DMO Motor Chokes

Single-Phase Motor Chokes DMO

Single-phase motor chokes are critical components of industrial electric drive systems, installed between the output of a frequency converter and the electric motor. Their main task is to compensate for the negative effects that occur when a PWM (pulse-width modulation) signal is transmitted over the motor cable.

Why They're Needed

Why Are Motor Chokes Needed?

Using long cables between the converter and the motor creates parasitic capacitance, which, combined with the high switching frequency of the power transistors (IGBTs), leads to a number of problems that a motor choke solves.

  • Reducing Capacitive Leakage CurrentsThe choke prevents the frequency converter from being overloaded, allowing it to deliver its rated current directly to the load.
  • Limiting the Rate of Voltage Rise (dV/dt)Protects the motor winding insulation from breakdown and premature aging by smoothing out voltage spikes.
  • Suppressing Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)Significantly reduces the level of interference radiated by the cable, both on the motor side and toward the supply network.

Single-Phase Motor Chokes DMO

Leading frequency converter manufacturers strongly recommend or explicitly require installing motor chokes when the motor cable length exceeds 20–50 meters, depending on the drive model and power.

When to Apply

When Motor Chokes Are Required

  • DesignSingle-phase, installed between the VFD and the motor
  • Motor cable lengthOver 20–50 m (depending on drive model and power)
  • Three-phase drivesThree single-phase DMO chokes can replace one three-phase choke — convenient where panel space is limited
  • Protective effectReduces capacitive leakage currents, limits dV/dt, suppresses EMI
  • Installation pointBetween the frequency converter output and the motor
