AC Line Reactors

Line Reactors are Today's Solution to SCR Drive - Inverter Application Problems

Inductors placed at the input and output of electrical equipment, can provide protection and improve performance. Line Reactors absorb many power line disturbances which could damage or shut down your inverters, variable speed controllers or other voltage sensitive equipment

  • Line Reactor designs conform to UL, CSA, and IEC international standards.
  • Three phase AC line reactors when used as input or output filters on inverter electronic speed drive applications provide several significant benefits which are explained on this site.
  • Motor Guarding Transient Filters, incorporate reactors, resistors, and capacitors. When these devices are placed on the output of adjustable frequency drives they protect the motor windings from the damaging voltage spikes associated with the fast switching effects of IGBT's and long lines and cables.
