Important User Information
NOTICE
MTE Series RL Line/Load Reactors are components designed to improve the reliability of
adjustable frequency drives, DC drives and a wide variety of other types of power
electronic equipment. In addition they provide limited input line current harmonic
mitigation and aid in long lead protection for inverter fed motors. Note: (See MTE
harmonic filters and motor protection products for guaranteed results.) MTE reactors are
available in a large number of current ratings and a variety of inductance values. The
suitability of a line/load reactor for a specific application must therefore be ultimately
determined by the customer. In no event will MTE Corporation assume responsibility or
liability for any direct or consequential damages resulting from the use or application of
reactors. Nor will MTE Corporation assume patent liability with respect to the use of
information, circuits orequipmentdescribedinthisinstructionmanual.
This manual includes recently redesigned performance enhanced reactors. These reactors are
physically smaller and weigh less than the reactors they replace. Enhanced reactors have base
mountingbrackets with additional slotted holes to accommodate past mounting hole centers. You

PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS (cont’d)
AUDIBLE NOISE: Guard-AC Line/Load Reactors offer low noise operation. Core and coil
construction, flux density control, harmonic compensation as well as our epoxy impregnation process
assure minimal audible noise radiation. Although our reactors are typically “quiet”, waveforms vary by
drive type and application and therefore reactor audible noise may vary by application. Noise levels may
be affected by type of motor and motor conductor as well as motor conductor length.
Typical audible noise levels for units selected from our catalog by HP rating are:
2 thru 12 amps 55 dBA
18 thru 100 amps 65 dBA
130 thru 400 amps 70 dBA
500 thru 1200 amps 75 dBA
Service Factor: Guard-AC reactors are compensated for the additional currents and high
frequencies caused by the presence of harmonics. The reactor fundamental current rating indicates the
typical full load motor current and is also the basis of impedance rating. Standard reactors rated 1 amps
thru 750 amps offer a full 1.5 service factor rating which allows them to carry overload current up to 150%
of their fundamental rating when applied as an input line reactor. Since the nameplate ratings of motor
drives (ASD) varies widely by manufacturer, this helps to assure that the reactor maximum current rating
is compatible with the nameplate current rating on the ASD. The service factor rating compensates for
ASD manufacturer variances in motor drive current ratings and for harmonic currents. Nominal
inductance is assured all the way up to the service factor current rating.
PWM / IGBT PROTECTION: Guard-AC reactors are protected against the high peak voltage and fast
rise time voltage pulses associated with PWM waveforms. The dielectric strength is 4000 volts rms and
Guard-AC reactors meet the ratings of an inverter duty motor (NEMA MG-1, part 31). For convenience,
they can be located either at the motor or at the drive.
HARMONIC ATTENUATION: Our unique harmonic compensation assures maximum circuit inductance
in the presence of complex waveforms and can be relied upon to minimize input total harmonic current
distortion (THID). Additionally it offers superior absorption of transient voltage spikes. Our standard
reactors will typically reduce 6-pulse rectifier input current harmonics to the following levels at full load
operating conditions:
3% reactor alone 45% or less THID
5% reactor alone 35% or less THID
3% AC reactor + 3% DC link choke 33% or less THID
5% AC reactor + 3% DC link choke 28% or less THID
(DC link choke inductance is equivalent ac impedance).

Power Wiring Connection
WARNING
Input and output power wiring to the
reactor should be performed by
authorized personnel in accordance
with the NEC and all local electrical
codes and
REGULATIONS
WARNING
Failure to connect reactors supplied
as a component part of a drive
system or other power electronic
system according to the system
interconnection diagram supplied by
the System Engineer will result in
equipment damage, injury, or death.
Verify that the power source to which the reactor
is to be connected is in agreement with the
nameplate data on the reactor. A fused
disconnect switch or circuit breaker should be
installed between the reactor and its source of
power in accordance with the requirements of
the NEC and all local electrical codes and
regulations. Refer to the drive, inverter, or other
electrical equipment user manual for selection of
the correct fuse rating and class.
The reactor is suitable for use on a circuit
capable of delivering not more than 65,000 rms
symmetrical amperes at 480 volts when
protected by Bussman type JJS, KTK, KTK-R,
SPP or T class fuses.
Reactor are designed for use with copper
conductors with a minimum temperature rating
of 75 degrees C. Table 2 lists the wire range and
terminal torque requirements for the power input
and output connections by reactor part number.
Refer to Figure 4 for typical electrical diagrams
describing the application of reactors in both line
and load applications. For reactors supplied as a
component part of a drive system or a
component part of power electronic apparatus
follow the interconnection diagram supplied by
the System Engineer.
WARNING
If a line reactor or a line reactor and a load
reactor are used with a drive equipped with a
bypass circuit, the reactors must be removed
from the motor circuit in the bypass mode.
Damage to the motor and other equipment will
result if this warning is not observed.
Grounding
A stud is provided on enclosed reactors for
grounding the enclosure. The enclosure must be
grounded. Open reactors must be grounded at
the designated grounding terminal or the reactor
mounting holes if no designated grounding
terminal is provided.
WARNING
The frame of line/load reactors must be
grounded at the designated grounding terminal
or one of the reactor mounting holes if no
designated grounding terminal is provided. The
enclosure of reactors supplied in enclosures
must be grounded.
INJURY OR DEATH MAY RESULT IF
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ARE NOT
OBSERVED.
Where desirable, a flexible conduit connection to
the reactor enclosure should be made to reduce
audible noise.
