Current Limiting Reactors

Current limiting reactors are used to reduce short circuit levels and stresses on high voltage equipment. They limit line to ground current during faults by connecting between the neutral system and earth. They can also be used as load sharing reactors to balance current in parallel circuits. Hilkar manufactures current limiting reactors up to 420kV. Inrush current limiting reactors limit inrush currents during switching of capacitors to increase equipment life. Hilkar designs reactors to minimize losses and meets standards like EN 60289 through testing.

CURRENT LIMITING REACTORS


Current Limiting Reactors reduce short circuit levels to meet the system needs and reduce stresses on busses, insulators, circuit breakers and other high voltage devices. They are connected between the neutral of a system and earth for limiting the line to ground current under system fault conditions. They are also used as load sharing reactors for balancing the current in parallel circuits. Hilkar's current limiting reactors are manufactured up to 420 kV. These reactors are designed in a way to withstand the rated and fault currents for a certain period of time.
