AC Reactor Specifications
Reactors, both as input (line) and output (load) devices, protect adjustable frequency drives, motors,
and other load devices against excessive voltage and current.
The following guidelines may help determine input and output reactor requirements:
• Install an input reactor if the power source is greater than 500kVA.
• Ensure that the drive-to-motor wiring distance is less than 150 ft. unless appropriate reactors,
filters, and/or Inverter Duty motor is used.
• Install an output reactor if a device, such as a power limit switch, is used to disconnect the motor
from the drive.
• Install one output reactor per drive for a multiple-drive arrangement requiring reactor protection.
• For a multiple-drive arrangement, an input reactor for each drive is recommended for optimal
protection. However, if the drives are within two drive sizes of each other, a single input reactor
can be used. The reactor must be rated at amperage equal to or greater than the sum of the
amperage for all the drives.
