Thyristor Controlled Shunt Reactors

Thyristor Controlled Shunt Reactors are extensively used in static VAR systems, where
reactive VARs are adjusted by thyristor circuits. Static VAR compensator reactor applications
normally include:
• Thyristor controlled shunt reactors (TCR). The compensating power
is changed by controlling the current through the reactor by
means of the thyristor valves.
• Thyristor switched reactors (TSR)

• Thyristor switched capacitor reactors (TSC)

• Filter reactors (FR)
