Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides technical specifications and applications for MTE Corporation's Series A Sine Wave Filters, dV/dT Filters, DC Link Chokes, and Surge Protection Devices. These products are designed to enhance motor protection, reduce electromagnetic interference, and improve power quality in various industrial applications.
Sine Wave Filters: These filters convert PWM inverter outputs into sine-wave voltages, reducing motor insulation failures and electromagnetic interference. They are suitable for applications with inverter switching frequencies from 2 kHz to 8 kHz and can handle motor lead lengths up to 15,000 feet. The filters meet IEEE-519 standards and are available for motors ranging from 1.5 to 700 Hp.
dV/dT Filters: Designed to protect AC motors from peak voltages due to long cable runs, these filters are effective with cable lengths up to 1,000 feet and can handle switching frequencies between 900 Hz and 8 kHz. They reduce voltage spikes and maintain motor torque by minimizing voltage drops.
DC Link Chokes: These components are used to reduce AC input line harmonics, absorb voltage spikes, and improve DC bus waveforms. They are beneficial in applications like AC PWM inverters and variable frequency motor drives, offering enhanced power quality without causing AC input voltage drops.
Surge Protection Devices: PR-O-TECT modules protect sensitive electronics from voltage transients and spikes. They are used in conjunction with three-phase reactors to extend module life and reduce system downtime. Typical applications include adjustable speed drives and industrial controls.
Noise Suppression Network: The Type M-1877 network addresses facility interference issues caused by high-frequency emissions from drives and inverters. It is suitable for use with various electronic equipment and helps reduce interference with sensitive loads.

Series A Sine Wave Filter New MTE Series A sine-wave filters provide a sine-wave output voltage when driven from PWM inverters with switching frequencies from 2 kHz to 8 kHz. For drive applications, these filters eliminate the problem of motor insulation failures and reduce electromagnetic interfer-ence by eliminating the high dV/dT associated with inverter output waveforms. For alternative energy applications, such as wind driven generators, where an inverter is used to return power to the utility distribution system through a step-up transformer, these filters meet the requirements of IEEE-519 and permit the use of standard transformers. Harmonic voltage distortion feeding a trans-former at full load and at 60 Hz is 5% maxi- mum. Harmonic voltage distortion feeding a motor at full load and at 60 Hz is 5% typical. The Sine wave filter is available in 200Ֆ230 380-480, 550-600 VAC and for motors from 1.5 to 700 Hp Panel-mount or NEMA 1, 2 and 3R enclosures are available. Typical applications include submersible pumps, low voltage drives feeding medium voltage motors, HVAC equipment, wind turbines and applications where the distance between the motor and the inverter is up to 15,000 feet. The Sine Wave filter has a continuous current rating of 100% RMS and intermittent current of 150% for 1 minute. Sine Wave Filters help eliminate the high dV/dT associated with inverter output waveforms in applications where the distance between the mo-tor and the inverter is up to 15,000 feet.
