The Industry’s First 3-In-1 Protection dV/dt Filter
Industry innovation at its best, the dV Sentry Motor Protection Filter from MTE Corporation helps protect AC motors from the damaging effects of long lead voltages that can destroy Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs), motors and cables. Not only does it offer more efficiency and greater productivity, the dV Sentry Motor Protection Filter also affords unique 3-in-1 protection against peak voltage, high rise times and common mode voltage reduction. This 3-in-1 protection makes the filter suitable for all the demands of industrial equipment providing better protection over a prolonged period of time.
Peak Voltage Protection and High Rise Production
The peak rise protection of the filter stops dangerous voltage peaks in cable leads up to approximately 1,000 feet reducing overheating and bearing damage. Before the creation of the dV Sentry Motor Protection Filter, dV/dt filters only guarded against power distortion established over long lead voltage lengths between VFDs, cables and motors.
A Reduction in Common Mode Voltage
The dV/dt filter is extremely effective as it reduces common mode voltage by over 50%, which lessens the damage to bearings, motor insulation and ground fault trips, and unusual behaviour of VFDs and Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). In an industry first, the dV Sentry Motor Protection Filter results in a longer motor life and higher efficiency.
Benefits of the dV/dt Filter
Designed for harsh environment operations, the dV Sentry Motor Protection Filter has the ability to operate in -40 to 60 degree conditions and is suitable for any environment due to its low noise level and small compact design. The dV/dt filter generates a low heat watt loss that will ensure an increased life and greater production for the equipment surrounding the filter and is created to radiate less than other filters on the market. The filter also features a small footprint and easy terminations to make installation faster and easier.
