Common mode ferrite chokes

Common mode chokes are usually based on high permeability ferrite toroids with at least two symmetrical windings. The operating current flows through them in such a way that the magnetics fields cancel each other out. The operating current is only affected by the low stray inductance of the windings. If the currents in the windigs are different, because of asymmetric interference, a high inductance works on the differential current.

These chokes are used mainly for RFI suppression of appliances and machines. Moreover these highly symmetrical chokes can be used as transformers as well as for potential separation.

Our standard offer consists of double chokes PMEC 100 to 104 series in vertical or horizontal design.

On request we can supply chokes with three or more windings too.
