Meher Advanced Materials

INDFARAD Technologies, a company belonging to the MEHER Group, dealing with passive components in the domain of reactive power compensation, offers a proven range of aesthetically designed, reliable medium-voltage air-core reactors for application in reactive power compensation. Reactors have a very wide spectrum of applications, from power system stabilization at the high end to motor starting at the basic level, as well as in power electronic equipment. However, the most common applications are for limiting switching current surges in capacitor circuits (see over leaf) and for protecting capacitors from the harmful effects of harmonics in electrical networks. For such applications the reactor values range between 0.2 % and 6 %, calculated as the ratio of inductive impedance (Xl) to capacitive impedance (Xc) at the nominal system frequency of 50 Hz.

INDFARAD’S experience in the design and production of reactors dates back to 2002 when iron-cored reactors were developed for current limiting and detuning functions for LV applications. The MEHER Group’s deep involvement in the field of MV and HV reactive power compensation on turn-key basis gave a natural impetus to the inhouse development of air-cored reactors by INDFARAD. Several deliveries made over the years have stood the test of time, thanks to the exacting demands of discerning users.

INDFARAD air core reactors have been delivered for use in a wide range of industrial environment. Amongst the reputed clients INDFARAD has been privileged to have served are Chettinad Cements, Orient Cements, Praxair, Larsen and Toubro, Reliance DKAC and GE (for Zubair, Iraq).
