are mainly used in places with long power transmission and distribution lines. Especially for supplying telecommunication stations in rural areas like radio, GSM and TV transmitters with electricity, long overland cables must be used.
These cables have a capacitive characteristic at longer distances. This capacitive characteristic causes the system to become overcompensated. This results in penalties in electricity bills because of high capacitive reactive power.
Furthermore this capacitive characteristic causes the line voltage to increase and may damage sensitive equipment connected to it. This problem can also be observed in industrial zones, wide campuses, solar farms, etc ...
Recently, we have seen also a very high capacitive behaviour of the network in buildings using a lot of LED lighting.
The solution for these problems is making the network inductive with SHUNT REACTORS.
They can be directly connected to the power line or to a tertiary winding of a three winding transformer.
