CSN® Filter- and Damping Resistors

For the majority of the CSN® Filter- and Damping Resistors the design is based on CSN® Resistor Webs. The resistor units provide operation at high continuous power, excellence voltage strength and low inductivity while needing only little space.

CSN® Filter Resistors are used in HVDC applications as well as in reactive power compensation applications (like SVC, MSCDN, STATCOM) all over the world and have proven their reliability – even under harsh environmental conditions – for long time periods.

CSN® Damping Resistors are most often used for building-up RC-circuits in industrial plants as well as for damping of magnetic cores and reactors.

The CSN® Filter- and Damping Resistors are characterized by:

• proven design for both, indoor and outdoor applications
• excellent high voltage strength
• high specific load due to very good convection conditions
• low inductance and capacity
• long-term stability
• low weight
• nearly unlimited adaptability to specified applications

Filter resistors with rated max. cont. power up to 7540 kW and insulation levels of up to 1075 kV_BIL across the resistor live part have been delivered by Schniewindt. Every single CSN® Filter- and Damping Resistor is manufactured according to individual customer requirements.
