3-Phase Load Reactors RWK5420

Three-phase dv/dt reactor 6% for motor protection

RWK5420

Three-phase dv/dt reactor 6% for motor protection

  • Reduction of drive output voltage dv/dt
  • Reduction of motor temperature
  • Increase of motor service life
  • Compact and economic open frame design
  • Standard catalog reactors up to 1000 A
  • UL rated materials used

Features and Benefits

Converts the rectangular PWM output voltage of motor drives into a smooth sine wave with low residual ripple
Elimination of premature motor damage caused by high dv/dt, overvoltages, cable ringing, motor overheating, and eddy current losses
Improves bearing life time because of bearing currents caused by circulating currents
Complies with IEC 60034-17* requirements for general purpose motors

Typical Applications

HVAC applications
Pumps
Conveyors
Compressors
Elevators
Cranes
Medium voltage applications, deployed in front of the step-up transformer
Retrofit installations with motor drives
Motor drive with long motor cable
Motor drive with multiple motors in parallel
