CTM and the Future of Power Quality

April 20, 2015

At CTM, superior technology allows us to engineer the ultimate power quality solutions. We design and produce three phase inductors (reactors) and filters for the line (grid) side and load (motor) side of variable frequency drives from 40 A through 3,000 A. Our technologies provide size, weight, power loss and audible noise reduction to the following industries (and more!):
