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 or equipment described in this instruction manual.
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
mounting brackets with additional slotted holes to accommodate past mounting hole centers. You
may uses your existing drill pattern or choose the new layout. The tables contained in this manual
reflect historical mounting dimensions for previous reactors.

User Manual
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
18 thru 100 amps
130 thru 400 amps
500 thru 1200 amps
55 dBA
65 dBA
70 dBA
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
5% reactor alone
3% AC reactor + 3% DC link choke
5% AC reactor + 3% DC link choke
(DC link choke inductance is equivalent ac impedance).

MTE AC Line / Load Reactors
User Manual
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Open Line/Load Reactor Installation
NEMA 1 Line/Load Reactor Installation
MTE line/load reactors are available in open
construction and in NEMA 1 enclosures.
Open reactors are designed for mounting within
an appropriate electrical equipment
enclosure. 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.
Top conduit entry recommended for
NEMA 1 enclosed reactors.
MTE line/load reactors mounted in enclosures
with part number, CAB-8, are designed for
wall mounting. All other enclosures are
designed for floor mounting.
WARNING
Reactors may be located in any region of the
enclosure where the ambient temperature
does not exceed 45 degrees C. Allow a minimum
side clearances of four (4) inches and vertical
clearances of six (6) inches for proper heat
dissipation and access. Do not locate the
reactor next to resistors or any other component
with operating surface temperatures above 125
degree C.
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.
MTE NEMA 1 enclosures designed for floor
mounting must be mounted with the
enclosure base horizontal for proper
ventilation. Wall mounting a floor
mounted enclosure with the base against
the wall will cause the reactor to over heat
resulting in equipment damage.
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. Do not locate the
enclosure next to resistors or any other
component with operating surface temperatures
above 125 degree C.
Select a well ventilated, dust-free area away
from direct sunlight, rain or moisture
where the ambient temperature does not
exceed 40 degrees C.
Do not install in or near a corrosive environment.
Avoid locations where the reactor will be
subjected to excessive vibrations.
Where desirable, enclosures may be mounted
on vibration isolating pads to reduce audible
noise. Standard vibration control pads made
from neoprene or natural rubber and
selected for the weight of the enclosed reactor
are effective. Using flexible conduit is also
helpful in abatement of audible noise.

User Manual
Power Wiring Connection
WARNING
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
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.
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.
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.
