HEW™ Single Phase AC/DC Reactors: A Recommended Alternative
MPS Industries, Inc. introduces our HEW (Helical Edge Wound) Single Phase AC/DC Reactors, customized and optimized for your specific reactor needs. These reactors are a recommended alternative for amorphous/lamination core and copper foil wound reactors.
Highlights and Advantages to this Alternate Design Approach:
- Designed with distributed gap powder cores = minimum gap loss
- No concentrated hot spot on the winding due to fringing flux from the gap
- Soft saturation
- Low audible noise level
- Clean single layer HEW winding
- Single layer winding = better heat dissipation
- Machine-wound = less labor intensive, more cost effective
- Lower losses (for AC), proximity effect, and capacitance vs. copper foil counterpart
