Variable Speed Drives

TigerTek's expert application engineers can assist you with your toughest automation needs. We have years of experience in selecting and installing the best possible variable speed drive for your application.

If required, our in-house electronics repair technicians can provide after sale support to install the equipment and then to keep your equipment running smoothly.

TigerTek can give you cost-saving prices on ALL brands.

TigerTek is a distributor for Teco/Westinghouse, Baldor, and Leeson.

Reduced Voltage Starters are devices, which enable you to gradually accelerate an electric motor up to full speed. This reduces the in-rush current and gives you a nice smooth acceleration ramp. Solid-state starting provides smooth acceleration without the arcing, chattering, or vibration problems associated with conventional electromechanical motor starters.

Wear on moving parts such as belts, chains, gearboxes, and bearings is reduced, thereby limiting maintenance costs and production losses.

TigerTek is a master distributor for the following companies:

• Teco/Westinghouse
• WorldWide Electric
• MotorTronics

Line Reactors

Line reactors help protect your motor, or drive, from failure caused by poor incoming line power (they can be thought of like the surge protector for your desk-top PC).

Drives are susceptible to problems caused at their interface to the line or motor. Some of these issues include AC voltage waveform line notching or cross-talk, DC bus overvoltage trips, inverter overcurrent and overvoltage, and poor total power factor.

Three phase AC line reactors are intended for use as input filters for adjustable speed DC drives and as input or output filters for AC-PWM variable frequency drives. Drive performance is significantly improved, the drives input rectifier is protected from failure or damage, and drive harmonic demands are tamed. Line reactors act as interface buffers between solid state power circuits and the line or the motor. All drives, in any application, will benefit when applied with line reactors.

TigerTek can also provide:

• Harmonic trap filters
• Drive output filters
• Tuning reactors
• RFI filters
• Multi-pulse transformers

TigerTek is a master distributor for Trans-Coil line reactors.

Motor Protection

Motor protection products sense the power supplying a load, such as an electric motor, compressor motor or pump motor. If a problem is sensed with the supply power, which will damage the motor, then our protectors disconnect the motor before damage occurs to the windings.

Typical problems our products protect against are:

• High voltage
• Low voltage
• Voltage unbalance
• Single phasing
• Phase reversal
• Over current
• Current unbalance
• Clogged pipes (in pumping systems)
• Dry well (in pumping systems)

TigerTek's team of professionals is eager to assist with your application.
