7% Detuned reactor

for use in PF correction capacitor bank

Why use a harmonic filter reactor in a power factor correction capacitor bank?
1. Capacitor are required to improve power factor, and possible system interaction may occur with the installation of a plain capacitor bank. 2. Permissible distortion limits of the local utility or IEEE !1" are e#ceeded, and filters are required to reduced them. $. % combination of 1 & 2 above, whereby capacitor are required to improve power factor and with the addition of the capacitors, permissible distortion limits are e#ceeded.

Benefit of using

De-tuned reactor.

1. Pro lon' the life of power factor capacitor by reducin' overheatin', or fuse failure. 2. Prevent nuisance input fuse blowin' or circuit breaker trippin'. $. (educe over heatin' of transformer. ). (educe the harmonic current in the electrical supply system. !. %ddressin' the harmonic problems created by non linear load such as %*+,s, %C +C converter, +C drives, weldin' m-c etc. ** The use of specific filtering factor requires careful system analysis. As a general rule, filtering factor p=7% is used where imported harmonics from the power source is the main concern.
