Designed to Handle Higher Drive Produced Harmonics
Drive Protection (Line Side):
RPL Reactors absorb voltage spikes, voltage transients, and other power line disturbances, minimizing nuisance drive trips and reducing harmonic distortion. Perfect for 6-pulse bridge rectifiers, or as the grid or drive side inductor in an LCL filter for active front end rectification.
Reduce Harmonic Distortion (Line Side):
Rectifiers can create nonlinear loads and impose harmonic distortion on the grid; RPL Reactors provide impedance and filtering to reduce harmonics, helping applications meet IEEE 519.
Motor Protection (Load Side):
When installed at the output of a VFD or inverter, load reactors limit voltage spikes that can break down motor insulation.
Long Motor Lead Protection (Load Side):
When used as a load reactor, RPL Reactors allow worry free operation with motor lead lengths up to 300 feet.
Heavy-Duty Solution:
RPL Reactors are intended for both line and load side reactor applications. They also perform well with active front end drives and operate at higher efficiencies
Inductor Efficiency:
CTM Magnetics patented inductor technology enables highly efficient reactor designs for 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 RLF reactors have been tested and passed rigorous explosive and extreme shock & vibe military testing. Liquid cooled load reactors are the optimal choice for mobile, marine, and military applications.
