Isolation Transformers, Line Reactors & Filters

It is strongly recommended that each three phase drive is installed with either a Line Reactor or a Drive Isolating Transformer connected into the main power supply. The purpose of this is to ensure a defined line impedance thereby reducing both the level of SCR induced “notching” on the supply and the total radiated electromagnetic RF noise. In most industrial systems the choice of line reactor or transformer will depend on other considerations such as the need for isolation to provide added system safety. In many instances, it will also be necessary to install a 3-phase Power Suppression Unit to reduce the effects of drive induced transients on the line.

LF3 3-Phase Line Filter

LF3 Line Filter

This unit is a 3-phase Rectifier/Resistor/Capacitor network designed to reduce the drive induced switching transients on the power supply.

In general, one LF3 Line Filter can be used with multiple drives to ensure that the power quality is satisfactory if the cumulative total horsepower is less than 150 hp (ie. one 150hp drive, two 75hp drives, etc.) Please call for further information.

  • Rating: 3-phase, 500 volts maximum, 50/60Hz.
  • Dimensions: 7″H x 5″W x 3″D (180x125x75 mm)

Power Quality Note

To assess power quality, examine the three phases with an oscilloscope under worst case motor load conditions. Drive switching transients must never exceed an instantaneous max. voltage of 1.25 x the normal phase peak volts (1000 volts absolute maximum). If this is exceeded, a Line Filter (part no. LF3) will be required. Multiple units can be added to the 3-phase power lines to ensure that the power quality is satisfactory.

Warning! be sure to use an isolated probe with the oscilloscope

when working at high voltage!
