The Siemens SIDAC 4EP3705-6DS00 is a 3-phase AC output reactor rated for a maximum continuous current of 6.1 A and a rated frequency of 3 000 Hz. It sits between a variable-frequency drive and the motor to limit the rate of voltage rise (dV/dt) and reduce capacitive coupling currents in long cable runs — common in VFD-fed motor circuits where reflected-wave spikes can stress winding insulation. The 0.0035 H inductance and 6% impedance (UK) are sized for that role.
The 3 000 Hz rated frequency is the switching (carrier) frequency the reactor is designed for; drives operating at lower PWM carrier frequencies (2–4 kHz typical) are fine, but running a 4 kHz carrier above this reactor's rating saturates the core and increases losses. The 49.6 W coil loss plus 29.4 W iron-core loss (79 W total at rated load) must be dissipated — IP00 means no enclosure, so mount it in a ventilated cabinet or on a panel with free air movement. Thermal class B (130 °C rise) gives a reasonable margin for 40 °C ambient.
Dimensions are 0.17 m wide by 0.15 m tall by 0.1 m deep — a compact block that fits in a standard control cabinet. IP00 means no ingress protection; keep it in a clean, dry enclosure.
