Benefits of UsingLine/Load ReactorsGuard-AC line/load reactors help keep your equipmentrunning longer by absorbing many of the power line dis-turbances which otherwise damage or shut down yourinverters, variable speed controllers, or other sensitiveequipment. They are the modern technology solution toinverter and drive application problems. Guard-ACreactors are harmonic compensated and IGBT protectedto assure optimum performance in the presence of har-monics. They are very effective at reducing harmonicsproduced by inverters and drives, and in most caseswill help you to meet IEEE 519. Use our harmonic com-pensated reactors on either the input or output of anadjustable speed drive/inverter. There is no need to de-rate our “harmonic compensated” reactors for harmonics.

• Protect Motors from Long Lead Effects

• Reduce Output Voltage dv/dt

• Virtually Eliminate Nuisance Tripping

• Extend Semiconductor Life

• Reduce Harmonic Distortion

• Reduce Surge Currents

• Reduce Motor Temperature

• Reduce Motor Audible Noise

• Improve True Power Factor

• Helps Meet IEEE 519 or EN 61000-3-4

Impedance Rating3% impedance reactors are typically sufficient toabsorb power line spikes and motor current surges.They will prevent nuisance tripping of drives or circuitbreakers in most applications.

5% impedance reactors are best for reducing harmoniccurrents and frequencies. Use them when you mustcomply with IEEE 519, to reduce motor operating tem-perature, or to reduce motor noise.

NOTE: The actual effective impedance of the reactorchanges with actual fundamental current.

Harmonic ReductionBecause all standard Guard-AC reactors are compensat-ed for harmonics (current and frequency), they areextremely effective at reducing the amount of harmonicswhich are produced by a drive/inverter. Use 5% imped-ance, harmonic compensated reactors for best reductionof harmonic distortion.

• HARMONIC COMPENSATION makes Guard-AC reac-tors suitable for use on either the drive input or driveoutput. They are designed to carry full rated fundamen-tal current plus handle current and frequencies associ-ated with harmonics up to 50 percent more.

• TERMINALS are provided as standard to save installa-tion cost and minimize panel space. Finger proof (IP20)terminals are provided through 45 amps, solid copperbox lugs above that to 400 amps. Tab type terminalsare available as an option.

• EPOXY IMPREGNATION minimizes audible noise in thereactor and enhances structural integrity.

• IGBT PROTECTION allows all MTE standard reactorsto be used on the output of variable frequency drivesincluding IGBT types with switching frequencies up to 20KHZ. A premium dielectric system is utilized to protectthe first, last and end turns from the potentially high cir-cuit peak voltages and fast dv/dt which are experiencedin applications with long leads between the inverter andmotor. Additionally, the general dielectric system of eachreactor meets UL-506 (4000 volts rms).

• HIGH SATURATION CURRENT RATING of Guard-ACreactors maximizes their surge current protection capa-bility. Guard-AC reactors absorb many of the powerline disturbances which cause nuisance trips on voltagesource inverters.

Reactor LinearityThis curve illustrates the linearity of Guard-AC reactors.Even at 150 percent of their current rating, these reactorsstill have 100% of their nominal inductance. This assuresmaximum filtering of distortion even in the presence ofsevere harmonics and best absorption of surges. The typicaltolerance on rated inductance is plus-or-minus 5 percent.

• For higher or lower current ratings, consult factory.• For other voltages or frequencies, consult factory.• Single phase reactors are also available, consult factory

for proper selection.

• Custom or modified reactors are available to meetspecific requirements for special applications such asharmonic filters, consult factory for assistance.

This table is suitable for selection of both input and outputreactors because their harmonic compensation and IGBTprotection allow them to be used in either application.Specific current and inductance ratings are indicated onPage 7. Consult factory for any special applications (highercurrent, motor rating different than controller rating, etc.)

• Select Guard-AC line/load reactors based upon motorhorsepower, (or kilowatts) and voltage. Verify that themotor full load ampere rating is within the fundamentalcurrent rating of the reactor, and the drive/inverter ratingis within the maximum continuous current rating of thereactor (See Page 7).

Motor ProtectionReactors help to protect motors from the high peakvoltages and fast rise times (dv/dt) which can beexperienced in IGBT inverter applications when thedistance between the inverter and motor is long.

LC Type (dv/dt) LongLead FiltersThese motor protection filters are available toimprove the inverter output wave form from a PWMtype to a nearly sinusoidal wave form.

Voltage Spike ProtectionA 3% impedance reactor is very effective at pro-tecting against damage to or nuisance tripping ofAC voltage source inverters, due to voltage spikes.

Voltage spikes on the AC power lines cause elevationof the DC Bus voltage which may cause the inverterto “trip-off” and indicate an over-voltage protectioncondition. Use reactors to absorb these line spikesand offer protection to the rectifiers and DC Buscapacitors while minimizing nuisance tripping of theinverter.

Page 8: Line Filters - 3-Phase ReactorsGuard-AC reactors are harmonic compensated and IGBT protected to assure optimum performance in the presence of har-monics. They are very effective at

Applying Line/Load ReactorsInput to Inverter/Drive:On the input of an electronic motor speed controller, line reactorsprotect sensitive electronic equipment from electrical noise createdby the drive or inverter (notching, pulsed distortion, harmonics).They also protect the controller from surges or spikes on theincoming power lines, as well as reduce harmonic distortion. They

help to meet the requirements of IEEE 519.

Output of Inverter/Drive:In long motor lead applications use reactors (IGBT protected)between the inverter and motor to reduce dv/dt and motor terminalpeak voltage. The use of a load (output) reactor also protects the con-troller from a surge current caused by a rapid change in the load, andeven from a short circuit at the load.

Our reactors also reduce operating temperature and audible noise inmotor loads. Harmonic compensation and IGBT protection of allGuard-AC reactors allows standard units to be used here with confi-dence. They improve the waveform integrity, thus enhancing motor per-

formance and system efficiency.

Multiple Controllers:Multiple drives or inverters on a common power line require onereactor per controller. Individual reactors provide filtering betweeneach controller (reduce crosstalk) and also provide optimum surgeprotection for each unit. A single reactor serving several controllersdoes not provide adequate protection, filtering or harmonic reduction

when the system is partially loaded.

Multiple Motors:When more than one motor is controlled by a single drive, a singlereactor can typically be used between the controller and themotors, as illustrated. The reactor should be sized based on thetotal motor/load horsepower.
