◆ Connecting an AC Reactor or a DC Link Choke
■ Placement
When connecting to a power supply transformer with greater than 600 kVA capacity, or when switching a phase advance
capacitor, large peak current can flow through the input power supply circuit and damage converter components in the
drive.
As a preventive measure, install an AC reactor or a DC link choke to the input side of the drive. Installing an AC reactor
or a DC link choke will also help improve the power factor.
Install an AC reactor or a DC link choke if a DC drive or another type of thyristor converter is running from the same
power system, regardless of the power supply conditions shown in Figure 8.22.
Note: A DC link choke is built in to the drive models CIMR-LU20085 to 20415, 40045 to 40605, and 50032 to 50200.
