Details
Current Limiting Reactor (CLR)
Rated Voltage: Up to 500 kV
Core Function
Connected in series with power systems to:
1.Limit short-circuit currents from grid expansions to levels manageable by existing equipment
2.Protect critical assets: Transformers, switchgear, and cables
3.Reduce fault duration: Enables selective coordination of protection relays
4.Minimize voltage sag: Maintains >85% voltage during faults
