Electrical Control Distributors has now partnered with MTE line reactors!
A common cause of premature drive failures is from incoming voltage spikes.A line reactor in front of a Variable Frequency Drive is an excellent way to lessen the effects of line voltage spikes.
A good “Rule of Thumb” is;
A 3% Line Reactor will eliminate 95% of the damaging voltage spikes
A 5% Line Reactor will eliminate 99% of the damaging voltage spikes
Guard-AC line/load reactors help keep your equipment running longer by absorbing many of the power line disturbances which otherwise damage or shut down your inverters, variable speed controllers, or other sensitive equipment. They are the modern technology solution to inverter and drive application problems. Guard-AC reactors are harmonic compensated and IGBT protected to assure optimum performance in the presence of harmonics. They are very effective at reducing harmonics produced by inverters and drives, and in most cases will help you to meet IEEE 519. Use our harmonic compensated reactors on either the input or output of an adjustable speed drive/inverter. There is no need to derate our "harmonic compensated" reactors for harmonics
