Magnetically controlled reactors (MCR) are variable inductance devices that provide continuously adjustable reactive power compensation for power transmission and distribution systems. Unlike fixed reactors or switched capacitor banks, MCR technology enables stepless voltage regulation and dynamic reactive power control by adjusting the DC bias current in the control winding, which changes the core saturation level and thereby regulates the inductive reactance.
Yulan Transformer manufactures MCR units designed for substation reactive power compensation, transmission line voltage support, and industrial power quality improvement. Our magnetically controlled reactors are built using the same core manufacturing and testing infrastructure as our power transformers and special purpose transformers, including 1200kV impulse testing and 400kV partial discharge free testing capabilities.
As a manufacturer specializing in both transformers and reactors, we also produce integrated MCR-transformer units that combine voltage transformation and inductive reactive power regulation within a single electromagnetic structure, reducing footprint and installation costs for substation projects.
Typical applications include: reactive power compensation in 35kV–110kV substations, dynamic voltage regulation for long transmission lines, harmonic filtering support in industrial networks, and power factor correction for large motor loads and arc furnace installations.
