The Siemens SIDAC 4EP3200-0AS00 is a 3-phase output reactor rated for a maximum continuous current of 2.2 A and a switching frequency of 8 kHz, with an inductance of 0.2 mH. It is designed for AC voltage systems and connects via screw-type terminals. The IP00 protection class means it is an open-frame component intended for installation inside an enclosure — not for exposed or washdown environments.
The 2.2 A current rating is the thermal limit under the stated conditions — the reactor can carry that continuously at 40 °C ambient without exceeding Class B (130 °C) insulation rise. The 8 kHz switching frequency matches the carrier frequency of many modern IGBT-based drives; if your drive runs a higher carrier, derating or a different reactor is needed. The 0.2 mH inductance and 0.4 % impedance are sized for motor cable lengths typical of small servo or spindle drives — it limits the rate of current rise (di/dt) and reduces capacitive charging currents in the cable, which is what protects the drive output stage from reflected-wave overvoltage.
Physical integration
Dimensions are 0.08 m wide, 0.1 m tall, and 0.05 m deep. The screw-type terminals accept the main circuit conductors. Because it is IP00, the reactor must be mounted inside a cabinet that provides the required environmental and touch protection — typically a metal or polycarbonate enclosure with appropriate IP rating for the installation site.
