Description of Peripheral Electrical Devices
Device Mounting Location Function Description
Breaker Power input side MCCB: Cut off power supply when overcurrent occurs on downstream devices
Leakage breaker: Provide protection against potentially leakage current during

Fuse AC drive input side Provide protection in case of short circuit.
Contactor Between breaker
and AC drive input
side
Switch ON/OFF the AC drive.
Do not start/stop the AC drive frequently by switching contactor ON/OFF (time
interval is at least one hour) nor use it to directly start the AC drive.
AC reactor AC drive input side Improve power factor of power input side.
Eliminate higher harmonics of the input side effectively and prevent other
devices from being damaged due to distortion of voltage waveform.
Eliminate input current unbalance due to inter-phase unbalance.
(0&¿OWHU AC drive input side Reduce external conduction and radiation interference of the AC drive.

Output
reactor
Between AC drive
output side and the
motor, close to the
AC drive
Output side of AC drive generally has much higher harmonics. When motor
is far from AC drive, there is much distributed capacitance in the circuit and
certain harmonics may cause resonance in the circuit, which will:
Degrade motor insulation performance and damage motor in long run.
Generate large leakage current and cause frequent AC drive protection trips.
If distance between AC drive and motor is greater than 100 m, install an AC
output reactor.

Select an appropriate motor.
Note

Do not install capacitor or surge suppressor on output side of AC drive. Otherwise, it may
damage the AC drive.
