Starting Resistor

Product Description:

And the application of ceramic shell starting resistors is suitable for SVG STATCOM、 When starting a flexible DC transmission system, the instantaneous surge current generated during start-up can cause damage to the power grid and equipment. Setting a starting resistor can effectively reduce the starting current of equipment (transformers, motors), ensuring safe operation of the equipment. After the start-up process is completed, the resistor can be cut off through a bypass switch. For systems with rectifier components at the back end, the starting resistor can limit the charging current of the power grid to the module DC energy storage capacitor, protecting the converter valve and related equipment from high current stress and energy impact of high current changes, ensuring equipment safety.
