Shunt reactor are generally employed at the end of long transmission line. During charging of line due to ferranti effect receiving end voltage increases dangerously to control this shunt reactors are used.

For extra-high-voltage (EHV) transmission lines, due to the long distance, the space between the overhead line and the ground naturally forms a capacitor parallel to the transmission line, which causes an increase of voltage along the distance. Depending on the distance, the profile of the line and the power being transmitted, a Shunt Reactor is necessary either at the line terminals or in the middle. The advanced design and production technology will ensure the product has low loss and low noise level.
Series Reactors
When the network becomes larger, sometimes the short-circuit current on a transmission line will exceed the short-circuit current rating of the equipment. Upgrading of system voltage, upgrading of equipment rating or employing high-impedance Transformers are far more expensive than installing oil-immersed Series Reactors in the line.

What is reactor period in nuclear engineering?
Reactor period is the time is takes for a reactor's power to increase by a factor of e (2.71828).
What is an autoclave reactor?
a reactor is generally termed as an autoclave reactor,when it is a high pressure batch reactor.mostly this kind of reactors are used for sterilization the reactants..
What are feeder reactors?
Probable you think to a breeder reactor; this type of nuclear reactor produce more fissile material than it consumes.
What is the coolant used in kalpakkam power station in India?
Kalpakkam has both Thermal reactor (Madras Atomic Power Station) and Fast Breeder Reactor -FBTR and PFBR (Under construction). In MAPS (thermal reactor) it is Heavy Water (D2O) Which acts as a coolant as well as moderator, where as in Fast Breeder Test Reactor (FBTR) and Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor (PFBR) Sodium (Na) is used as coolant. Since there should not any moderators for fast reactors D2O will not be used as coolant in fast reactors.
What is the name of the mini reactor in Kalpakkam in India?
Kamini
What is the purpose of the reactor chamber in a nuclear reactor?
neutron absorber
What is a shunt reactor?
A shunt reactor absorbs reactive power and increases the energy efficiency of any system. It is a small device used for power compensation in high voltage transmission lines and cable systems.
How generator operates?
It works with two reactor coils for excitation of the field reactor coil , which in turn provides current to the field. The two reactor coils are connected in shunt and series with the output of the generator stator or armature ( from where load is connected).
What is the purpose of the iron in the reactor in the haber process?
The purpose of the iron in the reactor in the haber process is to speed up the reaction.
How compound generator operates?
A compound generator is a type of generator that has both series and shunt field windings. The series winding adds to the main field flux, providing good starting torque and limiting voltage droop under load. The shunt winding ensures stable voltage regulation at normal load conditions by adjusting the generator terminal voltage. This combination of windings allows the generator to provide stable output voltage across a wide range of loads.
What is shunt reactors?
A shunt reactor absorbs reactive power and increases the energy efficiency of any system. It is a small device used for power compensation in high voltage transmission lines and cable systems.
What is the Difference between shunt capacitor and shunt reactor?
One is a capacitor and one is a reactor. Shunted capacitors are used to raise th voltage in the power system, while shunt reactors are used to lower it. Capacitors are typically installed close to load because of this; reactors are typically on very high power lines where the capacitance of the power line can cause severe overvoltages when loading is light, and at large generating stations.
What is the purpose a nuclear reactor?
To produce heat.
Are shunt reactors used in nuclear reactors?
Answer 1. The only shunt reactors I know are used on transmission lines to alter power factor. This is nothing to do with the nuclear reactor in a power plant.Answer 2. I agree. Shunt reactors are use on transmission line and EHV to boost voltage, to generate VARs and for power factor correction.
What is the function of graphite in a nuclear reactor?
It's purpose is to slow down fast neutrons that maybe present in the reactor.
What is the purpose of a reaction chamber in a nuclear reactor?
neutron absorber
What is the purpose of the cadmium rods in a nuclear fission reactor?
Cadmium is a very strong absorber of neutrons and therefore can be used to control the chain reaction and to shutdown the reactor when required. Boron is also often used for the same purpose.
