Wiring of a reactor

[Pitt123]

Does it matter what side of a reactor is used to connect the line side and the load side cables? Is there a specific primary and secondary side of a reactor? For a line reactor does it matter which end is connected to line cables?

Technically no, but every reactor I have seen includes line and load side terminal identification.

It shouldn't matter, but I'd contact the manufacturer if you aren't sure.

Technically no, but every reactor I have seen includes line and load side terminal identification.

One side of the reactor has L1, L2, & L3, and the other side has 1L1, 2L2, &3L3. How do you tell from this which is the line and load side?

I would not think it matters since esentially all a reactor is is a coil? Does the current flow direction throught the coil matter?
