Detuned Reactors - Adjusted and Non-adjusted Calculations


In this section I shall try to give instructions to select a detuned reactor (reactor -capacitor combination)

The table below is given in format which allows reader to print and use it as it is.

Steps
Fill Below
Remarks/Actions
1.     Network voltage


2.     Frequency

For 60Hz. Contact us directly.
3.    Harmonic spectrum is known


3rd

14% detuning if 3rd present
5th

7% to 5.6% if 5th present
7th


9th


4.   Harmonic currents are known

Go to 5th step
 Ih > 1.5 In

Consult Specialist
1.3In > Ih > I.5In

5.67%
1.1In > Ih > I.3In

7%
5.     Resonant conditions exists

Select 7%
6.   No info on Harmonic currents

Select 7%
7.     Select compensation steps


8.     Adjusted or non-adjusted

See example calculations below

9.     Reactor material

Recommend Aluminium
10.   Linearity

Standard or customised.
11.   Terminations


12.   Thermal cutouts

Recommended
Selection complete. Refer PFC components Catalogue for part numbers.



25 kvar 440 V 50Hz 3 x 137uF (411uF)
To be detuned to 189Hz (7%)

Selection of the reactor-





25 kvar 440 V 50Hz 3 x 137uF (411uF)
To be detuned to 189Hz (7%)


Using the above methods it is easily possible to arrive at the correct values for the detuned combination.
