dv/dt Filters
Our dv/dt filters are designed to provide superior protection and performance for motor drives across various industries. By reducing drive output voltage dv/dt and voltage stress at motor windings, our filters protect AC motors from the destructive effects of peak voltages, increase motor service life, and improve system reliability.
Applications
dv/dt filters dominate in the most demanding applications, delivering unmatched performance and reliability for:
- Precision motor drives and inverters
- HVAC systems
- Mining and conveyor systems
- Electric vehicle powertrain testing
- Oil and gas operations
- Marine propulsion and onboard systems
- Machinery comprising servo or torque motors
Engineered to excel. Built to endure.
Reliable Power Protection
- Reducing Voltage Stress: Minimize destructive voltage spikes and protect motor windings from premature aging and failure.
- Lowering dv/dt Rates: Sharply reduce the rate of voltage change to safeguard motors and cables from insulation damage.
- Eliminating Overvoltages: Prevent harmful overvoltages caused by line reflections, ensuring stable motor operation.
- Enhancing Motor Lifespan: Extend the service life of AC motors by reducing stress on insulation and windings.
- Improving System Reliability: Deliver consistent performance and uptime for mission-critical applications.
- Reducing Electromagnetic Interference (EMI): Minimize noise propagation to neighboring equipment, ensuring cleaner operation.
