RLL Line Reactors

Drive Protection:
CTM line reactors absorb voltage spikes, voltage transients, and other power line disturbances, extending the life of motor drive electronics, bridge capacitors, and semiconductors.

Minimize Nuisance Tripping:
AC voltage spikes lead to rapid rises in the DC Bus voltage, causing the inverter to shut-off due to over-voltage. Line reactors absorb voltage spikes, significantly reducing nuisance tripping.

Reduce Harmonic Distortion:
6-pulse rectifiers are nonlinear loads that create significant harmonics; line reactors provide impedance to reduce harmonics, helping applications meet IEEE 519.

Protect Sensitive Equipment:
Line reactors also provide protection for nearby equipment sensitive to harmonic distortion created by nonlinear loads.

Cost-Optimized Solution:
RLL Line Reactors are optimized for line-side filtering applications with bridge rectifications.

Inductor Efficiency:
CTM Magnetics patented inductor technology enables highly efficient reactor designs for both line and high frequency applications.

Power Density:
Innovative packaging and cooling systems, combined with highly efficient inductors enable unparalleled power density.

Liquid Cooling:
CTM Magnetics patented liquid cooled technology enables higher thermal efficiency, power density, and performance. With liquid cooling, 97% of the reactor heat is captured by the coolant with only 3% released to ambient. This reduces the need for additional cooling and allows for more flexibility in locating reactors near temperature sensitive equipment.

Military Grade Shock & Vibration:
CTM liquid cooled line reactors have been tested and passed rigorous explosive and extreme shock & vibe military testing. Liquid cooled line reactors are the optimal choice for mobile, marine, and military applications.
