Line-side power components
3.7 Line reactors
SINAMICS S120 Combi
Manual, 11/2017, 6SL3097-4AV00-0BP7
43
Line reactors for the S120 Combi limit low-frequency line harmonics to permissible values.
For this reason, line reactors should always be used.
Safety instructions for line reactors
Electric shock in the event of missing touch protection
The line reactors are protected according to IPXXA against accidental contact of the back
of the hand with live parts.
• Attach suitable covers if shock-hazard protection (IPXXB) is required.
Damage caused by line reactors which are not approved for the SINAMICS S120 Combi
The following can occur if line reactors are used that have not been approved for
SINAMICS S120 Combi by SIEMENS:
- The infeed in the S120 Combi may be damaged or destroyed.
- Line harmonics may occur that damage or destroy loads connected to the same line
supply.
• Only use line reactors which are listed in this Manual.
Damage due to high temperatures of line reactors
The surface temperature of the line reactors may exceed 80° C. This can lead to
temperature-related damage to adjacent components.
• It is absolutely essential that you maintain clearances according to the table Ventilation
clearances above and below the component (Page 294) around the reactor.
• If this clearance cannot be observed, additional measures such as shielding plates or a
cooling system must be provided.
