Overview

The TCI KDRL5H is a 480V, 3-phase line inductor specifically engineered for variable frequency drive (VFD) input protection. This high impedance reactor is rated for a continuous current of 540A and is suitable for motors up to 450HP. Its primary function is to mitigate harmonic distortion generated by VFDs, thereby protecting the drive from damaging voltage spikes and surges. By reducing these harmonics, the KDRL5H assists in meeting stringent IEEE-519 harmonic distortion requirements, particularly in applications utilizing multiple VFDs. Manufactured in the USA and UL Listed, the KDR series, including the KDRL5H, is recommended for the input of each VFD. This proactive measure enhances overall system reliability, extends the operational lifespan of motors, and ensures more stable drive performance. The KDRL5H is a crucial component for industrial applications demanding robust VFD protection and compliance with harmonic standards.
