The paper presents the experimental results of performance evaluation of two types of Arc Suppression Reactors (ASRs): traditional (plunger-type) and Magnetically Controlled (MC-type). The aperiodic component in reactor current is observed and its influence on reactors response speed is analyzed. It is shown that the delay in complete capacitive earth-fault current compensation is determined mostly by aperiodic component and not by forcing of magnetic excitation of MC-type ASRs. From this point of view ASRs of both type show similar performance and the criterion for their correct comparison is still has to be discovered.
