Features

In large-capacity ultra-high voltage overhead lines and cables, high static capacitance between the line and the ground generally generates a leading current during light load operations.
This leading current actually raises system voltage at the receiving end. Such a phenomenon sometimes make it difficult to regulate generator voltage at the transmitting end and also to control substation power at the receiving end, A shunt reactor can be directly connected to the power, thus increasing the energy efficiency of the system.
The shunt reactor can be directly connected to the power line or to a tertiary winding of a three-winding transformer. MEIDEN shunt reactor designed minimize losses, sound and vibration, using radial block cores, ceramics spacers.
Compensation of the higher capacitive reactive power.
Reduced transmission losses.
Reduction of net work-frequency overvoltage’s in case of load variations.
