WARNING
High voltage is used in the operation of line/load reactors. Use Extreme caution to avoid contact with high
voltage when operating, installing or repairing equipment containing line/load reactors
INJURY OR DEATH MAY RESULT IF SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ARE NOT OBSERVED.
Line/load reactors are used in conjunction with inverters, or other electrical equipment that may feedback
lethal voltages. Follow the safety instructions in the equipment used with the reactor in addition to the
safety instruction in this manual.
WARNING
The opening of the branch circuit protective device may be an indication that a fault current has been
interrupted. To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, line/load reactors should be examined and
replaced if damaged.
WARNING
An upstream disconnect/protection device must be used as required by the National Electrical Code
(NEC).
WARNING
Even if the upstream disconnect/protection device is open, a drive or inverter down stream of the
line/load reactor may feed back high voltage to the reactor. The inverter or drive safety instructions
must be followed.
INJURY OR DEATH MAY RESULT IF THE DRIVE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ARE NOT
OBSERVED.
WARNING
The frame of line/load reactors must be grounded at least at one of the reactor’s mounting holes.
