Input and output reactors for variable frequency drive (VFD) systems are designed to protect VFDs and speed controllers. During operation, these devices are often exposed to surge currents and surge voltages, which can reduce performance and shorten lifespan. Installing an input reactor at the input side effectively suppresses surge voltages and currents, ensuring safe and stable operation of the equipment.
I. Overview
Input and output reactors for variable frequency drive (VFD) systems are designed to protect VFDs and speed controllers. During operation, these devices often face surge currents and surge voltages, which can significantly damage performance and shorten lifespan. Installing an input reactor at the input side suppresses surge voltage and current, protects the VFD or speed controller, extends its service life, and mitigates harmonic interference.
Since VFDs regulate speed through variable frequency, high-order harmonics and waveform distortions may occur during operation, affecting normal performance. An output reactor at the output side filters harmonic voltage and current, improving power quality. Our input/output reactor series are manufactured using high-quality silicon steel sheets with specialized processes, offering compact size, low temperature rise, and noiseless operation.
These reactors are compatible with a wide range of VFD brands including Siemens, SanKen, Hitachi, Toshiba, Panasonic, Yaskawa, Inovance, Danfoss, Fuji, Eurotherm, LG, OMRON, Hyundai, Schneider, Lenze, Emerson, Conver, and more.
