Guardian

Product Selector

For motor protection, there is nothing better.

Increases motor life

Easy to integrate, install and service

Operates in high ambient temperatures

High performance and reliability

Three-year warranty

Motor protection and power quality don’t have to be a mystery. MTE makes it easy. Case in point: our SineWave Guardian™ Filter. This best-in-class filter delivers unequaled performance in cleaning the PWM waveforms generated by Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs). It virtually eliminates high frequency content and voltage peaks, thereby reducing motor heating to give you extended motor life – and less downtime. The SineWave Guardian also offers incredible reliability and durability. It is more efficient and tolerates higher ambient temperatures, making it ideal for a variety of applications from steel mills to oil fields. Its modular design and smaller footprint make it easier to integrate and install. It all adds up to the best SineWave Filter, and the best value on the market today.

Improve efficiency, improve motor life, and improve your

™

bottom line with our new SineWave Guardian

SineWave Guardian™ Filters transform the output of Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) to a near perfect sinusoidal waveform for the best level of motor protection. MTE’s unique, patent-pending design offers high performance with smaller size and better efficiency than traditional LC Filters.

.

SineWave Guardian

™

Increase motor life: Reduce motor heating through reduction of high frequencies associated with VFD output and also reduce motor insulation stress through reduction of motor peak voltages.

Reduce motor audible noise: Reduce audible noise through reducing high frequencies associated with VFD output.

Reduce radiated emissions: Reduce emissions through reducing high frequencies associated with VFD output.

Protect your motor cable: The reduction of high frequencies associated with VFD output eliminates the need for special motor cables.

With SineWave GuardianWithout SineWave Guardian

The SineWave Guardian is a SineWave Filter which protects motors from damage by “cleaning” the sine wave waveform that is generated by the Variable Frequency Drive.

How to properly size your filter

• Reference motor nameplate to determine motor HP or KW and Full Load Amps

• Verify motor meets inverter duty standards per NEMA MG1 Section 31

• Select filter based on Motor Full Load Amps

Do not exceed filter’s maximum

current rating (amps)

• Specify enclosure style Open (No enclosure) NEMA 1/2 (General Purpose Enclosure) NEMA 3R (Outdoor Enclosure)

The power quality experts.

MTE Corporation was formed in 1982 by bringing together Milwaukee Transformer Co., Transformer Design Inc., and Milwaukee Electronics Corp. – companies that specialized in different fields of magnetics and transformer designs and were long established in their respective fields. MTE vaulted into a leadership role in power quality with its unique AC reactor design and passive filter expertise. We continued to grow as a global leader with innovative Harmonic Filters, Motor Protection Filters and Sinewave Filters.

Now with the addition of TEAL Electronics in 2016, MTE brings a continuum of power quality solutions unmatched in the industry. Building on TEAL’s reputation of high-efficiency transformers and durable power conditioning and distribution units for demanding applications, MTE is building the best power quality company by capitalizing on the individual strength of each while bringing a new dimension in management, marketing, and quality.

Our team of professional design engineers has well over 100 years of collective experience in the industry and is complemented by as much experience in operations. Our engineers utilize state-of-theart platforms and best-in-class simulation/modeling tools so that new designs meet your needs and the latest compliance standards while improving your bottom line.

At MTE, we know power quality because power quality is all we do.
