Stacked Current Limiting Reactor
Stacked Current Limiting Reactor
(OP)
Why is the center coil of a stacked air core current limiting reactor reverse wound? Is it to offset the higher mutual inductance of the center coil? It seems that reverse winding the center coil will exacerbate induced currents external to the reactor since the total flux will no longer cancel. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

I should also mention that when the center phase is wound in the opposite direction then the ohms in the center phase are increased due to the mutual flux between the phases.
