Shunt / Inductive Load Reactors
Shunt reactors create an inductive effect. For this reason, they are called 'Inductive Load Reactor' and are used to balance systems with high capacitive-reactive energy.
Shunt reactors maintain a grid's inductive character. The reactor's inductive power is added to the capacitive power, allowing the grid to operate within an appropriate Q/P coefficient range.
Capacitive power consumption increases in systems with LED light sources, UPSs, pulse power supplies, and long cable networks.
-
Capacitive reactive power in the system leads to many adverse effects; the main ones are:
-
Reactive energy causes a penalty to be paid,
-
Causes additional power losses in transmission lines and transformers
-
If the network is capacitive, system instability occurs due to a voltage increase
-
It reduces the efficiency and life of the energy system, tools, and machines connected to the system,
-
Causes less active flow of energy power into the system
-
Causes unwanted maintenance and repair costs in the energy system
To eliminate these problems, a shunt reactor must be connected in parallel to the system. Shunt reactors absorb the undesirable capacitive effect by creating an inductive load, thus eliminating the problems mentioned earlier.
Besides compensation systems, shunt reactors are used as inductive loads in electrical test systems and laboratories.
We also produce shunt reactors, which we produce at standard values at different voltage and power values according to the facility's needs to be compensated.
If the energy system's harmonic decay is high, a harmonic analysis report must be prepared. If the phases' reactive power balances are at different levels, the reactive load values of each phase must be reported.
