Uses
Harmonics are unwanted energy losses generated by non-linear loads in a power system. A harmonic filter, typically enclosed in a metal cabinet, is often used to remove harmonics from the circuit. This filter consists of a filter reactor connected in series with a capacitor bank, forming a complete filter circuit tuned to a specific resonant frequency in order to absorb harmonic currents at the corresponding harmonic frequency.

Standards
1.GB/T 10229-1988
2.IEC 289: 1987

As we mentioned above, harmonics are mainly caused by non-linear loads and components. These elements include the rectifier, variable speed drive, and transformer, which are typically called the source of harmonics. Harmonics have a detrimental effect on the power system as well as the electric loads connected to the system. That is why we should use a filter reactor, which is then connected to the capacitor bank, to eliminate harmonics and improve the power factor of a system.

Technical Specs
The filter reactor does not have definite specs to follow, as each should be custom designed. Here we take a three-phase filter reactor as an example. But note that data below are for reference only.

Please do let us know if your filter reactor is to be used in a medium-frequency induction heating furnace due to its special nature.

5% taps can be added along the transformer winding (to fine-tune the filter for different resonance frequencies). If need those winding taps, be sure to mention it upon asking a price quote. Taps are metal loops you would see on the transformer winding. 5% tap means the tap adjusts turns ratio in 5% increment.

This filter reactor is mainly used in an active harmonic filter.
