Iron Core Series Reactors

At Sharda Capacitor, we design and manufacture high-performance Iron Core Series Reactors for Low Voltage (LV), Medium Voltage (MV), and High Voltage (HV) applications. These reactors play a vital role in voltage regulation, current limitation, harmonic reduction, and system stability.

By incorporating a robust iron core, these reactors are more compact, efficient, and reliable compared to air-core alternatives. With successful installations across India, Africa, Latin America, South East Asia, and Gulf countries, our Iron Core Reactors are trusted for their durability and long service life.

Iron Core Advantages
  • Compact size – requires less installation space
  • Superior cooling efficiency
  • Reduced losses compared to air-core reactors
  • Smaller panel size, reducing overall system cost
Role of Series Reactors in Capacitor Banks
  • Limit switching inrush currents
  • Prevent resonance with harmonic frequencies
  • Improve overall system performance and reliability
  • Tuned Reactors :Used when a specific harmonic (e.g., 5th or 7th) must be minimized. Designed to form a harmonic filter tuned at one frequency.
  • Detuned Reactors :Designed to reduce multiple harmonic levels simultaneously. Provide a combination of harmonic filters in a single unit. Widely used for power factor correction systems in harmonic-rich environments.
Applications of Iron Core Series Reactors
  • Power Distribution Systems – limit fault currents, improve voltage regulation, reduce short-circuit impact
  • Motor Drives – protect motors against inrush currents and limit voltage spikes
  • Power Factor Correction Systems – improve system efficiency when used with capacitor banks
  • Industrial Plants & Utilities – stabilize voltage, reduce harmonics, and extend equipment life
