TEST LABORATORY REACTORS

TEST LABORATORY REACTORS

Test laboratory reactors are designed in high voltage and high power test laboratories. They are designed to withstand the most extreme service conditions during test periods. Design techniques must be implemented in accordance with the most demanding service conditions. These reactors are used for various purposes in test laboratories such as current limiting and synthetic testing of circuit breakers, capacitor testing, artificial line simulation etc.

ADVANTAGES
  • Maximum mechanical strength to withstand high short-circuit forces.
  • Limited temperature rise enables longer lifetime.
  • Maintenance-free design


    STANDARD
    EN 60289 or depending on customer requirements.
  • FEATURES
  • Air core
  • Dry type
  • Side by side, delta or vertical arrangement depending on space availability
  • Indoor
  • Aluminum or copper winding
  • RAL 7032 or other colors
  • - 40 ºC / + 55 ºC ambient temperature range
  • F class (155 ºC) or customer specific design
  • Fiberglass resin spacers are used in order to provide ease of cooling when necessary
  • AN (air-natural) cooling method
  • INSULATION
    . F class (155 ºC) film insulation or epoxy resin reinforced fiberglass.
    . Epoxy based paint & insulating varnish.

    INSTALLATION
    The height and the diameter of the reactor can be adjusted to customer specific needs in order to meet unusual space requirements.

    Complete installation guidelines are provided with the reactors in order to meet required magnetic clearances on close metallic structures. Each reactor is supplied with an INSTALLATION GUIDELINES that specifies minimum magnetic clearances for the reactor.

    SUPPORT STANDS
    Aluminum, hot dip galvanized steel or concrete support stands are designed for specific applications.

    LOSSES
    All Hilkar Electric reactors are computer designed in order to minimize investment and operating losses.

    TESTS
    All the routine tests are performed in accordance with EN 60289 or other standards depending on customer request. Type test reports are available on request. All the test reports are submitted to customer.

    Basic testing program includes some or all of the following tests:
    • Routine Tests (Inductance, Resistance, One Minute AC Insulation Voltage Withstand Test and Impulse Voltage Withstand Test)
    • Short Circuit Withstand Test
    • Temperature Rise Test
    • Sound Level Test
    • Seismic Test
