7-4  AC / DC Reactor 
AC Input Reactor 
Installing an AC reactor on the input side of an AC motor drive can increase line impedance, improve 
the power factor, reduce input current, increase system capacity, and reduce interference generated from 
the motor drive. It also reduces momentary voltage surges or abnormal current spikes from the mains 
power, further protecting the drive. For example, when the main power capacity is higher than 500 kVA, or 
when using a phase-compensation capacitor, momentary voltage and current spikes may damage the AC 
motor drive’s internal circuit. An AC reactor on the input side of the AC motor drive protects it by 
suppressing surges. 
Installation 
Install an AC input reactor in series between the main power and the three input phases R S T, as 
shown in the figure below:
