A-4 Reactor 
Installing an AC reactor on the input side of a hybrid servo drive can increase line impedance, improve the 
power factor, reduce input current, and reduce interference generated from the hybrid servo drive. It also 
reduces momentary voltage surges or abnormal current spikes. For example, when the main power 
capacity is higher than 500 kVA, or when using a switching capacitor bank, momentary voltage and current 
spikes may damage the hybrid servo drive’s internal circuit. An AC reactor on the input side of the hybrid 
servo drive protects it by suppressing surges. 
Installation: 
As shown in the image below, an AC input reactor is installed between the mains power inputs and the R S 
T input terminals on the hybrid servo drive.
