MTE’s SineWave Nexus™ filter combines the performance of
a sinewave filter with our patented common mode protection
technology into a single passive device. The SineWave Nexus
not only cleans the PWM waveform generated by Variable
Frequency Drives (VFDs), it virtually eliminates common
mode voltage which causes motor bearing failures. By
filtering out the damaging common mode voltage, motor
bearings are never subject to those harmful voltages that
cause pitting, frosting, or fluting damage that leads to motor
failure.

Eliminate the need for costly isolation transformers, or
shaft grounging rings that require regular maintenance
and replacement, with the SineWave Nexus - an electrical
solution for an electrical problem.

The optimal solution for reducing common mode and
differential mode voltages and currents.

Differential and common mode power quality issues have
adverse affects on motors. SineWave Nexus™ filters
provide complete motor protection - for any application -

SineWave

at any cable length.

Nexus

Increase motor life by reducing high frequencies and peak

voltages caused by VFD output which result in excessive
motor heating and motor insulation stress.

Eliminate common mode voltages that cause pitting to

motor bearings and premature motor insulation failure
leading to unexpected downtime.

Save time and money associated with sourcing and

installing multiple solutions as the all-in-one design

combines the performance of a sinewave lter and

isolation transformer into one compact solution. The
SineWave Nexus also eliminates the need for costly VFD
cables.
