IMPORTANT USER INFORMATION
NOTICE
MTE Series RLW Line/Load Reactors are components designed to improve the reliability
of adjustable frequency drives, DC drives and a wide variety of other types of power
electronic equipment. In addition they provide input line current harmonic mitigation and
long lead protection for inverter fed motors. MTE reactors are available in a large number
of current ratings and a variety of inductance values. The suitability of a line/load reactor
for a specific application must therefore be ultimately determined by the customer. In no
event will MTE Corporation assume responsibility or liability for any direct or
consequential damages resulting from the use or application of reactors. Nor will MTE
Corporation assume patent liability with respect to the use of information, circuits or
equipment described in this instruction manual.

1. IMPORTANT SAFETY NFORMATION WARNING
ONLY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN CAN CARRY OUT THE ELECTRICAL
INSTALLATION OF LINE/LOAD REACTORS
WARNING
High voltage is used in the operation of line/load reactors. Use Extreme caution to avoid contact with high voltage
when operating, installing or repairing equipment containing line/load reactors.
INJURY OR DEATH MAY RESULT IF SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ARE NOT OBSERVED.
Line/load reactors are used in conjunction with inverters, or other electrical equipment that may feedback lethal
voltages. Follow the safety instructions in the equipment used with the reactor in addition to the safety instruction in
this manual.
WARNING
The opening of the branch circuit protective device may be an indication that a fault current has been
interrupted. To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, line/load reactors should be examined and
replaced if damaged.
WARNING
An upstream disconnect/protection device must be used as required by the National Electrical Code
(NEC).
WARNING
Even if the upstream disconnect/protection device is open, a drive or inverter down stream of the
line/load reactor may feed back high voltage to the reactor. The inverter or drive safety instructions
must be followed. INJURY OR DEATH MAY RESULT IF THE DRIVE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ARE
NOT OBSERVED.
WARNING
The frame of line/load reactors must be grounded at least at one of the reactor’s mounting holes.
WARNING
Only spare parts obtained from MTE Corporation or an authorized MTE distributor can be used

2. INTRODUCTION
This manual was specifically developed to assist in the installation, interconnection and operation of
MTE Corporation Series RLW Line/Load Reactors
This manual is intended for use by personnel experienced in the operation and maintenance of electronic
drives, inverters and similar types of power electronic equipment. Because of the high voltages required by the
equipment connected to line/load reactors and the potential dangers presented by rotating machinery, it is
essential that all personnel involved in the operation and maintenance of line/load reactors know and practice
the necessary safety precautions for this type of equipment. Personnel should read and understand
the instructions contained in this manual before installing, operating or servicing line/load reactors and
the drive to which the reactor is connected.
Upon Receipt of a Reactor:
MTE Line/load Reactors have been subjected to demanding factory tests before shipment. Carefully
inspect the shipping container for damage that may have occurred in transit. Then unpack the filter and
carefully inspect for any signs of damage. Save the shipping container for future transport of the
reactor.
In the event of damage, please contact and file a claim with the freight carrier involved
immediately.
If the equipment is not going to be put into service upon receipt, cover and store the reactor in a clean, dry
location. After storage, ensure that the equipment is dry and that no condensation has accumulated on
the reactor before applying power.
Repair/Exchange Procedure
MTE Corporation requires a Returned Material Authorization Number before it can accept any reactors
that qualify for return or repair. If problems or questions arise during installation, setup, or operation of the filter,
please call us for assistance at:
