MV cabling, UPSs, electronic balanced lighting elements are capacitive. Shunt reactors are needed to meet reactive power needs and maintain reactive proportions at the desired limits in businesses with such loads.

As days go by, the load profile of the businesses shows a change. Previously, only the compensation made by connecting the capacitor was sufficient. But now, the number of devices with capacitive characteristics in enterprises is continuously increasing. It is therefore necessary to use shunt reactors with capacitors for accurate compensation. The size of the shunt reactor to be used depends on the size of the enterprises and the load profile. Once the plant is analyzed correctly, the most appropriate shunt reactor should be selected considering the cost.
