Mingri Electric’s precision-engineered switchgear, vacuum breakers, and protection devices seamlessly integrate with CKSG series reactors to deliver stable medium- and low-voltage power networks.
Modern electrical grids are experiencing unprecedented harmonic distortion caused by non-linear loads like variable frequency drives, IGBT rectifiers, and renewable inverters. Discover how Mingri Electric delivers world-class CKSG series filtering reactors engineered to safeguard power factor correction (PFC) banks.
When shunt capacitors are connected to an inductive network, an LC parallel resonant tank is created. Standard power factor installations frequently trigger catastrophic parallel resonance at the 5th, 7th, or 11th harmonic order. CKSG reactors shift the resonant frequency below the lowest prevailing harmonic, creating an inductive network at harmonic frequencies while maintaining capacitive characteristics at fundamental power frequency (50/60 Hz).
Mingri Electric utilizes cold-rolled grain-oriented (CRGO) silicon steel laminations of premium grade (0.23mm–0.30mm thickness). Segmented iron-core construction with multi-gap epoxy-grouted partitions mitigates fringing flux effects and avoids localized hot spots caused by high eddy current losses.
Every CKSG reactor undergoes multiple cycles of automated Vacuum Pressure Impregnation (VPI) with solventless, Class H/C modified polyester resins. This process guarantees void-free encapsulation, exceptional thermal dissipation, complete moisture sealing, and vibration damping under intense electromagnetic pulsation.
High-performance CKSG dry-type iron core series reactors are critical across heavy industrial processes, utility-scale renewables, and critical digital infrastructure where power continuity is mandatory.
Renewable power plants experience high 5th, 7th, 11th, and 13th harmonic current injection from large inverter farms. Series reactors damp transient switching surges during capacitor step switching and protect substation transformers from dynamic resonance events.
With hundreds of switch-mode power supplies (SMPS) and UPS modules operating concurrently, neutral conductors and low-voltage switchboards face critical odd triple harmonics (3rd, 9th, 15th). CKSG-14% configurations attenuate these frequencies, ensuring high PUE and zero downtime.
Electric Arc Furnaces (EAF) and rolling mills create severe voltage flickers and erratic inductive-capacitive swings. High-linearity CKSG reactors maintain magnetic stability up to 2.2 times the rated current without saturating during severe electrode short circuits.
Extensive pump motor arrays controlled by variable frequency drives (VFD) generate relentless 5th and 7th harmonic content. Our customized CKSG series ensures compliant Total Harmonic Distortion (THD_V < 5%, THD_I < 8%) strictly adhering to IEEE 519 standards.
Explore how Mingri Electric’s ongoing engineering breakthroughs are driving the transition from conventional magnetic devices toward intelligent, low-loss, smart-monitored reactors for high-efficiency grid architectures.
Our next-generation CKSG reactor development introduces hybrid amorphous metallic glass sections into the iron-core segments. This cuts core hysteresis loss by up to 38% under high-order harmonic excitation (up to the 25th harmonic order), lowering thermal stress and reducing physical volume by 15-20%.
Modern high-capacity switchgears require predictive condition monitoring. Mingri Electric is deploying built-in optical fiber temperature sensors and magnetic flux differential coils embedded inside CKSG winding layers. Connected via Modbus RS485 or wireless LoRaWAN, they provide real-time thermal gradient and harmonic saturation analytics.
Aligning with global decarbonization policies and EU REACH / RoHS directives, our chemists have synthesized bio-derived ester-based insulating varnishes. These resins provide equivalent Class H (180°C) dielectric breakdown resistance (>25 kV/mm) while cutting volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions during manufacturing to zero.

Situated in Yueqing, Zhejiang—the electric capital of China—Mingri Electric leverages unparalleled localized supply cluster integration, high-precision automated winding systems, and direct port connectivity to deliver superior cost efficiency and lightning-fast project delivery.
Over 95% of tier-1 raw materials—including Baosteel laser-treated CRGO silicon sheets, high-purity electrical copper rod drawing facilities, and Nomex paper insulators—are located within a 45-minute logistics perimeter. This eliminates cross-continental shipping delays for component staging and cushions against geopolitical commodity volatility.

When submitting tenders or issuing Requests for Quotation (RFQs) for CKSG reactors, international procurement teams and EPC consultants should specify the following critical parameters to ensure optimal electrical matching.
Clearly indicate the rated bus nominal voltage (e.g., 400V, 690V, 10kV, 35kV) and the designated capacitor bank reactive output (kvar). Because connecting a series reactor causes a voltage boost across the capacitor terminals equal to Uc = Un / (1 - p), the capacitor rated voltage must be appropriately increased (e.g., specifying 480V capacitors on a 400V grid when using a 7% reactor).
Selection of the reactor rate is determined by the predominant harmonic spectrum present on the distribution bus:
Specify ambient operational temperature thresholds (-25°C to +55°C), maximum site altitude (standard ratings apply up to 1,000m ASL; derating factors apply above), and target ingress protection ratings (standard open frame IP00 for interior panel housing or IP20–IP54 ventilated cabinets for outdoor/standalone deployments).
In-depth technical answers addressing core design, harmonic resonance suppression, thermal performance, and global compatibility.
The CKSG series three-phase dry-type iron core reactor is connected in series with low-voltage or medium-voltage shunt capacitor banks. Its primary function is twofold: first, to suppress high inrush currents during capacitor switching events; second, to prevent harmonic resonance by shifting the system's natural resonant frequency below the lowest harmonic frequency (e.g., below the 5th harmonic for a 7% reactor), thereby protecting capacitors and transformers from destructive harmonic overload.
Iron-core reactors (such as the CKSG series) utilize high-permeability silicon steel laminated cores with precisely calibrated air gaps. This produces a compact physical footprint and restricts the electromagnetic field to the magnetic core circuit, generating virtually zero external magnetic stray flux. In contrast, air-core reactors require extensive clearance space to prevent inductive heating of neighboring metallic structural steel or enclosures, making iron-core reactors the preferred engineering choice for switchgear cubicles and compact substations.
In harmonic-rich electrical environments, current waveforms carry significant peak distortion. If an iron core saturates when harmonic currents surge, its inductance (L) drops sharply. A lower inductance raises the resonant frequency back up toward the harmonic spectrum, triggering the exact catastrophic resonance the reactor was intended to prevent. Mingri Electric CKSG reactors maintain strict linearity (inductance change < 5%) up to 1.8x–2.0x the rated continuous current.
When a reactor is placed in series with a capacitor, inductive reactance opposes capacitive reactance, causing a fundamental frequency voltage rise at the capacitor terminals according to the formula: Uc = Us / (1 - p), where Us is network line-to-line voltage and p is the reactor detuning factor (e.g., 0.07 for 7%). On a 400V grid with a 7% reactor, the capacitor experiences approximately 430V. Consequently, capacitors rated at 480V or 525V must be specified to prevent premature dielectric breakdown.
Because harmonic currents incur additional copper eddy losses and core hysteresis losses, our CKSG reactors feature integrated bimetallic thermal switches (normally closed, opening at 125°C–140°C) or precision PT100 RTD resistance temperature sensors embedded directly inside the center-phase coil windings. These thermal interlocks connect directly to the upstream switchgear trip circuit or automated power factor controller to disconnect the bank before any risk of thermal breakdown.
