A reactor connected in series with other equipment to limit the flow of fault current, harmonic currents, or for reactive power compensation. Shunt Reactors are used for long EHV transmission lines to control voltage during low – load period. Shunt reactors is also used to compensate shunt capacitance of transmission line during low load periods. Usually Shunt reactors are unswitched.eactors and Series Reactors are used widely in AC networks to limit the overvoltage or to limit the shortcut current. With more high-voltage overhead lines for long transmission distance and increasing network capacity, Reactors andSeries Reactors play an important role in the modern network system.
Application:
- Fault current reduction.
- Impedance matching of parallel feeder.
