Line Reactor: Three-Phase Electric Power Variable-Frequency Drives

A line reactor is an inductor installed between a power source and load that limits current spikes and reduces harmonic currents. It consists of isolated inductors wired in series with each phase of three-phase power. Line reactors are commonly used to limit starting current for motor-driven equipment and protect variable frequency drives and motors from current fluctuations.

Line reactor[edit]

A line reactor is an inductor wired between a power source and a load. In addition to the current
limiting function, the device serves to filter out spikes of current

[7]

and may also reduce injection of

harmonic currents into the power supply. The most common type is designed for three-phase electric
power, in which three isolated inductors are each wired in series with one of the three line phases.
[8]

Line reactors are generally installed in motor driven equipment to limit starting current, and may be

used to protect Variable-frequency drives and motors.:[9])
