Schurter Launches Current Compensated Chokes for EV Fast Charging Applications

SCHURTER has launched a new choke family for energy applications with particularly high power on the PCB. The DKUH-1 current-compensated chokes are designed for currents of up to 100 A and a rated voltage of up to 800 VDC.

The ever-more compact design does not stop at particularly powerful applications in the energy sector. What used to be freely wired as a matter of course is now also included on the circuit board. This high-density design combined with optimized energy efficiency leads to an increase in electromagnetic interference in modern electronic devices. This requires correspondingly powerful filter elements.

Thanks to the bifilar winding and nanocrystalline cores in the DKUH-1 chokes, enormously high currents are possible with still compact dimensions. The chokes can be mounted directly on the PCB and soldered in a wave bath. The open design enables optimum cooling, both passive and active. This makes the members of the DKUH-1 family ideal for high power ratings in the energy range with voltages of up to 800 VDC.

Key applications

The new high-current chokes are ideal for energy applications such as EV fast-charging stations, battery storage, photovoltaics, or energy converters. However, the new chokes are also an excellent solution for many high-power industrial applications. Inquiries for customized versions are welcome.
