Power Factor Correction
Detuning Reactors: Protecting Capacitors from Harmonics
Why 7% and 14% reactors matter.
Infivate Electric Team 1 min read
Resonance risk
Capacitors can resonate with system inductance at harmonic frequencies.
How reactors help
They shift resonance below dominant harmonics.
Choosing 7% or 14%
- 7% for 5th harmonic dominated systems
- 14% where 3rd harmonics are significant
Audit first
Measure harmonics before design.
