What this reactor does and how it fits
The Siemens 4EU3652-6UC00-1BA0 is a 3-phase mains choke for the input side of a variable-frequency drive. It limits harmonic distortion and reduces peak currents. The 630 A maximum rating and 567 A nominal current size it for large drives on 400/480 V AC three-phase systems.
Key ratings and what they mean for your panel
Rated 567 A continuous at 40 °C ambient — that is the sustained current the reactor can carry without exceeding its thermal class H (180 °C insulation system) limits. The 630 A maximum likely represents a short-time or overload ceiling; do not plan continuous duty above the 567 A figure. Total power loss is 564 W (394 W coil + 170 W iron core), all dissipated as heat inside the enclosure. That is substantial — forced ventilation or a derated panel fill factor is non-negotiable. The 4% voltage drop at rated current means the drive sees about 461 V on a 480 V line; factor that into your motor terminal voltage calculation. IP00 protection means no enclosure — the reactor is an open-frame component. It must be mounted inside a locked, ventilated cabinet with clearance to live parts. The flat-type connectors are heavy-duty bus-bar lugs, not screw terminals; plan your cable terminations accordingly. Dimensions are 0.35 m wide × 0.321 m tall × 0.237 m deep — about the size of a small suitcase. Verify your gland plate and bus-bar routing before committing the panel layout.
