Maximiser l'efficacité et le facteur de puissance
A Harmonic Filter Reactor is an iron‑core inductor designed to be connected in series with a capacitor bank, forming a detuned or tuned filter circuit. Its main job is to block or absorb harmonic currents — typically the 3rd, 5th, 7th, or higher orders — generated by non‑linear loads like variable frequency drives, rectifiers, and arc furnaces. Without this reactor, harmonics can overheat capacitors, trip breakers, and distort voltage at the point of common coupling.

Where a Harmonic Filter Reactor Prevents Costly Harmonic Issues
Slapping a capacitor bank onto a harmonic‑rich network often makes things worse. Below are real cases where our harmonic filter reactor stops resonance between the grid and capacitors, lowers voltage distortion below 5%, and keeps variable‑speed drives from nuisance tripping.
Absorbs the 3rd, 5th, or 7th harmonic instead of just blocking a rough frequency band. Before delivery, each Harmonic Filter Reactor is impedance‑tested at its tuning frequency, so you don’t end up with a filter that resonates one bin away from your actual problem.
Prevents saturation when sudden overloads or harmonic spikes occur. A saturated Harmonic Filter Reactor acts like a short circuit; our design keeps inductance deviation under 5% even when the current doubles, protecting your capacitors from overcurrent.
Allows continuous operation under full harmonic load without premature aging. While many reactors run at 110°C hotspot, this Harmonic Filter Reactor stays below 90K rise, which extends winding life by years in high‑ambient switchrooms.
Reduces eddy current heating in nearby steel panels and metal enclosures. Engineers installing this Harmonic Filter Reactor inside a common MCC bucket often measure a 30°C lower surface temperature on adjacent components compared to standard reactors.
Eliminates voids that cause partial discharge in medium‑voltage systems. For 6kV or 10kV applications, this Harmonic Filter Reactor passes a 20kV partial discharge test, which is rarely found on low‑cost imported units.
Takes the guesswork out of field verification and troubleshooting. Each Harmonic Filter Reactor comes with a test report showing actual L (mH) at 50Hz and at the tuning frequency, so you can quickly confirm whether it matches the capacitor bank’s rating.

Not always, but often yes. If your facility has any non‑linear loads (VFDs, UPS, LED lighting), capacitors alone can create a parallel resonance with the grid. A Harmonic Filter Reactor shifts the resonance away from problematic harmonics.
It means the reactor’s inductance, combined with the capacitor, creates a series resonance at 210Hz (for 50Hz systems). This avoids amplifying the 5th harmonic (250Hz) and protects the capacitor from 5th‑order currents. P=7% is the most common choice for industrial plants.
A single detuned reactor suppresses resonance for a range of frequencies above its tuning point, but it does not actively absorb a specific harmonic. For full harmonic mitigation (e.g., IEEE 519 compliance), a tuned filter per harmonic order or an active filter is required.
You need three values: capacitor reactive power (kvar), system voltage, and desired tuning order (e.g., 5th). Then calculate the required reactance in ohms. The safest approach is to provide your capacitor datasheet to ZHIMING — we will match the reactor without mismatch risk.
Some noise is unavoidable due to magnetostriction. However, ZHIMING reactors use optimized core clamping and low‑flux‑density design, keeping the sound pressure below 55dB at 1 meter for most low‑voltage models — quiet enough for indoor substations.
