RL-00202-MTE

Overview

The MTE Corporation RL-00202 is a line/load reactor designed for power quality improvement in variable frequency drive systems. It operates within a voltage range of 208 to 690 VAC and supports a current rating of 2 A. The unit provides an inductance of 20 mH at 60 Hz, with impedance options of 3% or 5%. It is compatible with motors ranging from 1/2 to 1-1/2 hp (0.33 to 75 hp). Constructed as an open chassis component, it weighs approximately 4 lbs (1.22 kg) and measures 10.01 x 8 x 10.01 cm.

Feature Summary

• Functions effectively on both the line side and load side without requiring derating.
• Reduces nuisance tripping and harmonic distortion in drive circuits.
• Robust construction designed for absorbing electrical transients.

Applications

• Variable frequency drive input protection
• Variable frequency drive output filtering
• Harmonic mitigation in industrial motor control

Procurement Notes

Verify that the required impedance matches your system needs, as the RL series offers both 3% and 5% options. Confirm the voltage class aligns with your 208-690 VAC supply. Ensure the physical dimensions fit your enclosure space, as this model uses an open chassis design rather than a pre-mounted unit.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a compact, open-chassis reactor is needed for low-current applications up to 2 A. It is suitable for environments where custom integration into existing panels is preferred over pre-assembled units. Consider the specific impedance requirement based on the desired level of harmonic reduction and fault current limiting.

Part Context

This component belongs to the MTE RL Series, which is recognized for providing power quality solutions in industrial automation. The series includes various ratings to support different horsepower ranges and voltage levels, offering a standardized approach to protecting drives from line disturbances and reducing emissions.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other MTE RL series models with matching 2 A and 20 mH specifications. Verify compatibility with existing mounting hardware and terminal configurations before replacing. Cross-referencing with generic industrial reactors requires careful validation of impedance and thermal ratings.
