110 kV dry type air-core shunt reactor plays such important role as improvement of reactive power distribution

reduction of active power loss and improvement of power transmission efficiency in light load transmission line. It is one of the key of 110 kV reactive power compensation equipment of the tertiary winding of the main transformer in 1 000 kV UHV AC transmission project and its seismic performance is also of great importance. Based on Ximeng-Shandong 1 000 kV UHV AC transmission project

the main technical parameters and seismic requirement of the 110 kV dry type air core shunt reactor is described firstly in this paper. Then

the parameters of the seismic bench

seismic input waveform

displacement as well as layout position of the strain measurement point are introduced in detail. And the seismic simulation bench test is performed on the 110 kV dry-type air-core shunt reactor.The test results indicate that: Firstly

the actually measured maximum acceleration of the bench is greater than 0.4g and seismic wave of the seismic test meets the requirement of seismic level up to 9 degree;Secondly

the fundamental frequency variation of the reactor at horizontal direction（X direction）is less through comparison before and after the seismic test and it can be considered that rigidity of the reactor is basically unchanged before and after the test and with almost no damage; Thirdly

considering the combination load of self-weight

terminal force load and wind load multiplying with corresponding coefficient

the minimum safety coefficient of insulators is 2.94

which is greater than 1.67 required in standard and meet the requirements of 9 degree seismic fortification intensity. This seismic simulation bench test of 110 kV dry-type air-core reactor can provide reference for the research on seismic performance performance of dry-type air-core reactor in the future.
