AC REACTOR

AC REACTOR

A line reactor (also referred to as a "choke") is a variable frequency drive (VFD) accessory that consists of a coil of wire that forms a magnetic field as current flows through it. This magnetic field limits the rate of rise of the current, thus reducing harmonics and protecting the drive from power system surges and transients. There are two primary types of reactors used in variable frequency drives: AC & DC. When an AC reactor is placed between the power system and the drive, it is referred to as an AC line reactor. When a DC reactor is inserted into the DC link of a variable frequency drive, it is known as a DC link reactor.
