What is a shunt reactor?
Shunt reactors are inductive elements that are used to absorb excess reactive power in medium-voltage systems and prevent voltage surges during light load conditions. The dry design of this equipment ensures safe and low-maintenance operation even in harsh industrial environments.
Key Features
- Rated voltage up to 36 kV
- Rated power from 50 to 2000 kVA
- Air or iron core type (dry)
- Class F or H insulation system
- Can be used in permanent or switched mode
