Enhanced Design Reactors for Line and Load The MTE RLW REACTOR is MTE’s newest reactor line that, like our RL Reactor product line, keeps equipment running longer by absorbing the power line disturbances. They are a state-of-the-art filtering solution for virtually any 4 or 6 pulse rectifier or power conversion unit. Why Do I Need a Line/Load Reactor? Are you experiencing nuisance tripping of your inverters, variable frequency drives (VFDs), variable speed controllers, and other sensitive equipment? Voltage spikes on the AC power lines cause rapid elevation of the DC Bus voltage which may cause the inverter to “trip-off” and indicate an over-voltage protection condition. Use reactors to absorb these line spikes and offer protection to the rectifiers and DC Bus capacitors while minimizing nuisance tripping of the inverter. A 3% impedance reactor is 90% effective at protecting against transients or nuisance tripping of AC voltage source inverters, due to voltage spikes. The 5% RL reactor extends spike protection to 99%. Are your motors not lasting as long as promised? Properly sized RLW load reactors help to protect motors and cables from the high peak voltages and fast rise times (dv/dt) which can be experienced in IGBT inverter applications when the distance between the inverter and motor is up to 100 feet. Perfect Reactor for OEM’s, System Integrators, and Panel Builders! Optimally designed for peak performance in a compact and lightweight design. Smaller size and weight than other standard reactors. Multiple mounting options available to accommodate your machine building needs. Reactor designed from a global perspective, allowing machines to be shipped globally. Lower horsepower selection for smaller motor protection needs.
