Motor Protection
Reactors help to protect motors from the high peak voltages and fast rise times (dv/dt) which can be experienced in IGBT inverter applications when the distance between the inverter and motor is long.

Harmonic Reduction
Because all standard GE Line/Load reactors are compensated for harmonics (current and frequency), they are extremely effective at reducing the amount of harmonics which are produced by a drive/inverter. Use 5% impedance, harmonic compensated reactors for best reaction of harmonic distortion.

Voltage Spike Protection
A 3% impedance reactor is very effective at protecting against damage to or nuisance tripping of AC voltage source inverters, due to voltage spikes.

Voltage spikes on the AC power lines cause elevation of the DC Bus voltage which may cause the inverter to "trip-off" and indicate an over-voltage protection condition. Use reactors to absorb these line spikes and offer protection to the rectifiers and DC Bus capacitors while minimizing nuisance tripping of the inverter.

NEMA 1 Cabinets
All GE Line/Load Reactors are available as either open type or in a NEMA Type 1 general purpose enclosure. To order a reactor mounted in a cabinet simply change the second to last digit of the product number from ""0"" to ""1"". Example 37G 00802 becomes 37G 00812.

To order a reactor mounted in NEMA 1 enclosure simply change the second to last digit of the product number from "0" to "1".

Matrix Harmonic filters provide broadband reduction of harmonics. Matrix Harmonic Filters not only offer better performance over other broad band filtering and 18-pulse harmonic reduction techniques, they are also suitable for a wider range of applications. Matrix Harmonic Filters can be installed in either variable or constant torque drive applications and can be applied on either diode or SCR rectifiers. For any application other than variable torque applications, it is suggested that you contact the factory for filter selection.

The Matrix D Filters typically achieve 5 % THID at full load and guarantee worst case current distortion at any load between 0 % and 100 %, will be 8 % THID or less at the filter input terminals. The Matrix D Series is typically used in place of applications requiring harmonic mitigation associated with 12- or 18-pulse rectifiers. The chart compares the performance of Matrix D Filters to 18-pulse rectifiers in real world applications, which include line voltage unbalance of 1 % to 3 % and loading conditions from 0 % to 100 %.

Matrix D Filter performs better than 18-pulse in normal operating conditions.

Applications
Select Matrix filters based on the horsepower (or kilowatt) rating for the adjustable speed drive or the combined current rating of all motors to be connected to the load side of the filter. For variable torque, DC drive or other applications consult factory for proper filter selection.

Source Impedance
If the source impedance is less than 1.5 % impedance, it is required that an input reactor of at least 1.5 % impedance be added in order to have guaranteed performance level. For best value and performance it is recommended that a 3 % line reactor be used whenever the source impedance is less than 1.5 %.
