General Safety Instructions

High Voltage! Only a qualified electrician can carry out the electrical
installation of this filter.
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 line/load reactors. Injury or death may result if safety
precautions are not observed.
WARNING
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 instructions
in this manual.
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.
An upstream disconnect/protection device must be used as required by the

National Electrical Code (NEC) or governing authority.
Even if the upstream disconnect/protection device is open, the drive

downstream of the line/load reactor may feedback high voltage to the
WARNING reactor. The drive safety instructions must be followed. Injury or death
may result if safety precautions are not observed.
Line/load reactors must be grounded with a grounding conductor

connected to all grounding terminals. Open panel reactors must have a
2”x2” area cleaned of paint and varnish on the lower mounting bracket.
Only spare parts obtained from MTE Corporation or an authorized MTE

distributor can be used.
Loose or improperly secured connections may damage or degrade reactor

performance. Visually inspect and secure all electrical connections before
power is applied to the filter.
The user of this reactor must assure that the input voltage and frequency
is correct for the reactor rating and that the voltage applied falls within the
rated operating tolerance envelop specified for the reactor. For severe
power line applications where the power feed is likely to experience surges
Caution and transients that exceed the input voltage rating, it is recommended that
a TVSS (Transient Voltage Surge Suppression) or SPD (Surge Protection
Device) be deployed ahead of the reactor to reduce the possibility of
exceeding the reactor’s rated voltage. Consult with TVSS or SPD
manufacturer to determine the correct protection requirements for your
power line conditions.

UL508A SB4.2.1 effective 4/25/06.

Audible Noise
RL 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
Service Factor
RL Line/Load 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

RL Line/Load 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 RL
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).

4. HOW TO SELECT
Selection Guide
MTE RL Line/Load Reactors are optimized to support global IEC and NEC Drive /motor
applications. RL’s are RMS current rated impedance devices. Selection is based on the choice
of inductance correlated to the application motor full load amps, voltage and frequency and the
number of phases. Use the product selection brochure based on input voltage and NEC FLA
motor selection table for common voltages. For critical impedance selection based on specific
HP or load currents, consult MTE applications engineering.
Choose the impedance level:
3% Reactors rated at 3% are typically sufficient to absorb line spikes and motor current
surges, and help prevent nuisance tripping to the drive and circuit breakers in most
applications. 3% is typically specified by most drive manufacturers.
5% Reactors rated at 5% are best for reducing harmonic current and frequencies. Use
them when you must reduce VFD drive generated harmonics, and to reduce motor
operating temperature.
Single Phase Applications:

RL reactors may also be sized to protect single phase drives. Please see MTE Application
Note: How to Use a 3-Phase Line Reactor for a Single-Phase Application for details.
NOTE: For inverters feeding isolation transformers select a reactor with a current rating
equal to or greater than that of the transformer primary current.
Please verify information below for proper selection:

5. HOW TO INSTALL
Installation Checklist
Prior to installation, please refer to all general warnings on pages 1 & 2. Failure
to practice this can result in bodily injury!
WARNING Input and output wiring to the reactor should be performed by authorized
personnel in accordance with NEC and all local electrical codes and regulations.
The reactor is designed for use with copper conductors with a minimum
temperature rating of 75 degrees C.
MTE NEMA 1 enclosures designed for floor mounting must be mounted with
WARNING the enclosure base horizontal for proper ventilation. Wall mounting a floor
mounted enclosure with the base against the wall will cause the reactor to
overheat resulting in equipment damage.
RL Line/Load Reactors are supplied in the following configurations:

• Open Reactors: These reactors are designed for mounting within an appropriate electrical
equipment enclosure.
• NEMA 1/2 & 3R general purpose cabinets: Reactors are supplied in a wall mounted or
floor mounted cabinet.
Open Reactors Installation Guidelines:
Reactors rated 300 amperes RMS and under are designed for mounting in both a vertical and
horizontal position. Larger reactors must be mounted in a horizontal position typically on the floor
of the enclosure. Include the power dissipation of the reactor along with all the other components
located in the enclosure to determine the internal temperature rise and cooling requirements of
the enclosure. Reactors may be located in any region of the enclosure where the ambient
temperature does not exceed 45 degrees C. A general guideline is to allow a side clearance of
four (4) inches and a vertical clearance of six (6) inches for proper heat dissipation and access
within the enclosure. Clearances may be less if proper ventilation exists. Reactors must operate
within temperatures specified in this manual or operating life will be compromised. Also, be aware
of minimum electrical clearances as defined by the appropriate system safety standard(s).
NEMA 1/2 & 3R Installation Guidelines:
MTE line/load reactors mounted in CAB-8 and CAB-13V enclosures are designed for wall
mounting. All other enclosures are designed for floor mounting. Allow a minimum side, front, and
back clearances of twelve (12) inches and vertical clearances of eighteen (18) inches for
proper heat dissipation and access.
General Installation Guidelines:
Select a well ventilated, dust-free area away from direct sunlight, rain or moisture. Do not install
in or near a corrosive environment. Avoid locations where the reactor will be subjected to
excessive vibrations. Do not locate the reactor next to resistors or any other component with
operating surface temperatures above 125 degree C.

Grounding
The reactor must always be grounded with a grounding conductor connected to
ground terminals.
WARNING For open reactors, ensure a 2” x 2” area is cleaned of paint and varnish on
lower mounting bracket for ground connection.
NOTE: For cable shield grounding follow the drive manufacturer’s recommendations.
Grounding and Ground Fault Protection
Due to high leakage currents associated with variable frequency drives, ground fault protective
devices do not necessarily operate correctly when placed ahead of a RL Line/Load Reactor
feeding a drive. When using this type of device, its function should be tested in the actual
installation.
Open reactors must be grounded at the designated grounding terminal or the reactor mounting
holes if no designated grounding terminal is provided.
A stud is provided on enclosed reactors for grounding the enclosure. The enclosure must be
grounded.

Power Wiring Connection
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.
Cable lugs and mounting hardware are provided by the customer.
WARNING
Any extremely low or high resistance readings indicate a mis-wire and may
result in damage to reactor if not corrected.
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 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 5-1: RL Reactors Torque Ratings (p40) lists the wire range and terminal torque
requirements for the power input and output connections by reactor part number.
Refer to Figures 5-1 – 5-4 on page 39 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.
Where desirable, a flexible conduit connection to the reactor enclosure should be made to
reduce audible noise.
