Does anyone know what the typical inrush magnitude and time to decay is for a shunt connected air cored reactor ? I would imagine it can be a maximum of 2 x rating as there will be no remenant flux, and will be over with pretty quick due to no iron to be magnetized. I'm looking at a reactor size of approx 1 MVAr (3 phase) at 415V.

Thanks...
