A project manager from CIC’s Taipei Head Office Team recently visited a CIC factory in Taoyuan City to inspect a batch of Air-Core Reactors.
These handsome and impressive reactors, 30 in total number, have been specially made for Taiwan Power Company, complete with enclosures for outdoor application. The stainless-steel enclosure boxes are quite heavy – each weighing 754 kg (1,662 lbs.)! Each air-core reactor in its enclosure box, complete with accessories, weighs 1,700 kg (3,748 lbs.)!
An air-core reactor is a type of detuned reactor (or series reactor). What distinguishes an air-core reactor from the others is its “air-core” design, which contributes to lower core loss and reduces noise, when compared with other dry-type reactors that make use of silicon steel lamination iron cores. The “air-core” construction also enables these MV single-phase reactors to withstand large short-circuit current, thereby diminishing maintenance needs, enhancing safety, and making them extra durable.
Air-core reactors are usually employed by utility companies for their electrical substations. CIC has been qualified and approved since 2002 to provide these special reactors for use with 12/24 kV capacitor banks in electrical substations.

11Apr 2023 CIC's Air-Core Reactors & Non-Ventilated Transformers in Taipei 101
24 units of CIC's Air-Core Reactors are used inside Taipei 101 (in the electrical substation of Taiwan Power Company). CIC’s Air-Core Reactors are known for their superior quality and are designed to work in conjunction with 25.5 kV/9000 kVAR capacitor banks. These 25.5 kV / 180 kVA dry-type reactors, with a resin-cast exterior, are low-maintenance and long-lasting. The air-core construction contributes to their low noise level and low core loss. In addition, this type of detuned reactor has excellent insulation and are moisture-resistant.
