At Magnetic and Controls, we specialize in manufacturing high-performance Tuned and Detuned Reactors designed to enhance power quality, mitigate harmonics, and prevent resonance in electrical networks. Our reactors ensure efficient operation, protecting critical equipment and optimizing overall system performance.

Understanding Resonance & How Our Reactors Prevent It

Resonance in electrical systems occurs when the natural frequency of a network coincides with harmonic frequencies, leading to excessive voltage and current distortions. This can result in overheating, capacitor damage, increased losses, and even equipment failure.

• Detuned Reactors are designed to shift the resonance frequency of a system away from dominant harmonics, preventing excessive harmonic amplification and protecting capacitors.

• Tuned Reactors selectively absorb and filter out specific harmonic frequencies (typically 5th or 7th order), improving power quality and reducing Total Harmonic Distortion (THD).
