IEEE Draft Standard for Requirements, Terminology, and Test Code for Dry-Type Air-Core Series-Connected Reactors

Recommendations are given for reactors intended for series connection, in both transmission and distribution systems, to control power flow under steady-state conditions and/or limit fault current under short-circuit conditions. Dry-type air-core reactors covered by this standard are self-cooled by natural air convection. Other reactors, including filter reactors, shunt capacitor reactors (used with shunt capacitor banks), and discharge current-limiting reactors (used with 5 series capacitor banks) and AC-side converter reactors are also covered.
