3% Load Reactor

[DaveW]

Can somebody recommend a 3% load reactor for AB PowerFlex70 VFD's? Customer wants AB part but I have a hard time finding.
Thanks,
DW

The PowerFlex, or all AB PWM drives, can be ordered with a line reactor as part of the configuration but I am not sure about a Load Reactor. I suggest you call AB and speak to a drive specialist.

I don't recall ever coming across a load reactor on a drive.

Is this a requirement from either a "newbie" project engineer or a registered consulting engineer? Seems like a strange requirment, specially 3%.

We have line & load reactors on all of our drives, 5% line and 3% load.

I use these guys all the time - very professional and cost effective!
[Most drive manufacturers use them as well - they mark them up 100% and private label them!!].

I vote for transcoil as well.

I see that Automation Direct makes a decent number of line reactors as well.

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I understand a load reactor to be just a line reactor placed between the drive and the motor.

My company uses MTE all the time. Most often we do input for impedence matching.

Load reactors are almost a must when you have long cable runs and PWM drives.
