Function description 
Circuit 
breaker  
Front end of 
input circuit 
Disconnect the power supply when the equipment at the 
lower level is over current. 
 
Contactor  
Between the 
circuit breaker 
and the inverter 
input side 
Connection and disconnection of inverter. Frequent 
power-on and power-off operations (Not more than twice 
each minute) on the inverter or directly startup shall be 
avoided. 
 
AC input 
reactor  
Input side of the 
inverter 
˅  1) Improve the power factor of the input side;   
˅ Eliminate the higher harmonics of the input side 
effectively and prevent other equipment from 
damaging due to distortion of voltage wave.   
˅ Eliminate the input current unbalance due to 
unbalance between the power phases.   
EMC Input 
filter 
Input side of the 
inverter 
1˅ Reduce the external conduction and radiation 
interference of the inverter.   
2˅ Decrease the conduction interference flowing from 
the power end to the inverter and improve the 
anti-interference capacity of the inverter.   
DC reactor   
MD series 
inverter adopts   
DC reactor of 
more than 7.5kW 
as standard.   
˅  1) Improve the power factor of the input side;   
˅ Improve the whole efficiency and thermal stability 
of the inverter.   
˅ 3) Eliminate the impact of higher harmonics on the 
input side of the inverter and reduce the external 
conduction and radiation interference. 
 
AC output 
reactor  
Between the 
inverter output 
side and the 
motor.  close to 
the inverter 
The inverter output side generally has higher 
harmonics. When the motor is far from the inverter, since 
there are many distributed capacitors in the circuit,  
certain harmonics may cause resonance in the circuit and 
bring about the following two impacts:   
1˅ Degrade the motor insulation performance and 
damage the motor for the long run.   
2˅ Generate large leakage current and cause 
frequent inverter protection.   
In general, the distance between the inverter and the 
motor exceeds 100 meters. Installation of output AC 
reactor is recommended.
