MTE Capacitors
MTE capacitors are engineered for industrial power quality applications where system reliability, electrical stability, and equipment protection are critical. Commonly used in conjunction with variable frequency drives (VFDs), motors, and power distribution systems, these capacitors help manage harmonics, reduce electrical noise, and protect sensitive components from voltage spikes and transients. Their robust construction supports consistent performance in demanding operating environments.
In VFD applications, MTE capacitors are integral components in dv/dt filters, sine wave filters, and other output filtering solutions. Working together with inductive elements, these capacitors reduce voltage rise times and suppress high-frequency harmonics generated by drive switching. This minimizes motor insulation stress, reduces audible noise, lowers heat buildup, and helps extend motor and drive service life, especially in long cable runs or critical processes.
MTE capacitors are also used in power factor correction and power conditioning systems to improve electrical efficiency and overall system stability. By smoothing electrical waveforms and absorbing transient energy, they help reduce stress on upstream equipment and contribute to improved performance across industrial applications such as HVAC systems, water and wastewater treatment, manufacturing operations, and material handling systems.
