2008520 ensp 0183 enspisolation transformers vs line reactors Thread starter mull982 Start date May 20 2008 Status the harmonic voltage distortion of the reactor fed drives cancels out with the harmonic voltage distortion of the isolation transformer to give a much less distorted waveform If your common bus is close to the drives this is most effective but
Difference between Isolation Transformers and Autotransformers Isolation Transformer Transformers with primary input and secondary output windings separated from each other are known as isolation transformers Under this construction the input power and the output power are electrically separated by an dielectric insulation barrier
However there are major differences between the two While a Power Transformer is designed for efficient power transfer from one voltage system to another a shunt reactor is intended only to consume reactive VArs or in other words it can be stated as to produce lagging VArs
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 derating and are fully compliant with UL CSA CE IEC and NEMA standards
While line reactor provides many of the benefits of isolation transformer in a drive application there are some key differences as well Drive Isolation Transformer Sizing Drive isolation transformer can be selected by consulting with the drive manufacturer
A line reactor can also filter out pulsed and notched distortion which can minimize interference with other electronic equipment like computers PLCs telecommuniions systems instrumentation and other VFDs The use of line and load reactors increases the reliability performance and efficiency of VFD systems extends the life of both
Reactors and inductors Depending on the load pattern of the line and the balance of reactive power the ABB reactor is suitable for continuous as well as switched operation The reactor design is based on the gapped core concept which gives a compact design with low losses and low total mass The concept was introduced in the mid nineteen

For this reason a reactor at the input to the drive may be of some help A reactor does not fix grounding issues nor does it provide isolation While a reactor provides some buffering it does not provide isolation and cannot take the place of an isolation transformer Use an AC Line Reactor
2016614 ensp 0183 enspA reactor does not fix grounding issues nor does it provide isolation Keep in mind that while a reactor provides some buffering it does not provide isolation and can not take the place of an isolation transformer If isolation is needed an isolation transformer must be used Contact your distributor for an appropriately sized transformer
The isolation transformer is a transformer used to transfer electrical power from a source of alternating current AC power to some equipment or device while isolating the powered device from the power source usually for safety reasons Also an Isolation Transformer is a device which is use to decouple two circuit the load to the Isolation Transformer and to the input supply
Eliminates drive isolation transformer or line reactor failure due to overheating and skin effect If applying a filter attheload downstream of the isolation transformer or line reactor then harmonics are not drawn through these devices This eliminates extra current at higher frequencies flowing through these
