Air Core Reactors

Air core reactors have a core made of air or non-ferrous or non-conductive material. This makes them ideal for very high frequencies. Free of ferromagnetic material, they avoid saturation, eddy current losses and hysteresis losses.

Air core reactors from MANGOLDT effectively limit switching peaks and inrush currents in compensation systems. Optimally designed for the rated current and load conditions of capacitors, the reactors attenuate the incoming currents so that the internal coatings and connections are reliably protected.

As current limiting reactors, MANGOLDT air core reactors are primarily used to limit short-circuit currents in downstream power supplies. As a result, the switching devices, cables and other elements present here can be designed for a significantly lower short-circuit power.
