The DC smoothing reactor is installed on the DC side of the converter, where the current contains both DC and AC components. Its primary function is to limit the superimposed AC ripple within a specified range. It is also used in the DC side coupling of parallel inverters to reduce discontinuous upper limits and suppress circulating currents in the loop.
In addition, the reactor helps limit the current rise rate during fast DC switch fault interruption, ensuring system protection. It is also widely applied in both current-source and voltage-source inverters for DC link smoothing, as well as in rectifier power supplies to eliminate ripple and stabilize output performance.
I. Overview
The DC smoothing reactor is used on the DC side of converters, where the current flowing through the reactor is DC with an AC component. Its function is to limit the AC component superimposed on the DC current within a specified value. It is also used for coupling on the DC side of parallel inverters to limit circulating current in the loop, for restricting the current rise rate during DC fast switch fault interruption, and for smoothing DC in the intermediate circuits of current-source and voltage-source inverters. Additionally, it can be applied in rectifier power supplies for ripple suppression.
Product Features:
The DC smoothing reactor is mainly used in circuits to improve power quality and increase power factor. The reactors produced by our factory are made of cold-rolled silicon steel sheets with precision processing, consisting mainly of a core and winding. The core generally adopts a double-column structure, formed by stacking multiple silicon steel laminations separated by insulating plates to prevent magnetic saturation. The yoke is a square yoke, and after assembly, it is compressed tightly by tension bolts to reduce noise. This product is dry-type, self-cooled, with two insulation classes: Class B and Class F. It features compact size, low temperature rise, and low noise.
