Shunt reactor

Designed and developed in compliance with NBR 5119 and IEC 60076-6 standards, WEG Reactors are benchmark of reliability, quality and high performance. Why use shunt reactors? In long distances, typical of electric energy transmission, the reactive/capacitive effects are inherent to the operation and cause considerable losses from the generating source to the consumer source. In order to minimize such effects, and control the voltages along the whole transmission line, reactors are used in parallel with the system. WEG Advantages Designed and developed in compliance with NBR 5356-6 and IEC 60076-6, they are benchmark of reliability, quality and high performance. Only genuinely Brazilian manufacturer of reactors, WEG has verticalized processes and a wide network of technical assistance. Those advantages optimize the lead times and provide the users with fast and highly reliable services. Application Used in parallel with the power transmission system to minimize the reactive/capacitive effects inherent to the transmission lines due to their long lengths. Characteristics Special equipment available up to 230 kV; High-performance equipment; Possibility of full monitoring so as to extend the useful life; Prototypes certified by international laboratories for endurance to short circuit stresses.
