Major fault protection for dry type reactors can be achieved trough overcurrent, differential, or negative-sequence relaying schemes, or by a combination of these relaying schemes. 109-2023, IEEE Guide for the Protection of Shunt Reactors represents a significant update over the previous version published in 2006. As is characteristic of an IEEE guide, it presents many generally accepted practices and it is up to the user to select those that best fit within their. Abstract—San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) has initiated a project to upgrade and document protection schemes for the overall system. Shunt reactors are applied for extra-high-voltage (EHV) lines. This technical article explains the protection practices applied to shunt reactors and capacitors as well as to static var compensators (SVCs) and static compensators (STATCOMs). Figure 1 illustrates the design concept of a dry-type, air-core reactor. 1) winding 2) winding conductor 3) spider 4) terminal 5) duct stick 6) protective roof/shed 7) base insulator 8) mounting bracket.
