What is an MCSR?
MCSR is a three-phase static device operating on the
principle of continuous regulation of inductive
reactance and can be used to:
a) Provide inductive reactance to compensate for the
effects of high charging current of long
transmission lines and pipe-type cables
b) Compensation of reactive power and stabilization
of voltage level in HV/EHV electric networks

Design of MCSR
Three-phase shunt reactors may consist of:
a) Three-leg or
b) Five-leg design (alternatively shell type)
)For transmission voltages the Five-leg core
type or shell type are mainly used
)They make the three phases magnetically
