What are some applications for saturable reactors?
Saturable reactors can be used on practically any application requiring a variable voltage, or even a constant voltage with a varying input. Some common applications are: 1. Control temperature of ovens or other heating devices. 2. Control temperature of molten glass. 3. Reduce KVA demand of equipment requiring high starting current. 4. Reversing 3 phase motors without requiring heavy switches or contactors. 5. Motor starting and speed control. 6. Maintain a constant current in a load. 7. Produce variable direct current voltages when used in conjunction with a rectifier.
