DETUNED FILTER REACTORS
Detuned Filter Reactors, are used in series with capacitors in power factor correction units - AKRE.
By using these types of detuned reactors it is possible to avoid following negative effects on system.
• Overcurrect during switching on the capacitor banks
• Overload of capacitors because of the harmonic resonance.
• Short lifetime on capacitors
• Overheating of the utility transmission cables.
• Overheating of the distribution transformer.
• Unintended triggering of the protective devices.
• Distortion of utility voltage waveform and problems on voltage sensitive devices
• Interferences on data transmission systems
• Unexplainable faults in electronic boards
Choosing the correct detuned filter reactor and capacitor value on detuned power factor correction systems
is very important. To obtain optimum performance form a detuned power factor correction system following
criteria must be controlled and met during the pairing of the reactors and capacitors.
• The resonance frequency must be chosen according to harmonic analysis of the system
• The voltage across the terminals of the capacitor will increase because of the inductive reaction of the rector.
The rated voltage of the capacitors must be chosen according to the resonance frequency.
• In detuned power factor correction systems, presence of higher voltage rated capacitors and reactors causes
a difference between rated capacitor power and obtained reactive power. The obtained power must be calculated
in order to avoid low compensation.
• The reactors will genereate extensive heat dur to heavy harmonic load on them. The cabinets must be
designed to disperse this heat.

Most common mistake made at detuned filter applications is chosing inappropriate reactor and capacitor pairs. Especially the reactors stated in manufacturer cataloques are used in conjunction with a specifict capacitor value. While chosing the necessary capacitor reactor pair, the selection tables in catalogs must be controlled to ensure that proper pair is chosen, if a different brand capacitor is going to be chosen, the capacity value must be the same as the original. In a mismatchcase the resonance frequency willshift and cause severeproblems for the system.
