RSL Reactors

High Performance Solution:
Our RSL Reactors are high performance, next-generation, liquid cooled reactors designed specifically for applications with high switching frequencies and high THID. Extremely low core losses enable these reactors to excel where other reactors fail.

Silicon Carbide Capable:
This product line is designed specifically with SiC applications in mind. SiC switching devices are quickly being adopted in industry due to their fast switching speeds and low losses. While other reactors cannot handle the speed, RSL reactors are built for switching speeds up to 50 kHz.

Inductance Stability:
RSL reactors maintain their inductance over a wide frequency range. Inductance remains stable (<110% rated inductance) at low current levels, and drops off slowly at high current levels. At 200% rated current, 86% of the rated inductance is still available. At 500% reactors maintain and incredible 57% of their rated inductance.

Noisy Signals (high THID):
These reactors are the ideal for signals with very high current harmonics. With superior performance, these harmonics lead to minimal additional heat.

Stop Rewinding Motors:
CTM RSL reactors reduce harmful voltage spikes and insulation stress. RHF reactors lessen harmonic current distortion, thereby minimizing unnecessary motor heating. By reducing winding stress and motor heat (two primary causes of motor winding failure), motor winding breakdown and failure is greatly reduced, minimizing the need to constantly rewind motors.

Extended System Life and Reliability:
CTM RSL reactors reduce voltage stress and excess heat not just for the motor, but for all other load side components, greatly extending the life and reliability of the entire system.

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 RSL reactors have been tested and passed rigorous explosive and extreme shock & vibe military testing.
