Harmonic filter reactor is used to control and filter harmonic distortions in electrical systems. Harmonic distortions that occur in electrical systems are electrical signals that contain unwanted voltage and current waves at incorrect frequencies.
Harmonic filter reactors help control harmonic distortions by using them in industrial facilities and energy distribution systems. This allows energy systems to operate more efficiently and transmit electrical energy without damaging other devices.
Harmonic Filter Reactor Selection
Harmonic filter reactor selection should be carefully considered based on the specific application and power system needs. Understanding the specific requirements of your application and power system characteristics is important to selecting the right harmonic filter reactor.
The factors to be considered when selecting a harmonic filter reactor are as follows,
Frequency Range: Certain Harmonic filter reactors must absorb harmonic currents within a certain frequency range. The frequency characteristics of certain harmonics in the system must be taken into account.
Nominal Current and Voltage: The nominal current and voltage values of the harmonic filter reactor must be suitable for the current and voltage demands in your application.
Inductance Value : The inductance value of the reactor should be selected depending on the harmonic control needs of your system. Higher inductance values may be required against low frequency harmonics.
Connection Type: Harmonic filter reactors are generally used in parallel or series connections. It is important to determine the appropriate connection type for your system.
Operating Environment: It is necessary to consider the operating environment of the reactor, as some environments may involve extreme temperatures, humidity or other conditions.
Regulation Features: Some harmonic filter reactors have automatic regulation capabilities for frequency and load changes. This can be important for adjusting to variables in the system.
