What is a shunt reactor?
The shunt reactors are one of the closely packed devices for controlling the power of high capacitive power generation. It is an electrical instrument, which is used to stabilize the voltage throughout load variations in high-voltage power transmission systems. The grading or the rating of a standard shunt reactor will be kept safe and all the time it is connected to the transmission line constructed on the load.
The functional parameters of a shunt reactor is that it acts as a reactive power absorber in an electrical energy supply unit, hence improving the efficiency of the system. It’s a simple and compact device that is deployed to high-voltage transmission systems and cable arrangements for controlling the generated power. This can be permanently attached to the power generation supply or the third-level winding of a 3-winding generator. The complete apparatus should be connected to the circuit breaker, which is employed to permanently connect them to the main switch of the shunt reactor.
The features of shunt reactors are more similar to power transformers. Unlike the typical transformers there is one winding per phase. As far as a top-rated model is considered, the loopings of these are connected by extending to the neutral point. The entire connection of an earthing system throughout the power transformer tertiary winding can be accomplished by connecting to the neutral point. In general, we find two types of these reactors: dry type and oil-immersed type.
The shunt reactors installed in various power generating units have tremendously increased the system execution by minimizing the short-circuit levels and the generator patterns by slightly reducing the reactive power output. As a result, breakdowns can be reduced by detecting the shunt reactor’s evaluation losses at a voltage lower than the reactor’s system voltage.
The applications of the shunt reactors are endless. They are efficiently installed at electrical substation, nuclear power plants, conventional power plants, renewable power plants, and mining and steel plants. Even though they are also deployed in busy commercial spaces and residential spaces.
These are customized space-saving machines that are adapted for installation in compressed areas. We can arrange the shunt reactor can be mounted according to the choice of customer and the availability of space. It can be mounted individually as single-phase units, side-by-side, or combined 3-unit stacks, one coil on top of the other. There is provision for special mounting solutions that will also be provided in case of space limitations.
