Siemens 6SL32030CE218AA0 Line Reactor

Product Description

The SIEMENS 6SL32030CE218AA0 is a line reactor designed to protect variable frequency drives and connected equipment from line-side voltage spikes, harmonic distortion, and transient surges. Line reactors are passive inductive devices installed on the input side of a VFD or other sensitive drive system. They reduce the rate of current rise during switching events, extending drive and motor service life. This unit ships as a single piece and weighs 6.504 pounds, making it practical for panel or cabinet installation in commercial and industrial electrical systems. Licensed electricians and drive system technicians are the typical installers.

This line reactor is suited for commercial and industrial applications where variable frequency drives require input-side protection. Common installation scenarios include HVAC air-handling units, pump systems, conveyor drives, and other motor-control panels where power quality is a concern. The reactor helps bring installations into closer alignment with drive manufacturer recommendations for input filtering. It is packaged individually and is intended for permanent, hardwired installation inside an enclosure or panel.

Key Features

• Passive inductive design reduces line-side harmonics and voltage transients at the VFD input
• Compact footprint at 11.417 inches long by 7.480 inches wide by 7.677 inches tall
• Lightweight construction at 6.504 pounds for easier panel mounting
• Single-unit packaging for straightforward procurement and installation
• Extends drive and motor service life by limiting current inrush and switching transients

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style line reactor for use with compatible variable frequency drive systems requiring input-side line conditioning. Verify drive input voltage, current rating, and manufacturer specifications before installation to confirm fitment.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements and the VFD manufacturer's wiring guidelines. De-energize and lock out the panel before beginning any wiring work. The reactor is typically wired in series on the line side of the drive, ahead of the drive input terminals. Do not bypass or install in parallel with the drive input.
