Items  Explanations 
Power supply
Please follow the specific power supply 
requirements in Appendix A. 
Fuse/NFB 
(optional) 
There may be an inrush current during power-
up. Please check the chart in Appendix B and 
select the correct fuse for the rated current. Use 
of an NFB is optional. 
Magnetic 
contactor 
(optional) 
Do not use a magnetic contactor as the I/O 
switch for the AC motor drive, as it will reduce 
the operating life of the AC drive. 
Input AC Line 
Reactor 
(optional) 
Use to improve the input power factor, reduce 
harmonics and provide protection from AC line 
disturbances (such as surges, switching spikes, 
short interruptions). Install an AC line reactor 
when the power supply capacity is 500 kVA or 
more, or advanced capacity is activated. The 
wiring distance should be 
 10m. Refer to 
Appendix B for details. 
Zero-phase 
Reactor 
(Ferrite Core 
Common 
Choke) 
(optional) 
Use zero phase reactors to reduce radio noise, 
especially when audio equipment is installed 
near the inverter. They are effective for noise 
reduction on both the input and output sides. 
Attenuation quality is good for 
the AM band to 10 MHz. Appendix B lists the 
specifications for zero-phase reactors 
(RF220X00A). 
EMI filter  Use to reduce electromagnetic interference.  
Output AC 
Line Reactor 
(optional) 
Motor surge voltage amplitude depends on 
motor cable length. For applications with long 
motor cable (>20 m), install a reactor at the 
inverter output side.
