DC drives and a wide variety of other types of power electronic equipment. In addition, they provide limited input line current harmonic mitigation and aid in long lead protection for inverter fed motors. Note: (See MTE harmonic filters and motor protection products for guaranteed results.) MTE reactors are available in a large number of current ratings and a variety of inductance values.

AC Line / Load Reactors User Manual PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS (cont’d) AUDIBLE NOISE: Guard-AC Line/Load Reactors offer low noise operation. Core and coil construction, flux density control, harmonic compensation as well as our epoxy impregnation process assure minimal audible noise radiation. Although our reactors are typically “quiet”, waveforms vary by drive type and application and therefore reactor audible noise may vary by application.
