Besides power factor correction does the line reactor do anything
else that might prevent any problems? Such as stopping any noise that
might interfere with and CNC machines that are wired into the same
circuit breaker panel?


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.

Ditto here. It's difficult to see the filters, there are 6 Corcom
line filters in this mess that isolate the servo driver boxes from the
power line. Two filters are partially visible under the tangle of
cables between the upper two boxes. There's also a power line filter
going to the controller:

I have no idea if they were really necessary because I insisted that
they be included in the initial build and never tried to run any jobs
without them.
