11.10 Molded case circuit breakers, fuses, magnetic contactors
(1) For main circuit power supply
Always use one molded case circuit breaker and one magnetic contactor with one servo amplifier. When
using a fuse instead of the molded case circuit breaker, use the one having the specifications given in
this section.

Note 1. To comply with the UL/CSA standard, use the wires shown in appendix 8 for wiring.
2. Use a magnetic contactor with an operation delay time (interval between current being applied to
the coil until closure of contacts) of 80 ms or less.
(2) For control circuit power supply
If wires for L11 and L21 are slimmer than wires for L1, L2, and L3, use a molded case circuit breaker or
fuse to protect the branch circuit.

11.11 Power factor improving DC reactors
The following shows the advantages of using power factor improving DC reactor.
It improves the power factor by increasing the form factor of the servo amplifier's input current.
It decreases the power supply capacity.
The input power factor is improved to be about 85%.
As compared to the power factor improving AC reactor (FR-HAL), it decreases the loss.
When connecting the power factor improving DC reactor to the servo amplifier, always disconnect P3 and
P4. If it remains connected, the effect of the power factor improving DC reactor is not produced.
When used, the power factor improving DC reactor generates heat. To release heat, therefore, leave a 10
cm or more clearance at each of the top and bottom, and a 5 cm or more clearance on each side.
