Description
Product name:RL-04502 B&R Power module
Product details:
The MTE RL-04502 is part of MTE’s RL Series of line/load reactors. These are “best-in-class” power quality units known for their ruggedness and robust construction. They are designed to absorb power line disturbances that can damage or shut down sensitive equipment like VFDs.
Key Features:
- Line/Load Interchangeability: Can be used on both the line (input) side and load (output) side of a VFD or other equipment without derating.
- Harmonic Mitigation: Reduces line-side harmonic distortion, typically to 30-35%, helping to meet IEEE-519 requirements.
- VFD/Motor Protection: Reduces the dv/dt rate, motor peak terminal voltage, operating temperature, and audible noise on the load side, improving motor performance and system efficiency. It also protects VFDs from input power line disturbances.
- Low Watts Loss: Designed for energy efficiency.
- High Continuous Service Factor: Offers superior performance and durability, minimizing breakdowns.
- Robust Design: Built to withstand demanding industrial environments.

Product Advantages
- Enhanced System Reliability: Protects VFDs and other sensitive equipment from damaging power line disturbances.
- Improved Power Quality: Significantly reduces harmonic distortion on the input line, helping systems comply with power quality standards like IEEE-519.
- Extended Equipment Life: Reduces stress on motors and drives by minimizing dv/dt, peak voltage, and operating temperature, leading to longer lifespan and reduced maintenance.
- Reduced Nuisance Tripping: Mitigates issues that cause VFDs to trip, leading to more stable and continuous operation.
- Lower Audible Noise: Reduces the noise generated by motors, contributing to a quieter operating environment.
- Versatile Application: Can be used on both line and load sides, offering flexibility in system design.
- High Performance and Durability: MTE’s reputation for robust construction and high service factor ensures long-term, reliable operation.
Precautions
- High Voltage: These units operate at high voltages. Only qualified electricians should carry out installation, maintenance, and servicing.
- Discharge Time: Allow at least 5 minutes for drive capacitors to discharge to safe voltage levels (<50V) before servicing. Use a meter capable of measuring up to 1000V DC & AC RMS to confirm voltage levels.
- Wiring: Ensure all external wiring is rated for the highest system voltage.
- Thermal Sensors: If the motor contains thermal sensors, ensure they have at least basic insulation.
- Grounding: All exposed metalwork in the inverter (and likely the reactor) should be protected by basic insulation and bonded to a safety earth.
- RCDs: Residual Current Devices (RCDs) are generally not recommended with this product. If mandatory, only Type B RCDs should be used.
- EMC: In a domestic environment, this product may cause radio interference, requiring supplementary mitigation measures.
- ESD: Contains electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitive parts. Observe static control precautions during handling, installation, and servicing.
- Altitude/Temperature Derating: For altitudes above 1000 meters or ambient temperatures outside the specified range, consult the MTE documentation for potential derating requirements.
- Application Suitability: The suitability of a line/load reactor for a specific application must be ultimately determined by the customer, considering their system’s specific requirements.
Product Applications
The MTE RL-04502 line/load reactor is primarily used in industrial and commercial settings where power quality is critical, especially with the proliferation of electronic loads.
Common Applications Include:
- Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) / Adjustable Frequency Drives (AFDs):
- Line-Side (Input): To reduce harmonic distortion generated by the VFD and injected back into the power grid, protecting upstream equipment and meeting power quality standards (e.g., IEEE-519). Also absorbs incoming power line disturbances and transients that could damage the VFD.
- Load-Side (Output): To protect the motor from the harsh output waveform of the VFD, reducing dv/dt stress, motor peak terminal voltage, motor operating temperature, and audible noise, especially with long motor lead lengths.
- DC Drives: Similar to VFDs, to improve power quality and protect the drive.
- Power Electronic Equipment: Any application with rectifiers or other power conversion units that can generate harmonics or are sensitive to line disturbances.
- Industrial Machinery: Used in manufacturing, processing, and automation systems to ensure reliable operation of motors and controls.
- Commercial HVAC Systems: Improving efficiency and reliability of systems utilizing VFDs for motor control.
- Pump and Fan Applications: Where VFDs are used for energy savings and precise control.
