Ac Reactor Function

The main functions of AC Reactors include the following aspects:

‌1. Reduce the harmonics, surges and peak currents of the main power supply: AC reactors can absorb harmonics, surges and operational overvoltages in the power grid, thereby reducing the impact of these adverse factors on the power system and protecting the safe operation of subsequent equipment.

‌Improve low-frequency conduction interference resistance: By increasing the inductance of the system, AC reactors can improve the system's resistance to low-frequency interference signals and ensure the stable operation of the power system.

‌Protect power electronic components: In the industrial control automation industry, AC reactors are often used at the input end of the inverter to protect the power electronic components of the drive mechanism from damage by adverse factors in the power grid.

‌Improve power factor: AC reactors can be used in conjunction with other reactive compensation devices (such as capacitors) to achieve reactive balance of the system, thereby improving the power factor of the power system, reducing line losses, and improving power supply quality.

‌Prevent tripping caused by voltage spikes‌: AC reactors can output voltage smoothly, prevent voltage fluctuations and spikes from affecting the load, and avoid tripping accidents caused by them‌.

In summary, AC reactors play multiple important roles in power systems and are one of the important devices to ensure safe and stable operation of power systems.
