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 oers 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.

e 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. e 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 qualied 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.

e reactor, VFD, motor, and other

connected equipment must be properly

grounded.

e VFD terminals and connected

cables are at a dangerously high voltage

when power is applied to the VFD,

regardless of motor operation.

Warning

All electrical connections must be re-torqued

annually.

KLR/KDR Line Reactor Installation Instruction INPUT When installing the KLR/KDR Line Reactors on the INPUT side of the Variable Frequency Drive (VFD), please use the following guidelines when wiring the unit: The KLR/KDR Line Reactor is a 3-phase device and should be wired in a series and positioned on the input side of the VFD. Power Wiring: Only use 75°C copper conductors unless the wire connector is marked for Al/Cu, then the use of aluminum wire is permitted.
