the available power in an electrical supply

system is composed of active power

and reactive power. While active power results

in the form of actual work output, the reactive

power is used to maintain the magnetic field

requirements. the power factor is an indicator

of reactive power which is always an inherent

part of the electrical system.

lower is the power factor higher is the reactive

power usage.

Hence, the challenge is to improve power

factor which helps in reducing i2r losses,

improves voltage stability and increase

utilization of an electrical distribution system.

With legrand’s range of solutions for reactive

energy compensation that include capacitors,

detuned reactors, automatic power factor

controllers and capacitor banks, you will have

the power to contribute to energy savings.

Detuned reactorsDetuned reactors

SAH-3.45-20.2

The Alptec detuned reactors are designed to protect the capacitorsagainst harmonics and avoid parallel resonance and amplification ofharmonics flowing on the networkThe connection of these reactors in series with capacitors causes ashift of the resonance frequency of the circuit composed by feedingtransformer-reactors- capacitors so that the resulting self-resonancefrequency is well below the line harmonicsThe blocking factor p% is expressed by the ratio between inductivereactance and capacitive reactance it corresponds to the increaseof voltage applied to capacitors, with respect to line voltage, due tocirculation of capacitive current in the reactorConforming to standards IEC/EN 60289
