Line reactor

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A line reactor is an electronics component consisting of one or more inductor elements generally wired in series with a power source and an electrical load. The line reactor will oppose rapid changes in current. The device serves to attenuate spikes of current and to limit peak currents.[1] The most common type is designed for three-phase electric power, in which three isolated inductors are each wired in series with one of the three line phases.[2] Line reactors are generally installed in motor driven equipment to limit starting current, and may be used to protect Variable-frequency drives and motors.[3]
