MAIN FEATURES
Unleashing a new level of safety and reliability
Environment Friendly Dry Type Reactors
Oil free design, no risk of fire and no need for a fire protection or suppression system are other benefits. Also there is no need for auxiliary systems and bushings.
Modular design
Air Core Shunt Reactors can be designed and constructed in two columns connected in series. This significantly reduces the time, cost, and effort required for transport and installation.
Affordable Spares
Modular design provides the operator with significantly improved logistics, faster re-energization times and significantly reduced replacement costs compared to oil-immersed reactors.
Reduced Civil Work
Some of the benefits are: reduced foundation design and construction, no oil pit or collection system and firewalls between units needed, reduced weight and a more simple protection scheme.
Shorter Delivery time
Shorter lead times compared to oil immersed shunt reactors.
Minimal Maintenance efforts & cost
Only visual inspection and periodic cleaning of the windings. No Buchholz relay, OTI, WTI, MOLG, to maintain or replace. No oil sampling, no DGA and cap-tan delta measurement.
Superior Reliability
Ground insulation with support insulators. Important for the reliability of a dry air core reactor due to self-healing of porcelain in case of a dielectric breakdown (flashover) to ground.
Higher recyclability
Simple construction, lightweight and aluminum being the majority of the content, air core dry type reactors have a higher recyclability compared to heavy oil filled shunt reactor.
PRODUCT APPLICATIONS
Air Core Dry Type Shunt Reactors
Effective compensation for capacitive reactive power of transmission and distribution networks
With a long list of references for projects around the world, Trench has progressively expanded its range of dry air core shunt reactors up to 550kV operating voltage in the recent years.
