Load Reac t or Spec
Each variable frequency drive must be equipped with an output reactor offering
no less than 4.5% effective impedance at rated motor amps (the fundamental
current). Output reactors must be IGBT protected to withstand spikes of 16,000
volts per microsecond. They must be high frequency compensated and suitable
for use with switching frequencies up to 20KHZ. They must be UL-506 and UL-
508 approved. Nema 1 enclosed units must be UL Listed. The continuous
current rating of the reactor must be equal to or greater than the rms output
current rating of the drive. Reactors must be copper wound with a UL class H
(180 C) insulation system. They should be suitable for an ambient temperature
of 45 C and a have a maximum temperature rise of 115 C. Their watts loss must
be less than 1% of the rated load. Box lug type terminals should be provided on
all reactors rated up to 400 amps. Higher current reactors may be supplied with
copper tab type terminals. Reactor should be MTE Corporation type RL series.
