Description
The FANUC A81L-0001-0165 is a line reactor, also known as an AC reactor, manufactured by FANUC Robotics [1, 2, 3, 4]. It’s a passive electrical device used to improve power quality and protect electrical equipment within a FANUC automation system [1, 2, 3, 4].
Here’s a breakdown of its functionalities and key features:
Function:
- Installed in an AC power line to reduce current spikes and harmonics [1, 2, 3, 4].
- Current spikes are sudden surges in current that can damage electrical components [1, 2, 3, 4].
- Harmonics are distortions in the AC sine wave that can cause overheating and inefficiencies in electrical devices [1, 2, 3, 4].
- By limiting current spikes and harmonics, the line reactor helps to:
- Protect sensitive electronic components within the robot controller or other automation system devices [1, 2, 3, 4].
- Improve overall power quality by providing a cleaner and more stable AC power supply [1, 2, 3, 4].
Features (uncertain without user manual):
- Inductance: The line reactor likely has a specific inductance rating (in millihenrys, mH) that determines its ability to limit current spikes and harmonics [1, 2, 3, 4]. Refer to the user manual or datasheet for details (if available).
- Current Rating: The reactor will be designed to handle a specific maximum current without overheating [1, 2, 3, 4]. User manual confirmation is needed.
Applications:
- Commonly used in industrial automation systems, including FANUC robotic cells, to [1, 2, 3, 4]:
- Protect electrical components from damage caused by current spikes and harmonics [1, 2, 3, 4].
- Improve power quality and ensure reliable operation of the robotic or automation system [1, 2, 3, 4].
