Output Reactor

Dufew Electric Output Reactor is designed for installation between variable frequency drives (VFDs) and motors to reduce PWM voltage pulse impact, limit dv/dt stress, compensate cable distributed capacitance effects, and protect motor insulation in long-distance transmission applications. With rated voltage from 220VAC to 1140VAC and current range from 5A to 3800A, Dufew provides customized reactor solutions for industrial automation, heavy-duty equipment, renewable energy systems, and motor drive applications.

Dufew Electric Output Reactor is installed between the VFD output terminals and motor to improve power transmission quality and protect motor systems from high-frequency switching stress.

The rapid switching characteristics of PWM output voltage from VFDs may generate high dv/dt stress, reflected voltage waves, harmonic currents, and additional cable charging current. These effects become more serious when long cables are used between the inverter and motor.

By adding proper impedance to the output circuit, the reactor helps smooth voltage waveforms, reduce motor terminal voltage spikes, lower insulation stress, and improve the reliability of industrial drive systems.

Dufew reactors use low-loss silicon steel cores, high-temperature insulation materials, and optimized winding structures to ensure stable performance under continuous industrial operation.

Why Industrial Systems Need an Output Reactor?

Solve Long Cable Overcurrent Problems

When the cable between the inverter and motor is too long, the distributed capacitance of the cable generates additional charging current.

Without proper protection, this may cause:

- VFD overcurrent alarms

- Unstable motor operation

- Increased inverter output stress

- Reduced system reliability

The VFD Output Reactor reduces capacitive charging current and improves system stability, especially for applications where the motor is installed far away from the inverter cabinet.

Key Advantages

1. Motor Insulation Protection

The reactor reduces the impact of high-frequency PWM voltage changes generated by the VFD, helping protect motor insulation during continuous operation.

It lowers voltage stress on motor windings, reduces insulation aging, and extends motor service life. This helps improve overall system reliability, especially in demanding industrial applications.

2. Improved Long Cable Performance

When motors are installed far from VFD cabinets, long cables can increase charging current and cause reflected voltage effects.

The reactor helps reduce these impacts by improving current waveform quality and limiting voltage fluctuations. It supports longer cable transmission distances while maintaining stable motor operation.

3. Reduced Noise and Electromagnetic Interference

The optimized inductive design helps suppress high-frequency harmonic components generated during VFD operation.

It also reduces motor electromagnetic noise, leakage current, and potential interference with nearby automation and control equipment, creating a more stable operating environment.

4. Reliable Industrial Construction

The reactor is manufactured with a cold rolled silicon steel core, Class F insulation system, vacuum impregnation process, and copper or aluminum winding options.

This robust construction ensures stable inductance, reduced vibration, and reliable thermal performance for long-term industrial operation.

Structural Features

Three-Phase Magnetic Balance Design

The symmetrical three-phase core structure provides balanced magnetic performance across all windings.

It helps reduce magnetic losses while maintaining stable inductance characteristics, ensuring consistent electrical performance during VFD operation.

Flexible Installation Options

The reactor is available in different configurations, including IP00 open structures and IP20 protection enclosures, to meet various installation requirements.

It supports both vertical and horizontal installation methods. Customized dimensions are available to match cabinet space, mounting conditions, and specific application needs.
