Global Shunt Reactor Market by Product Type, Form Factor, Voltage Application, End-Use Industry, and Region - Global Market Size Estimation, Industry-Wide Analysis, Competitive Landscape Assessment & Long-Term Forecast to 2034
Overview
Shunt Reactor Market size is expected to reach US$ 4.9 Bn by 2034, at a CAGR of 4.5% during the forecast period.
The shunt reactor is the same as the power transformer but it has only one winding per phase as compared to the power transformer. Shunt reactors are used to increase the power and energy system efficiency as it absorbs & compensates the reactive power in cables and long high voltage transmission lines. The maximum rated voltage of the shunt reactors is nowadays 800 kV and rated power goes up to 300 MVA. Same like power transformers, shunt reactors may be designed like Oil-immersed and Dry-type the transformer as well
