Single Phase Matrix ® Filters

Product catalog summary
Overview: The MTE M1 Single Phase Matrix® Filters are designed to reduce harmonics to 12% THID (Total Harmonic Current Distortion) in four pulse rectifier supplies, commonly used in electronic equipment like motor drives, welders, and battery chargers. These filters address concerns about harmonic distortion, which can disrupt communication equipment and degrade system efficiency.
Key Features:
  • Advanced Harmonic Solution: The patented technology offers superior harmonic attenuation and protection against voltage spikes, optimizing space with a compact design.
  • Guaranteed Performance: The filters guarantee a maximum of 12% THID at full load for AC variable frequency, variable torque drive applications, without causing system resonance or attracting harmonics from other loads.
  • UL Listed: The filters are UL Listed for both the USA and Canada, ensuring compliance with safety standards.
Product Selection and Installation:
  • Various enclosure options are available, including Nema 1, Nema 2, and Nema 3R for weather protection. Open modular construction is also offered for integration into custom enclosures.
  • Electrical options include contactor additions for load-dependent KVAR cancellation.
Typical Applications: The filters are suitable for mission-critical facilities, AC variable frequency drives, DC adjustable speed drives, electronic welders, battery chargers, fans, pumps, water treatment facilities, and induction heating equipment.
Performance Guarantee: MTE guarantees that the input current distortion will be ≤12% THID for M1 Series filters at full load, with modifications or replacements provided if this is not met.
Minimum System Requirements:
  • Source impedance: 1.5% to 6.0%
  • Frequency: 60Hz ± 0.75Hz
  • System Voltage: Nominal ±10%
  • Background Voltage Distortion: 1.0% THVD
Product Specifications:
  • Designed for 4 pulse rectifier, capacitor-based DC bus, and inverter drive loads.
  • Operating temperature ranges from -40 to +40 degrees C for enclosed filters and -40 to +50 degrees C for open panel filters.
  • Storage temperature ranges from -40 to +90 degrees C.
  • Altitude: 0 to 3300 feet without derating.
  • Relative Humidity: 0 to 95% non-condensing.
Performance Data: The document includes graphs showing harmonic spectrum and THID vs. load, illustrating the filter's performance at various loads.

Single Phase Matrix ® Filters-1

12% THID Harmonic Filters MTE M1 SINGLE PHASE MATRIX® FILTERS reduce harmonics to 12% THID of total harmonic current distortion on virtually any kind of four pulse rectifier supply. These power supplies are commonly found in electronic equipment such as adjustable speed motor drives, welders, battery chargers, servo drives and other electronic equipment. Harmonic distortion has become an increasing concern for power companies, industrial, and residential users of electrical (especially electronic) equipment and specifying engineers alike. Harmonics disrupt communication equipment, degrade electronic reliability, reduce system efficiency and equipment productivity. ADVANCED PATENTED HARMONICS SOLUTION PROVIDES BEST VALUE and HIGHEST PROTECTION - Single Phase Matrix® Filters allow users to achieve superior attenuation of harmonics when used with single phase drives or four pulse rectifier power supplies. The new patent pending reactor optimizes the technology for smaller packaging, requiring less floor or panel space than other filter schemes. Matrix® Filters provide protection against voltage spikes that could cause over voltage tripping or damage to input power components while preventing current harmonics from adversely affecting upstream circuit breakers, fuses, conductors, and transformers. GUARANTEED RESULTS - Unlike other harmonic filter technologies, the performance of MTE Matrix® Harmonic Filters is guaranteed! On AC variable frequency, variable torque drive applications (fans & pumps), Matrix® Filters will meet the guaranteed maximum levels of THID (total harmonic current distortion) at full load. Additionally, Matrix® Filters will not cause power system resonance nor attract harmonics from other non-linear loads. No system analysis is required to select and apply Matrix® Filters UL Listed (UL-508) Matrix® Harmonic Filters are UL Listed (File E180243) for both USA and Canada. PRODUCT SELECTION: See MTE M1 Single Phase Matrix® Filter Selection Brochure or visit the MTE website at www. mtecorp.com for Single Phase Matrix selection guides and option details. INSTALLATION OPTIONS: Matrix® Harmonic Filters are available in a variety of enclosure options. The standard enclosure meets the requirements of both Nema 1 & Nema 2. The Nema 3R provides weather protection and is available in optional stainless or galvanized steel construction. Optional Serpent/Rodent screens can be added to block small animals from entering enclosures. For maximum flexibility, Matrix® Filters are also offered as open modular construction for integration into customer enclosures and panels . ELECTRICAL OPTIONS: Various contactor options may be added to the Matrix® Filter to provide for load dependent leading KVAR cancellation to enhance compatibility with standby power and support service requirements. Typical uses include: • Mission Critical Facilities • AC variable frequency drives • DC adjustable speed drives • Electronic welders • Battery chargers • Fans and Pumps • Water Treatment Facilities • Induction Heating Equipment Part Number Code: Product Code Matrix Single Series Type PPanel Mnt GGeneral Purpose NEMA2 WWeather NEMA3R Current Rating 0066 amps 05555 amps Voltage Frequency Code A240VAC 60Hz D480VAC 60Hz Enclosure Options Contactor Options Driving Power Quality MTE Corporation - Menomonee Falls, WI - 1-800-455-4MTE - www.mtecorp.com MTE M1 Single Phase Matrix® Filters Single Phase Matrix® Filters
