Description
The product represented by this dataset is an oil-immersed reactor, namely a reactor using insulating oil as the insulating and cooling medium, with a single-unit weight of about 4.66 kg, mainly composed of silicon steel, magnet wire and insulating oil, etc., manufactured through processes such as bobbin manufacturing, winding, insulation and assembly. The key upstream raw materials of this product are silicon steel, magnet wire and insulating oil, etc., and the downstream is mainly applied to power system stability, electronic equipment protection and precise signal control. As for the system boundary, infrastructure such as the manufacture of production equipment and plant construction is not included within the dataset boundary. In terms of data sources and data processing, the data inventory is formed by merging data from multiple sources, and energy such as electricity is calculated using China's average energy mix.
Activity Description
The system boundary covers the oil-immersed reactor from cradle to gate, starting with raw-material inputs and ending when the finished oil-immersed reactor leaves the factory. The main stages, in sequence, are frame manufacture (silicon steel), winding (electromagnetic wire), insulation (insulating oil), and assembly.
Process Description
Reactors are electrical components in circuits that use inductance to resist changes in current. They are mainly divided into dry-type reactors and oil-immersed reactors. Reactors play an important role in the fields of power system stability, electronic equipment protection, and precise signal control by virtue of their current control capabilities. Oil-immersed reactor refers to a reactor that uses insulating oil as the insulation and cooling medium. It is mainly composed of a skeleton (silicon steel), a coil (wound by electromagnetic wire) and insulating oil. It is in the form of a bench-mounted or cabinet-mounted reactor. It is widely used in power system stability, electronic equipment protection and precise signal control.

Technology comment
The production of oil-immersed reactors mainly includes frame manufacturing, winding, insulation and assembly processes. The enameled wire is wound to form a coil, and after being assembled with the frame into an assembly, it is insulated with insulating oil and then assembled to produce the finished oil-immersed reactor.
