SHUNT - INDUCTIVE LOAD REACTORS

Shunt reactors are devices that create an inductive effect. For this reason, they are also called 'Inductive Load Reactor' and are used for balancing (compensation) in systems with high capacitive reactive energy.

Main Causes of Capacitive-Reactive Effect in Energy Systems;

The main problems caused by capacitive-reactive energy in energy systems are; ;

In order to eliminate these problems, it is necessary to connect a shunt reactor parallel to the system. Shunt reactors dampen the undesired capacitive effect by creating an inductive load, thus eliminating the above-mentioned problems. Apart from compensation systems, shunt reactors are also used as inductive load in electrical test systems and laboratories. We produce shunt reactors, which we produce at standard values, in different voltage and power values for the needs of the facility to be compensated. If the harmonic distortion of the energy system is at high levels, a harmonic analysis report should be issued. If the reactive power balances of the phases are at different levels, the reactive load values of each phase should be reported.

• In systems fed with very long energy cables such as TV-radio transmitters and radio base stations installed outside the city centers, the capacitive effect of the supply cables due to the low load capacity causes the system to overcompensate.
• A similar capacitive effect occurs in power transmission lines and general energy distribution systems.
• Capacitive-reactive energy increases in the system as a result of excessive use of capacitor-containing electronic devices such as UPS and similar or excessive compensation in the facility.
• Reactive energy causes fines to be paid,
• It reduces the efficiency and life of the energy system, equipment and machinery connected to the system,
• Causes less active energy power flow into the system
• Causes unwanted maintenance and repair costs in the energy system
