Installation Precaution
Install the zero phase reactor at the drive’s output terminal (U/T1, V/T2, W/T3). After the zero phase
reactor is installed, it reduces the electromagnetic radiation and load stress emitted by the wiring of the
frequency converter. The number of zero phase reactors required for the drive depends on the wiring
length and the drive voltage.
The normal operating temperature of the zero phase reactor should be lower than 85°C (176°F).
However, when the zero phase reactor is saturated, its temperature may exceed 85°C (176°F). In this
case, increase the number of zero phase reactors to avoid saturation. The following are reasons that
might cause saturation of the zero phase reactors: the drive wiring is too long; the drive has several sets
of loads; the wiring is in parallel; or the drive uses high capacitance wiring. If the temperature of the zero
phase reactor exceeds 85°C (176°F) during the operation of the drive, increase the number of zero
phase reactors.
