Besides power factor correction does the line reactor do anything

Yes, I had a few pieces of computer-type gear that were affected by a VFD
on my CNC mill. I put a heavy-duty commercial line filter box on it, and
all the interference went away. This is an LC filter, not just a reactor.
I found a suitable filter in my junk.

Thanks Jon. As it happens I have an LC filter I removed from an old
CNC mill. Made by RK Electric. There is a schematic on the front that
shows three 220 ohm resistors all connected together at one end in a
star formation. The other end of each resistor is connected to a .47
mfd cap. From the other end of each cap is a wire. The device is rated
at 600 volts. I don't know how to use it but I imagine it is just
connected across the three incoming power wires. With single phase can
just any two wires be used?
Thanks again,
Eric
