SERIES & SHUNT REACTOR
Magnetic and Controls specializes in the manufacturing of high-quality reactors for power quality and protection applications. Our Series Reactors and Shunt Reactors are designed to improve system performance, reduce harmonics, and enhance reliability in industrial and commercial electrical networks. Understanding the difference between these two reactor types is essential for selecting the right solution for your application.
Where Series Reactors Are Used?
Harmonic Filtering – Used in capacitor banks to reduce harmonic distortion.
Current Limiting – Protects against high inrush currents in transformers and motors.
Power Factor Correction – Improves efficiency in industrial electrical networks.
Motor Protection – Reduces stress on motor windings by controlling inrush currents.
UPS and Inverter Systems – Enhances stability and reliability of power systems.
Where Shunt Reactors Are Used?
Transmission and Distribution Networks – Used in high-voltage power lines to control voltage fluctuations.
Power Factor Compensation – Helps balance reactive power in industrial plants.
Renewable Energy Systems – Stabilizes voltage in wind and solar power grids.
HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current) Systems – Manages reactive power in HVDC converter stations.
Capacitor Bank Compensation – Prevents overvoltage conditions due to excess reactive power
Why Are They Used?
Benefits of Series Reactors:
