Line Reactor - Load Reactor

A line reactor is an inductor wired between a power source and a load. In addition to the current limiting function, the line reactor serves to filter out spikes of current and may also reduce injection of harmonic currents into the power supply.

For harmonic reduction purposes, our design typically applies 5% impedance line reactors to the input of motor drives. This reduces input harmonics to 35% total harmonic current distortion (THID) or less and minimizes the effects of harmonics on motors and other devices powered off the same electrical system.

Badger Magnetics’ Line Reactors / Load Reactors are a state-of–the art solution for absorbing everyday power line disturbances that can damage or shut down variable frequency drives (VFDs) and other sensitive equipment.

They work on both the line side and load side to give you an economical way to reduce nuisance tripping, reduce harmonic distortion and minimize long lead effects. The line reactor design also reduces audible noise, and improves structural and moisture integrity.

Put an end to power spike issues and minimize downtime with our RLW Line/Load Reactors.
