Maximize Voltage Stability with Air-Core Reactors

Air Core Reactors: The Ultimate Solution for Modern Power Grids

Now it is more critical than ever to maintain power quality against harmonics and voltage surges for global power grids. Traditional iron-core reactors are heavy, requiring complex oil insulation. They bring magnetic saturation risks that may destabilize filtering networks during switching operations. LTECPower’s air-core reactors can deliver you a highly efficient, linear solution for power utilities and heavy industrial substations.

Zero Saturation Risk (100% Linear Response)

With a completely ironless design, which is perfect for shielding fault current limiting and transient damping, our air-core reactors’ impedance remains absolutely constant from minimum operating current up to maximum short-circuit faults.

Optimized Natural Cooling

With premium epoxy-impregnated fiberglass and separated parallel winding cylinders, the reactors can maximize the natural convection. In the end, keep your equipment running cool without forced air.

Extreme Structural Strength

The robust, bolt-free construction provides your electrical connections with superior dielectric integrity and makes them easily withstand extreme seismic forces and violent short-circuit stresses.

Oil-Free & Zero Maintenance

Without a zero fire hazard, our air-core reactors can simply your shipping logistics and ongoing maintenance over their long lifespan.

Air-Core Reactor Technology: Zero Maintenance, Maximum Safety

Linear Fault Protection Under Severe Short Circuits

Linear Fault Protection Under Severe Short Circuits

When facing critical limits, especially under extreme short-circuit faults, iron-core reactors quickly saturate, and their filtering ability drops sharply. With an ironless design, our air-core reactors can maintain perfect linear impedance even under maximum short-circuit currents. By reliably limiting massive fault currents, the reactors shield your downstream breakers, switchgear, and high-voltage substation gear. With no tuning drift and core saturation, they can also prevent your harmonic filter networks from detuning, and ensure you have non-stop grid protection and clean power quality.

Eco-Friendly and Fire-Safe Design for Critical Environments

Eco-Friendly and Fire-Safe Design for Critical Environments

Environmental compliance and fire safety are non-negotiable in modern power system planning. Featuring an oil-free design, our air-core reactors eliminate the oil leakage risk to cut your expensive oil containment tanks, continuous monitoring gear, and regular fluid testing costs. Built with an advanced fiberglass encapsulation, the reactors are safe for immediate installation in dense indoor factories, urban substations, and environmentally sensitive zones.

What are the primary installation advantages of an air-core reactor compared to an iron-core reactor?

100% linear protection and eco-friendly, safe, our air-core reactors never suffer from magnetic saturation to ensure you the reliable limiting of massive fault current spikes when your system needs it most.

Yes. The air core reactors naturally generate an external stray magnetic field during operation. So, they need to maintain the specified “magnetic clearance distance” to prevent the stray magnetic field from interacting with nearby metal structures or perimeter fences. 

Absolutely. Designed for both indoor and outdoor installations, our air-core reactors can be applied in both harsh outdoor and indoor environments. Built with heavy-duty, weatherproof fiberglass, the reactors can keep all moisture and dust out. Coated with a premium protective enamel, they ensure you long-term UV and corrosion resistance.

Pairing seamlessly with capacitor banks to form a tuned LC circuit, our air-core reactors can contribute to power quality improvement in harmonic filter applications. Never suffering from magnetic saturation, the reactors can stay 100% constant across all current levels to prevent the filter circuit from “detuning.”

Built with heavy-duty solid insulation and 100% oil-free construction, our air-core reactors are solid-state and fluid-free. So they can run reliably for over three decades with unmatched durability.
