Finding the correct MTE product shouldn’t feel like solving a puzzle. At Vanco, we know how frustrating it can be to juggle voltage specs, enclosure types, and part numbers while racing against project deadlines. That’s why we built the MTE Instant Lookup Tool, a streamlined, intuitive solution designed to cut through the clutter and deliver exactly what you need in seconds.
Let’s break down how it works, step by step.
The Problem: Why Product Selection Used to Be a Headache
MTE products like reactors and harmonic filters are critical for industrial applications, but their specifications can be overwhelming. With variables like voltage, horsepower, enclosure types, and impedance percentages, even seasoned engineers often waste hours digging through catalogs or double-checking part numbers. Mistakes are costly. Ordering the wrong product delays projects and strains budgets.
Our goal? Turn a 30-minute search into a 30-second solution.
How the MTE Instant Lookup Tool Works: A No-Nonsense Guide
Step 1: Start with the Basics – Line Side or Load Side?
The tool opens with a straightforward question: “What are you looking for?” You’ll see two options:
- Line Side (products protecting equipment from power supply disturbances)
- Load Side (products managing harmonics and reactive power from motor drives)
Not sure which applies to your project? No problem. A curated list of FAQs at the bottom of the page clarifies common use cases.
Step 2: Narrow It Down – Product Category
Let’s say you select Line Side. The next screen asks you to choose between Reactors or Harmonic Filters.
For this example, we’ll pick Reactors. The tool then drills deeper, offering options like RL or RLW. This step ensures you’re guided to the right product family based on your application.
Step 3: Specify Your Voltage Requirements
Once you’ve selected a reactor type, the tool prompts you to choose your voltage: 208V, 480V, or 600V. This isn’t just a dropdown menu, it’s a gatekeeper that instantly filters out incompatible products, so you only see what’s relevant.
Step 4: Refine with Enclosure Type, Horsepower & Impedance
Here’s where the magic happens. After selecting voltage, a dynamic table appears, listing all part numbers that match your criteria. You can filter results by:
- Enclosure Type: Open, NEMA 1/2, or NEMA 3R
- Horsepower: Ranging from 1 HP to 500 HP
- Impedance Percentage: Options of 3% and 5%
The table updates in real time, so there’s no waiting.
Bonus Features: Search, Download, and Done
- Search by Part Number: Already know what you need? Type it into the search bar to jump straight to the specs.
- One-Click Downloads: Click any part number, and the tool automatically downloads the product’s technical drawings. No more hunting through folders or emailing sales teams.
