Note the following: WARNING Siemens products may only be used for the applications described in the catalog and in the relevant technical documentation. If products and components from other manufacturers are used, these must be recommended or approved by Siemens. Proper transport, storage, installation, assembly, commissioning, operation and maintenance are required to ensure that the products operate safely and without any problems.
4. Ground and short-circuit. 5. Cover or enclose adjacent components that are still live. Note Use of copper cables for a UL-approved system For a UL-approved system use 60/75°C copper conductors only. SINAMICS DCM commutating reactors Operating Instructions, 11/2013, A5E32621741B...

The 1-phase commutating reactors are designed as 4% commutating reactors in accordance with the field power sections of the SINAMICS DCM from AC 3 A to AC 85 A. The rated voltage is 400 V at 50 Hz or 480 V at 60 Hz.
The reactor must be installed in accordance with safety regulations (e.g. EN, DIN, VDE) as well as all other applicable national or local regulations. Grounding, conductor dimensioning, and the appropriate short-circuit protection measures must be carried out correctly in order to ensure operational safety.

• In order to prevent the reactor from becoming deformed, no horizontal forces may be exerted on the lifting eyes. • Do not lift the reactor at the connecting lugs. Figure 3-1 Lifting the reactor SINAMICS DCM commutating reactors Operating Instructions, 11/2013, A5E32621741B...
Note EMC-compliant installation When the commutating reactors are connected, observe the installation notes for the EMC- conform assembly of drives in the SINAMICS DCM DC Converter Operating Instructions. Note Strain relief Connection cables or busbars must be fixed near the commutating reactor so that no forces act on the terminals and connection lugs.

When commutating reactors with SCCR of 20 ms and 100 ms are deployed, semiconductor fuses must be installed in the rectifier system upstream of the reactor. These interrupting times are then achieved by the semiconductor fuses that are normally used. SINAMICS DCM commutating reactors Operating Instructions, 11/2013, A5E32621741B...
