De Tuned Reactors
De Tuned Reactors
GR has been a pioneer and innovator offers De-Tuned Reactors. The anti-resonant (de-tuned) harmonic filtering of capacitor banks are specifically designed for networks containing harmonic energies which would otherwise damage standard fixed or automatic capacitor banks. The De-tuned Power Factor Correction systems are designed to provide power factor correction in today’s industrial networks.
The De-tuned assemblies include custom designed iron-core reactors in series with three-phase heavy duty capacitor modules. The series capacitor/reactor combination is tuned well below the first dominant harmonic (usually the 5th) thus preventing resonance and harmonic magnification. In addition to providing power factor correction without the risk of resonance, the De-tuned filter may absorb up to 50% of the 5th harmonic (depending upon network characteristics).
The tuned harmonic filter systems are specifically designed for harmonic filtering with power factor correction as a secondary benefit. The series capacitor/reactor combination is tuned close to the 5th harmonic (4.7x50 Hz). Such close tuning to the target harmonic increases the effectiveness of harmonic energy absorption of the capacitor/reactor stage. Due to the specific nature of the tuned filter systems, application issues must be examined prior to system installation.
