The Schneider Electric METSEPM5310 is a three-phase AC line reactor (input choke) designed for installation on the power supply side of variable frequency drives (VFDs). It is a passive inductive component that serves as a fundamental and effective solution for improving power quality and protecting drive systems.
Parameters
Parameter Specification
Product Family Harmonic & Power Quality Solutions / AC Line Reactors
Component Type 3-Phase AC Line Reactor (Input Choke)
Commercial Reference METSEPM5310
Compatible Load Current 10 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).
Frequency 50/60 Hz
Inductance Specific value depends on the impedance percentage. For a common 3% impedance reactor at 480V, the inductance per phase is approximately 1.3 mH (Calculated: L = (Z% * V_LL) / (100% * √3 * 2π * f * I)). Always verify with official data.
Impedance Commonly available in standard percentages such as 3% or 5% at rated current and voltage.
Current Rating Continuous: 10 A RMS
Overload Capacity: Typically 150% for 1 minute.
Insulation Class Class F (155°C) or higher.
Temperature Rise Typically ≤ 80°C at rated current.
Cooling Natural convection (air-cooled).
Connection Screw terminals suitable for copper conductors.
Mounting Chassis or DIN-rail mountable (depends on specific model/enclosure variant).
