Reactors vs. Current Limiting Protectors

In this short video, G&W Electric Global Product Manager Jimmy Bou shares real-world insights on how reactors and current limiting protectors behave during faults—and what engineers should consider.

Understand how impedance-based protection can introduce voltage sag, efficiency losses, and system constraints.

See how clearing faults faster reduces equipment stress and arc flash risk.

Learn how current limiting protectors interrupt faults in less than half an electrical cycle and deliver high ROI in just 2-3 years.
