Improve the Power Factor

AC reactors and DC link chokes decrease surges in current and improve the power factor on the input side of the

Connect an AC reactor or a DC link choke the input side (primary side) in the these conditions:

• To decrease harmonic current or improve the power factor of the power supply

• When there is switching of phase advancing capacitor

• With a large capacity power supply transformer (600 kVA or more).

• You can use an AC reactor and DC link choke together.

• When you connect a thyristor converter (for example, a DC drive) to the same power supply system, use an AC reactor.

• The main circuit terminal block for the drive, and the terminal blocks for the AC reactor and DC Link Choke come in different shapes. The

drive has a European-style terminal block, and the AC reactor and DC Link Choke have a circular terminal block. Correctly prepare the

ends of the wiring.

• Ground the AC reactor and DC Link Choke (option) on the back of the mounting base. Remove all paint from the mounting surface of the

control panel.

Connect an AC Reactor

When you connect an AC reactor to the output side (secondary side) of the driver, set C6-02 = 1 [Carrier Frequency Selection = 2.0 kHz].

Connect a DC Link Choke

When you install a DC link choke, remove the jumper between terminals +1 and +2. If you will not use a DC link

choke, do not remove the jumper. Refer to
