The analytical methods for calculating magnetic fluxes and losses in steel in one- and three-phase shunt reactors with the location of tie rods in the middle and outside the main leg of the magnetic system have been developed and presented in this article. For this purpose, finite element modelling was used, and nonlinear magnetic equivalent circuits were substantiated. The results of the calculation of the main and stray losses in the magnetic system have been compared with their estimates obtained by the typical tests of the reactors.

This article aims to present the development of a methodology for the analytical calculation of magnetic fluxes based on nonlinear magnetic equivalent circuits. It also presents the basics of the stray losses calculation in the magnetic systems of shunt reactors containing legs with nonmagnetic gaps.
