A reactor is an electrical device designed to limit the magnitude of short-circuit currents in the electrical network, compensate for reactive power in power lines, filter out the higher harmonics of electrical current, and also reduce ripple in DC circuits.
The design of the reactor includes an electrical inductor, a support structure for the installation and power conductors for connecting the reactor to the electrical network. Depending on the purpose and class of voltage, the design of the reactor may include a core of electrical steel, support insulators for attachment to the foundation and the roof.
Reactors are indispensable equipment to improve reliability and achieve the desired result when operating electrical equipment.
