ELCO SYSTEMS – MV INRUSH CURRENT LIMITING REACTOR (CLR)

Inrush Current limiting reactors are designed to mitigate the abrupt high current surges that arises during the sudden tripping of large inductive or capacitive equipment of fault current arising out of short circuits in  interconnecting circuits of 2 power systems. They function to limit the current in short-circuit conditions, thereby protecting the system from damage.

MV Inrush Current Limiting Reactors are single-phase, with their configuration dependent on the connection type, and their installation allows flexibility of use. During switching operations, these reactors are connected in steps to regulate the closing currents of the panel breakers, ensuring safe system operation and protecting the switching components.

Product features

  • Switching Equipment Life Extension : Inrush current limiting reactors regulate abrupt changes in current, thereby increasing the service life of switching equipment. Sudden changes in load can cause  premature breaker failure. However, inrush current limiting reactors mitigate this problem, extending the service life of the switchgear.

 

  • Capacitor Service Life Extension: Capacitors used in power factor correction systems play a vital role in regulating reactive power. However, they are susceptible to damage when exposed to excessive currents. Inrush current limiting reactors mitigate this problem by reducing the high currents that reach the capacitors, thereby extending their operational service life and improving overall system efficiency. This, in turn, helps to minimize maintenance expenses.

 

  • Back-to-back Capacitor Switching: In power factor correction systems using capacitor banks with steps, current limiting reactors should be used when switching each successive capacitor step. This is necessary to prevent the energized capacitor step from influencing the newly energized capacitor step, which could occur due to fluctuations in the load current.
