9k┬▒1
A saturated reactor, acting as a static VAR compensator, introduces non-linear magnetizing characteristics into the power system. Due to the symmetry of the saturation curve, the induced harmonic currents produced by the reactor follow the order h=9k┬▒1 for a three-phase configuration utilizing specific transformer connections.

h=9k┬▒1 тАФ Generalized harmonic order for saturated reactors in three-phase configurations
The reactor operates in the deep saturation region of its B-H curve, causing the flux linkage to be non-linear with respect to the magnetizing current. In a three-phase system, when using three single-phase saturated reactors or specific polyphase arrangements, the phase cancellation effects eliminate specific triplen harmonics, leaving only the 9k┬▒1 series (e.g., 8th, 10th, 17th, 19th harmonics).
Saturated reactors are essentially non-linear inductors used for voltage control.
The generation of harmonics is a direct consequence of the non-linear relationship between flux and current in the iron core.
The 9k ┬▒ 1 series is specific to the magnetic circuit architecture of these reactors in FACTS applications.
Provides continuous, fast-acting reactive power compensation.
Excellent for stabilizing voltage in weak transmission systems.
High harmonic distortion necessitates the use of heavy filtering.
Significant noise and vibration due to magnetostriction in the core.
Static VARCompensation (SVC) in long distance transmission lines.
Voltage support in high-voltage industrial distribution grids.
The 6k ┬▒ 1 series is typically associated with standard 6-pulse converter bridges.
The reactor must be designed to withstand high thermal stress due to harmonic currents.
B is correct тАФ Saturated reactors generate harmonics of the order 9k┬▒1 due to the specific saturation characteristics of the multi-phase iron-core magnetic circuit.
In competitive exams, always distinguish between converter-based harmonics (6k┬▒1) and reactor-saturation-based harmonics (9k┬▒1 or others depending on phase configuration).
