Current limiting reactors, also known as series reactors, are mostly used to increase the impedance at the right place in order to limit the short circuit currents and/or controlling load balance between parallel lines.
Hitachi Energy’s series reactors are usually the magnetically shielded air core design, the electromagnetic coil is connected in series in the electric circuit. Series reactors may also be equipped with an on-load tap-changer (OLTC).
