The MTE RLW REACTOR is MTE’s newest reactor line that, like our RL Reactor product line, keeps equipment running longer by absorbing many of the power line disturbances which otherwise damage or shut down inverters, variable frequency drives (VFDs), variable speed controllers, and other sensitive equipment. They are a state-of-the-art filtering solution for virtually any 4 or 6 pulse rectifier or power conversion unit.

The RLW is primarily applied to LINE SIDE applications, where the majority of reactors are used, but it can be applied to LOAD SIDE uses as well. For load side applications, simply de-rate the current to 70% of the reactor’s nominal current rating for a complete solution to either line side or load side requirements.

KEY FEATURES of the MTE RLW Reactor Include:• Optimized design for peak performance in a compact and lightweight package• Small footprint, ideal for OEM’s, Integrators, and Panel Builders• Smaller size and weight than other standard reactor products available in the industry• Adaptor plate allows for drop-in replacement of other reactors (available on most models)• DIN Rail mounting option• Expanded inductance values and low current offerings to support both NEC and IEC world-wide motor applications• Suitable for application to single phase drives to provide transient protection as well• Crossover Tables available for other standard reactors• Ratings from 0.5A through 83A available, with products up to 750A available year end 2009

RLW Reactors

Functional Features Include:

• Virtual Elimination of Nuisance Tripping • Extension of Semiconductor Life • Reduction in Harmonic Distortion

Appropriately applied output features include motor protection from long leads, output dV/dT, reduced motor temperatures and reduced audible noise.

Selection Table RLW Ratings Selection & Part Number Guide

For detailed product specifications refer to the RLW User Manual.


Notes:This table is suitable for selection of an input 3-phase reactor. For use as output 3-phase reactors, de-rate the current to 70%. Specific current & inductance ratings are indicated on Pages 4 & 5. Consult factory for any special applications (higher current, motor rating different than controller rating, etc).Select RLW reactors based upon motor horsepower (or kilowatts) and voltage. Verify that the motor full load ampere name plate rating is within the RMS current rating of the reactor, & the drive/inverter rating is within the maximum continuous current rating of the reactor

Note: The effective impedance of the reactor changes with actual RMS current through the reactor as seen in the above equation. A 5% impedance reactor becomes 3% if its current is reduced to 60%.

Impedance Rating:3% impedance reactors are typically sufficient to absorb power line spikes and motor current surges. They will prevent nuisance tripping of drives or circuit breakers in most applications.5% impedance reactors are best for reducing harmonic currents and frequencies. Use them when you must reduce VFD drive generated harmonics, and to reduce motor operating temperature, or to reduce motor noise.

Standard Application of RLW Reactors:On the input of motor VFD controller or six-pulse nonlinear load, RLW Reactors protect sensitive electronic equipment from electrical noise created by the drive or inverter (notching, pulsed distortion or harmonics). RLW Reactors protect the controller from surges or spikes on the incoming power lines and reduce harmonic distortion. They help to reduce VFD produced non-linear current harmonics that may cause voltage distortion and effect other devices powered from the same AC mains.

Multiple drives or inverters on a common power line require one reactor per controller. Individual reactors provide filtering between each controller (reducing crosstalk) and also provide optimum surge protection for each unit. A single reactor serving several controllers does not provide adequate protection, filtering or harmonic reduction when the system is partially loaded.

Single Phase input configured drives can be protected from spikes and transient voltage by using standard 3-phase RLW World Reactors for 1- phase applications by routing each of the two supply conductors through an outside coil and leaving the center open. Application Note AN0102 details this use. Note that the single drive input current is √3 (SQRT 3) times the 3-phase motor values. The above table may be used to select a reactor for 1-phase input applications.

In extended motor lead applications up to 300 feet use RLW Reactors between the inverter & motor to reduce dV/dT & motor terminal peak voltage, de-rating them to 70% of nominal current. The use of a separate load reactor also protects the controller from surge current caused by a rapid change in the load, & even from a short circuit at the load. MTE Reactors also reduce operating temperature & audible noise in motor loads. For a guaranteed long lead solution up to 1000 feet use the MTE Series A dV/dT Filter. More than one motor on a single drive presents a complex load not suited to reactor protection. Use an MTE Series A Sine Wave Filter when there is a need to protect more than one motor or for single motor distances to 15,000 feet.

OPTIONS: KIT-0038 - DIN rail Mount.

A DIN rail mounting option is provided to utilize standard panel mounted DIN rail for securing the reactor via two steel mounting clips.

KIT-0039 - RL base mount converter plate.

The base plate adaptor option will allow the RLW to use existing RL bolt hole mounting patterns.

KIT-0040 - Vibration pads for enclosure mounting.

Vibration isolation for enclosed reactors may be fitted with an optional vibration pad to dampen cabinet vibrations from the reactor.

Product Specifications - MTE RLW ReactorsRefer to the RLW Reactor User Manual for Detailed Specifications

Standard Impedance Levels: 1.5% - Minimum impedance for reduction of low level voltage transients. RLW reactors may be used as a supplement to already installed reactors. 3.0% - Helps minimize (95%) most drive nuisance tripping and faults caused by over-voltage and input line disturbances. 5.0% - MTE recommended value to protect drive components from transient over-voltage, prevents (99.9%) nuisance trips and offers limited harmonic protection to input line power from drive induced harmonics.Impedance Basis Calculation: % Z= (I/V) x 2πfL√3 x 100Service Factor (continuous): 100%Overload Rating - Line Side: 150% of RMS rating for 1 minute 200% of RMS rating for 10 secondsSystem Voltage: Up to 690 VoltsSwitching Frequency: Maximum - 20 kHz Minimum - 1 kHzInsulation System: 200º CTemperature Rise: 140º C (average)Ambient Temperature Full Load: -40 to 50º C Open -40 to 90º C StorageAltitude (Maximum): 1000 metersFundamental Frequency (de-rate above 60Hz): 50/60 HzInductance Tolerance: +/- 10%Inductance Curve (Typical): 100% at 100% current 80% at 150% current 50% at 200% currentDielectric Strength: 4000 volts RMS (2200 volts peak repetitive)Maximum Audible Level at Two (2) Meters: Line applications: 65 dBa Load applications: 76 dBaApprovals: CE, UL-508, Type RL cUL per CSA C22.2 Note: Short Circuit rating not required under Exception No.1 of UL508A SB4.2.1 effective 4/25/06DIN Rail Mount: 2 spring steel screw mounts for 35mm rail with 10-32 screws
