FSi Range
Reactor connected (detuned) Capacitors can be installed which are designed to prevent system resonance. They can also be designed to reduce the level of harmonics as indicated below.
Blocking Reactor System
This reactor / capacitor combination is designed to have a resonant frequency of 189Hz. In this case, system resonance is avoided and approximately 17 to 20% of the 5th harmonic current can be absorbed. This is suitable for variable loads.
Partial Filter System
Here the reactor / capacitor combination is designed to resonate at a frequency of 210Hz, again system resonance’s are avoided and approximately 40 to 50% of the 5th harmonic current can be absorbed. This is suitable for variable loads where harmonic reduction is also required.
Full Filter System
In this system the capacitor / reactor legs are tuned to a given harmonic frequency producing almost zero impedance to that harmonic current. Therefore most of the current is absorbed by the filter. This type of filter is typically constructed with multiple legs, each being tuned to a specific harmonic frequency and can realistically reduce the harmonic current flowing in the supply network by up to 90%. Ideally, this is suited for constant loads.

Power Factor is the ratio of
“useful” power to “total” power consumed by an item of electrical plant. Electrical equipment requiring the creation of a magnetic field to operate, for
example: Motors
& motor driven machines
will all draw a current which is said to ‘lag’ behind the
voltage thus, producing a “lagging” Power Factor. Capacitors contained in most Power Factor Correction Equipment draw current that
is said to ’lead’ the voltage, thus producing a “leading” Power Factor. If Capacitors are
connected to a circuit that operates at a nominally lagging power factor, the
extent that the circuit lags is reduced proportionately. Circuits having no
resultant leading or lagging component are said to operate at a “unity” (1)
power factor, and the total energy consumed is equal to the useful energy
