Damping reactors for capacitor banks The transient switching and inrush currents of a shunt capacitor bank can be limited by a damping reactor connected in series with the bank. Damping reactors are comparable to series reactors with low reactances. Their voltage strength requirements, however, are often higher than those of series reactors
Key points in Difference between Shunt Reactor and series reactor: Shunt reactor limits the over voltage but series reactor limits the high current. Shunt reactor uses as reactive power absorber, series reactor uses as current limiter and increase the impedance of the circuit. [wp_ad_camp_2] Also see: 4 Different Types of Current Transformers
When ATO reactor is connected with the power capacitor in series, it can not only effectively absorb the power grid harmonics, but also improve the power factor of the system.

A reactor, also known as a line reactor, is a coil wired in series between two points in a power system to minimize inrush current, voltage notching effects, and voltage spikes. Reactors may be tapped so that the voltage across them can be changed to compensate for a change in the load that the motor is starting. Reactors are rated by the ohms
Detuned reactors are three-phase inductors that play a crucial role in attenuating the amplification of harmonics in networks rich in harmonics. They are also used in series with
This type of calculation is true, if there is no reactor connected in series with capacitor. Once we know the total reactive power of the capacitors, we can choose series of capacitors for PF correction. There is 200kvar to be divided. Taking this into account, at his point, one needs to consider the number of capacitors that will be used.
The application of series capacitors is normally economical for line lengths greater than 200 miles. However, they can and have been applied to lines of shorter length where the line is part of a longer transmission "line" (system). Typically, series capacitors are applied to compensate for 25 to 75 per-cent of the inductive reactance of the
Nominal voltage of the capacitor [V]: the connection, in series, of capacitor and reactor causes an increase in voltage at the capacitor terminals due to the Ferranti Effect that must be considered in choosing the right
Series reactors require integration into the electricity network. This requires consideration of aspects such as physical layout, protection coordination, and voltage control. This note describes some aspects of voltage control in applications where series reactors are installed.
If the resonant frequency of the series resonant circuit formed in this way ( capacitors and Inductor) deviates (is lower) by more than 10% from the frequency of the nearest harmonic, then one speaks of a detuned resonator circuit or an anti-resonance circuit. Reactor protected compensation systems are designed as detuned resonator circuits and the series
As a matter of fact, the main function of the series reactor is to restrain the higher harmonic or limit the switching surge, prevent the harmonic wave from endangering the capacitor, avoiding the excessive amplification and resonance generation of the access of the capacitor to the power grid harmonic. As to the increasingly automatic life, the harmonic

Shunt capacitors are used to compensate lagging power factor loads, whereas reactors are used on circuits that generate VArs such as lightly loaded cables. The effect of these shunt devices is to supply or absorb the requisite reactive power to maintain the magnitude of the voltage.

Reactor design and technology High demands are placed on reactors.

Hence, the use of detuned reactors in series with capacitors offers higher impedance for harmonics, thus eliminating the risk of overload in capacitors. The inductance value of detuned reactors is selected such that the resonance frequency is less than 90% of the dominant harmonic in the spectrum.
One of the unwanted effects is the overheating of capacitor banks that are needed to maintain the power factor within the parameters required by the power authority, with a resulting, significant reduction in the average working life. The ideal solution is to insert block reactors in series with capacitor banks.
Some customers usually ask why the reactor should be connected in series. It feels expensive and occupies a lot of space. As a matter of fact, the function of the reactor is large. The reactor is also named as the inductor. The reactor is mainly used to limit the short-circuit current.
Placing a 2.5 Ω reactance in series with both feeders results in a fault current of 9.8 kA, well within limits. The goal of additional power capacity and restricted fault current is therefore achieved with the combination of a new feeder and a series reactor. III. CASE STUDIES
The addition of a series reactor will result in a voltage drop related to the impedance of the reactor. In most cases, this voltage drop is small compared to the normal system voltage fluctuations and no additional action is required.
Series reactors are used extensively in transmission and distribution networks to ensure that fault ratings are not exceeded. For example, when generation capacity is expanded or when feeders are added to a substation, the resulting fault current may exceed the rating of existing equipment.
