Also known as inductors, chokes & line filters, TCI reactors are used on both the input (line) side and the output (load) side of a VSD. Reactors provide a cost-effective solution to reducing harmonic distortion and are available in 3% impedance and 5% impedance options. xx
Reactors provide the following benefits:
- Extend the motor life on the output of VSD’s
- Dampen Overshoot Peak Voltage
- Reduce Motor Heating
- Reduce Audible Noise
KDR Reactirs by TCI
Variable frequency (speed) drives are beneficial to a wide range of applications, but contain a power
conversion process that creates current and voltage distortion which can cause system-wide
problems, including: xxxx
- Transformer and distribution equipment overheating
- Random breaker tripping
- Sensitive equipment may fail completely
- Poor power factor
- Reduced system efficiency
The addition of a KDR Reactor will reduce harmonic content, which reduces the total RMS
current, thereby improving the total power factor.
- Nuisance tripping is less common
- Drive uptime is increased
- Power factor is improved
