The need for large shunt reactors appeared when long power transmission lines for system voltage 220 kV & higher were built. The characteristic parameters of a line are the series inductance (due to the magnetic field around the conductors) & the...
In alternating-current power systems for protection against excessively large currents under short-circuit or transient conditions. Series reactor are connected in series with the line or feeder.Basically reactors are used for fault current...
