Shunt reactors for medium and high-voltage
networks improve the stability and efficiency
of the power transmission. Siemens ranks
among the leading suppliers worldwide of
these reactors with a reference program of
sold units with voltages up to 735 kV and
ratings up to 250 MVar. Our company can not
only look back on more than a century of ex-
perience gained in constructing shunt reactors.
We can also offer our customers the most
constructive solutions to meet their require-
ments.
Present worldwide
With locations on three continents, as well as
a worldwide sales and service network, we are
right there where you need us. This is also
what we mean by reliability.
