How to determine harmonic frequencies and select matching reactors?

2025-12-25

1)The load harmonic components can be measured by using a power quality analyzer.


2)The selection of reactance rate depends on the lowest-order harmonics generated by the load and the harmonic content, which can effectively avoid system parallel resonance.


For 3rd harmonics – reactors with 14.8% reactance rate are recommended

For 5th harmonics – reactors with 6% or 7% reactance rate are recommended
