Energy savings
Improved power quality
Pay-back period 0.5-2 years
Reduction of losses in the electrical network
Improved transmission capacity
Using a detuning reactor in series with the capacitor will provide a higher impedance to the harmonics, which can eliminate the risk of capacitor's overloading.
Eliminating risk of capacitor overload, then enhance the working life of capacitor
Eliminating harmonic amplification
Avoid resonance between capacitor and the mains
Low/Medium Voltage Reactors in Capacitor Bank
In a detuned filter application, the voltage across the capacitors will be higher than the nominal system voltage due to Vector sum of voltage drop, hence the capacitors must be designed to withstand higher voltages. Typical capacitor voltages for 400/415V network are 480V, 525V etc. thus detuned reactor must be chosen according to the capacitors they are associated with.
Series reactors and shunt reactors are commonly used in power systems. Series reactors are mainly used to limit the short-circuit current. Sometimes capacitors were in series or in parallel in the filter to limit higher harmonics in the grid as well.
