Introduction
Shunt Reactors
Trench air core reactors range from small kvar units for
applications such as capacitor bank inrush limiting or
distribution system short circuit current reduction, to large
power reactors for a number of applications, such as shunt
reactors that may be over 100 Mvar per coil.

U:
rated system voltage (kV)
Mvar:
reactive power (Mvar) of a bank of three single phase reactors, at rated voltage
X-50 Hz:
reactance per phase (ohm)
I: rated phase current (Amps); the reactors are designed to carry continuously 105 % of rated current without exceeding the temperature class
limit
Q: quality factor (X/R) of the shunt reactor, at 75C; the numbers given in the table refer to standard reactor designs for minimum investment
cost; reactors with higher Q-factors are feasible, if required.
D, H1, H2, H3: reactor dimensions, see sketch
C:
minimum distance between phase reactors mounted side-by-side, based on a coupling coefficient between reactors of less than 1 %
M1:
mass per phase reactor, without support elements
M2:
mass per phase reactor, including support elements
1. winding
2. winding conductor
3. spider
4. terminal
5. duct stick
6. base insulator
