Overview

The WEG LRW008G3N1 is a 3% open-type line/load reactor designed for industrial power systems. This reactor mitigates harmonic distortion, protecting sensitive electronic components and ensuring smoother operation of variable frequency drives (VFDs) and motor control equipment. It reduces voltage fluctuations and transient overvoltages, extending machinery lifespan. The LRW008G3N1 functions as a line reactor to shield VFDs from line notching and voltage transients, or as a load reactor to protect VFDs from motor capacitance and decrease peak-to-peak voltage, reducing insulation stress and prolonging motor life. Its robust construction ensures durability in harsh industrial environments. SKU: LRW008G3N1. Manufacturer: WEG. Specifications: Motor HP: 5, Reactor Amps: 8, Dimensions (in.)
