The twin demands for higher power quality and better network utilization are leading to the increasing use of static VAR compensators (SVC’s) and manually switched capacitor damping networks (MSCDN’s) in high-voltage three phase distribution networks throughout the world.
 Damping resistors are an essential component of such an installations, acting to dissipate unwanted harmonic power in a safe, controlled and reliable way.
TPR builds such resistors to meet the stringent operating conditions of customers such as National Grid-Transco in the UK and its counterparts overseas. |
Our design expertise in this field is well known. TPR is able to offer compact, type-tested designs for all HV filter applications, using any of several different resistor technologies and configurations.
We frequently make use of low-inductance expanded mesh resistor elements for easy matching with capacitors and inductors.
Filter resistors are also an essential component in HVDC converter stations, where they act as part of the harmonic filters used to dissipate unwanted harmonics produced by the solid-state converters. |
