    Input Reac t or Spec

    Each variable frequency drive must be equipped with an input reactor offering noless than 4.5% effective impedance at rated motor amps (the fundamental

    current). They must be harmonic compensated and be UL-506 and UL-508approved. Nema 1 enclosed units must be UL Listed. The continuous currentrating of the reactor must be equal to or greater than the rms input current ratingof the drive. Reactors must be copper wound with a UL class H (180 C)insulation system. They must be suitable for an ambient temperature of 45 Cand a have a maximum temperature rise of 115 C. Their watts loss must be lessthan 1% of the rated load. Box lug type terminals must be provided on all

    reactors rated from 2 amps thru 400 amps.Higher current reactors may besupplied with copper tab type terminals. Reactor must be MTE Corporation typeRL series.

    Pow er Fac t or Cor rec t ion Capac i t o r De-Tuning Reac t or Spec i f ic at ion

    Each Power Factor Correction Capacitor Bank must be equipped with a seriesconnected de-tuning reactor to prevent importation of harmonics. They must be

    UL-506 and UL-508 approved. Nema 1 enclosed units must be UL Listed. Thereactor must be rated to handle 110% of the capacitor fundamental currentcontinuously to compensate for capacitor tolerance and aging. It must also berated to handle fifth harmonic current of a magnitude equal to 15% of thecapacitor fundamental current rating. The nameplate must indicate the ratedfundamental and harmonic currents and frequencies. Reactors must be copperwound with a UL class H (180 C) insulation system. They must be suitable for an

    ambient temperature of 40 C and a have a maximum temperature rise of 100C.When applied in an ambient of 25C their temperature rise must be only 80C.Their watts loss must be less than 1% of the capacitor KVAR rating. Box lugtype terminals are acceptable on all reactors rated up to 50 amps. Reactors ratedhigher than 50 Amps must be supplied with copper tab type terminals. Reactormust be MTE Cor oration t e RL series.
