Part of the Smart Wires Guardian product family, this technology increases a line’s reactance, pushing power away from that line and onto other underutilized paths on the grid.

A reactance compensation distribution constant line (31) compensates the reactance (BL, XS) of a load (6).

A setting section (14) sets the reactance of the plurality of variable reactance elements (13).

An end of a reactor (34) is connected to a junction between first and second switching elements (31, 32), while the other end of the reactor (34) is connected to the second line (L2).

Consequently, the effective reactance per unit length of the transmission line is varied depending on a signal voltage.

The said first series reactance ratio is different from the said second series reactance ratio.

The reactor (L1) and the diode (D11) are connected to each other in series on a power line (LH1).

For instance, net inductance can be compensated for by turning capacitive banks on and off.

The reactor (L2) and the diode (D21) are connected to each other in series on a power line (LH2).

A reactance value setting part (14) sets the reactance values of a plurality of variable reactance elements (13) for each angle as changed by the angle control part (11).

Of transformers and inductors

A controller (100) changes the directivity of the array antenna by changing the reactance Xn of the variable-reactance element (23).

Of transformers and inductors

The first and second reactance parts (18, 20) have a substantially identical reactance X.

The adjustment circuit is functionally a short transmission line, which is 'seen' by the resonator as a reactance of a certain value.
