New Delhi, Oct. 5

Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd (BHEL) has received its first commercial order for an indigenously developed Controlled Shunt Reactor (CSR), a device used in high voltage transmission lines. The order was received for supply, erection, testing and commissioning of an 80 MVAR, 400kv CSR at Karad Substation on Karad-Lonikand line on a turnkey basis from Maharashtra State Electricity Transmission Company Ltd, a BHEL release said.

The contract would be completed in 18 months and the CSR's reactor transformer would be manufactured at BHEL's Bhopal plant. As CSRs can be taken out of the circuit even in loaded line conditions, 25-30 per cent more power can be transmitted through improvement in voltage profile compared to a fixed shunt reactor configuration, it said.
