RC FILTER BANKS
(DAMPING CIRCUIT)
Transient Damping and Transformer Protection for MV Shunt Reactor Switching
RC filter bank systems are high-voltage transient damping solutions designed to suppress chopping currents and transient overvoltages that occur when high-power shunt reactors are switched in or out.
By absorbing the high-frequency oscillations that can result from MV reactor switching, Enersolix RC filter systems
-
protect the network,
-
and isolate transformer tertiary windings from sudden voltage stress.
What Does It Do?
-
Damps chopping currents during MV shunt reactor switching
-
Suppresses insulation stress caused by transient overvoltages
-
Protects the tertiary windings of large transformers from high-frequency stress
-
Extends the dielectric life of system equipment
-
Prevents arcing and resonance effects during switching
