Shunt Reactors By Crompton Greaves Ltd.

We are among the prominent names in the industry, engaged in manufacturing and supplying of Shunt Reactors in Kochi, Kerala, India. To improve the stability and efficiency of energy transmission, shunt reactors are employed in the system. Depending on the load pattern of the line and the balance of reactive power, these are placed in a parallel configuration to compensate for the capacitive currents common to long transmission lines or cables. Shunt reactors are similar to a power transformer in winding design and insulation. For optimum reliability/cost efficiency and minimum life-cycle cost as well as in-rush currents, a simple and robust build-up is adopted. This is most cost efficient means to compensate the capacitive generation in order to sustain performance under severe cold, severe heat, lightning and earthquake, as well as violent fluctuations in voltage.
