How line reactor eliminate nuisance tripping ?
Transients due to switching on the utility line and harmonics from the drive system can cause intermittent tripping of circuit breakers. Furthermore, modern switchgear, equipped with solid-state trip sensing devices, is designed to react to peak current rather than RMS current. As switching transients can peak over 1000 volts on a 600 volt system, the resulting over-voltage will cause undesirable interruptions.
A reactor added to your circuit restricts the surge current by utilizing its inductive characteristics and mitigates nuisance tripping. The impedance of a transformer will have similar effects.
