,3/ 110 = 10,2%

 

This means the same choke will have more than twice the Uk, if operated in an american net.

 

Tauscher chokes are calculated to have a small Uk%. Especially cut cores and cores made of amorphous and nanocrystalline materials have a small Uk% and thus low losses and a very good attenuation of harmonics.
