Electrical characteristics

7.1

Rated voltage

The rated voltage

component at temperatures between the lower category temperature

temperature

7.2

Test voltage

The test voltage

test duration in the course of final inspection (100% end of line testing). This test may be repeated

once as an incoming goods inspection test.

7.3

Rated current

The rated current

the nominal operating conditions.

For components with 1, 2 or 3 lines, the rated current is specified for simultaneous flow of a current

of this value through all lines.

During ac operation, higher thermal loads may be caused due to waveforms which deviate from a

pure sine wave. Where necessary, such cases must be taken into consideration.

7.4

Overcurrent

The rated current may be exceeded briefly. Details on permissible currents and load duration can

be obtained upon request.

7.5

Pulse handling capability

Saturation effects (e.g in the ferrite cores used) may occur when high-energy pulses are applied to

the components and these may lead to impaired interference suppression. The maximum permis-

sible voltage-time integral area is used to characterize the pulse handling capability of chokes. For

standard components a range from 1 to 10 mVs can be assumed. More specific data can be ob-

tained upon request.

7.6

Current derating

At ambient temperatures above the operating temperature stated in the data sheet, the operating

current must be reduced according to the derating curve.

7.7

Rated inductance

The rated inductance

measured at the frequency
