N2 - This paper describes a three-dimensional reluctance network analysis (RNA) of an EIE-core variable inductor, which can be applied as a reactive power compensator in electric power systems. First, a three-dimensional RNA model of an EIE-core considering the magnetic saturation and iron loss is presented. Using the proposed RNA model with external electric circuits, operating characteristics of the variable inductor including the iron loss are calculated accurately. Next, high performance of a 6.6 kV-300 kVA reactive power compensator using the EIE-core variable inductor is demonstrated in a distribution system.
