OUTPUT
When installing the KLR/KDR Reactors
on the OUTPUT side of the Variable
Frequency Drive (VFD), please use the
following guidelines:
TCI recommends 1.5% impedance
reactors to be used on the output of the
VFD. In case of the KDR line, use only the
KDR OUTPUT reactors
Reactors should be mounted as
close to the output terminals of the VFD as
possible
TCI suggests that the reactor be
used in applications where the motor lead
length is less than 100 feet. For applications
with motor lead lengths greater than 100
feet, TCI offers V1k/KLC Output Filters
and KMG MotorGuard High Performance
Sinewave Filters.
Reactors are sized by the Full Load
Amps located on the motor nameplate.
Please contact TCI Technical Support
or your TCI distributor for application
information regarding the use of these
reactors on the load or output side of the
VFD or in applications where inductors are
used.
Warnings and Cautions
Dangerous Voltage Warning: warns of
situations in which a high voltage can
cause injury and/or equipment damage.
The text next to this symbol describes
ways to avoid danger.
General Warning: warns of situations
that can cause physical injury and/
or equipment damage by means other
than electrical. The text next to this
symbol describes ways to avoid the
danger.
General Safety Instructions
Be sure to read, understand, and follow
all safety instructions.
Only qualified electricians should
carry out all electrical installation and
maintenance work on reactors.
All wiring must be in accordance with
the National Electrical Code (NEC)
and/or any other codes that apply to
the installation site.
Disconnect all power before working
on the equipment. Do not attempt any
work on a powered reactor.
The reactor, VFD, motor, and other
connected equipment must be properly
grounded.
The VFD terminals and connected
cables are at a dangerously high voltage
when power is applied to the VFD,
regardless of motor operation.
