DETUNED REACTOR- MRI

MRI reactors are used to limit the inrush peak cur- rent to less than 100 times the rated current of the bank of capacitors. The inrush current peak is due to the transitory phenomena of high amplitude and high frequency that are generated when the bank of capacitors cuts in on the supply network; this peak is consi- derably accentuated when a bank of capacitors is inserted in parallel with other banks that are already energized. The reactors are single phase with an air core and copper winding
