HPS Centurion R Reactors

Hammond Centurion R Reactors

The new HPS Centurion R reactor provides a unique blend of improved performance and reliability while reducing the product footprint.  HPS Centurion R reactors deliver protection for your motors and drives.  They are available in standard ratings from 0.5 HP (373 Watts) to 1000 HP (745 kilowatts), up to 600 V (690 V with de-rating) and are fully compliant with UL, CSA, CE, IEC, and NEMA standards.  The efficient and cost effective HPS Centurion R reactors are built to address both line-side and load-side issues associated with demanding AC drive applications.

Why Choose a Reactor?

• Minimization of harmonic distortion
• Mitigation of nuisance tripping
• Reduced line notching
• Extended life of switching components and motors
• Reduced audible motor noise and motor operating temperature

HPS reactors are designed to address line-side issues associated with variable frequency drives. They attenuate voltage and current transients that can cause nuisance tripping of a drive. Reactors also minimize harmonic current levels within the drive supply circuit. When used on the output side of IGBT-based, PWM-type AC drives, HPS reactors reduce the motor operating temperature and audible noise by moderating line transients seen by the motor. The use of HPS reactors enhances the overall system performance, life expectancy, and efficiency of the motor.

Choose 3% impedance reactors to satisfy most solid state applications in North America. Reactors rated for 3% impedance are ideal for absorbing normal line spikes and motor current surges, and will prevent most nuisance line tripping of circuit protection devices or equipment. Where considerably higher line disturbances are present, a 5% impedance reactor may be required.
