A Weird Dilemma

07/02/2015 9:29 PM

Hello. I wonder why are the values related to a detuned harmonic filter reactor in terms of kvar so close to capacitor banks' while the value given as p:5,67 , 7, 14 etc means that in a filter design, those reactors impedance and capacitor banks ratio is as low as these numbers. Since the reactor and capacitor is in series, power is proportional to impedances (At most a ratio of 1,73 comes from delta branch of the bank) so why do we oversize these reactors while designing!

I hazard a guess: because it turned out during operation that you need it? What you calculate is not what you get and what you get is not what you calculate.

Just a guess!

Or follow the money: "Use of other non-matching value capacitor with the reactor voids all warranty"

Power is only proportional to impedances if the harmonic voltages are all the same!
