Current Stabilization for Improving Electromagnetic Compatibility of Highly Varying Loads by Use of Saturable Reactor

Power quality control in the case of powerful abruptly variable loads, e.g. electric arc furnaces, becomes an actual problem due to the deregulation of electricity markets. A way to mitigate distortions on a power supply network, especially the flicker, is load current stabilization. The saturable reactor is proposed as a solution.
