The Schneider Electric METSEPM5320 is a three-phase AC line reactor (input choke) designed for use with variable frequency drives (VFDs). It serves as a crucial component for power quality improvement and drive protection in industrial and commercial applications.
Parameter Specification
Product Family Harmonic & Power Quality Solutions / AC Line Reactors
Component Type 3-Phase AC Line Reactor (Input Choke)
Commercial Reference METSEPM5320
Compatible Load Current 20 A (RMS, at specified voltage and frequency)
Design Voltage Typically for 400/480V AC, 50/60 Hz systems (confirm exact voltage rating from official datasheet).
