Overview

The TCI MotorGuard KMG65A01P is a 3-phase sinewave output filter designed to protect AC induction motors from damage caused by PWM power supplies and VFDs. Rated for 480V and 65A continuous current, this UL Listed filter converts PWM square wave output to a near sinusoidal waveform. This eliminates voltage wave reflection and torque ripple, reducing motor noise, vibration, and heat while increasing motor life and reliability. The KMG65A01P features PQconnect technology for integration with power quality monitoring systems, offering Modbus RTU communications and real-time performance data. Its open panel design simplifies installation and maintenance in industrial environments. Typical applications include conveyors, blowers, pumps, fans, test stands, and HVAC systems. The filter is manufactured in Germany and carries a UNSPSC code of 39121000.
