RL Reactors Technical Reference Manual 208V – 690V 1. SAFETY Warnings and Cautions The following symbols are used in this manual: High Voltage Warning: warns of situations that dangerously high voltage is involved. Failure to use proper precautions may lead to serious injury or death. -
Page 7: General Safety Instructions
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. -

RL Reactors Technical Reference Manual 208V – 690V 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. -

Page 41: How To Install
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. -
Page 42: Grounding
RL Reactors Technical Reference Manual 208V – 690V Grounding The reactor must always be grounded with a grounding conductor connected to ground terminals. For open reactors, ensure a 2” x 2” area is cleaned of paint and varnish on WARNING lower mounting bracket for ground connection. -
Page 43: Power Wiring Connection
RL Reactors Technical Reference Manual 208V – 690V 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. -

Page 49: Troubleshooting
RL Reactors Technical Reference Manual 208V – 690V 7. TROUBLESHOOTING When properly installed, this equipment has been designed to provide maximum safety for operating personnel. However, hazardous voltages and elevated temperatures exist within the confines of the enclosure. Servicing should therefore be performed by qualified personnel only and in accordance with OSHA Regulations. - Page 50 RL Reactors Technical Reference Manual 208V – 690V Table 7-1: Troubleshooting Guide PROBLEM: Line voltage is not present at the reactor output terminals. Possible cause: Power to the reactor is turned off. Solution: Turn power on. Possible cause: One or more external line fuses are blown. Solution: Verify the continuity of line fuses in all phases.
