Line Reactors are Today's Solution to SCR Drive - Inverter Application Problems

The primary purpose of a Line Reactor is to introduce a specific amount of inductive reactance into a circuit. When a line reactor introduces inductive reactance into a circuit, in affect it is limiting the current in the line which in turn filter the waveform and attenuates electrical noise and harmonics associated with an inverter / drive output. A three phase Line Reactor is a set of three coils (also known as windings, chokes or inductors) in one assembly. It is a series device, which means it is connected in the supply line such that all line current flows through the reactor. Line Reactors are current-limiting devices and oppose rapid changes in current because of their impedance. They hold down any spikes of current and limit any peak currents. Inductors placed at the input and output of electrical equipment, can provide protection and improve performance. Line Reactors absorb many power line disturbances which could damage or shut down your inverters, variable speed controllers or other voltage sensitive equipment.
