Just like a line reactor..
A 3-phase Line Reactor is a set of three (3) coils (also known as windings, chokes or inductors) in one assembly. It is a series device, which means it is connected in the supply line such that all line current flows through the reactor, as shown below. Line Reactors are current-limiting devices and oppose rapid changes in current because of their impedance. They hold down any spikes of current and limit any peak currents. This resistance to change is measured in ohms as the Line Reactor's AC impedance (XL) and is calculated as follows: XL = 2 π f L (ohms), where: f = frequency in hertz (cycles per second) harmonic frequency examples: harmonic (60 Hz)frequency (Hz)5th3007th42011th660 L = reactor inductance in henries (H), millihenries (mH) -- H x 10-3, microhenries (µH) -- H x 10-6 By inspection of the XL formula, the Line Reactor is directly proportional to the frequency (f) and the inductance (L). That is, if the impedance of a Line Reactor is 10 ohms at 60 Hz, then at the 5th harmonic (300 Hz) the impedance is 50 ohms. If the inductance (L) is increased, then the impedance will increase proportionally. This increase in Line Reactor impedance will reduce the current in the line. The higher the frequency (Hertz), the lower the current. A Line Reactor's DC resistance (R-ohms) is very low by design so that the power losses (watts-I2R) are low. Line Reactors are rated by % impedance, voltage and current. However, they are sized by % impedance, voltage and motor horsepower. The motor horsepower determines the necessary current rating for the Line Reactor. Line Reactors are rated by impedance, voltage and current. # Impedance (% impedance of load Z)
The load impedance (Z) is calculated by this formula:
Z = V/I, where Z = load impedance (ohms), V = line voltage (volts), and I = line current (amps)
This percent of load impedance also determines the voltage drop across the Line Reactor. For example, a 5% Line Reactor would have a 5% voltage drop. # Voltage rating
Since a Line Reactor is a current-sensitive device, the voltage rating is needed for dielectric concerns as a maximum voltage and horsepower. It is also used to determine the current rating when given only voltage and horsepower. # Current rating (amperes)
This is the current required by the load(s). It is total current flowing to the load(s) and through the reactor. This current is measured in amperes (amps).
What else can I help you with?
How do you calculate the energy output of a thorium subcritical reactor when you know the neutron flux input?
To calculate the energy output of a thorium subcritical reactor when you know the neutron flux input, you would multiply the neutron flux by the energy produced per neutron capture in the thorium fuel. This can be determined based on the specific design and characteristics of the reactor. By knowing the neutron flux input and the energy produced per neutron capture, you can estimate the energy output of the reactor.
What is DC reactor in inverter?
This is used to improve the input power factor of the inverter power supply and reduce harmonics. The ''DC reactor'' is more effective than the input reactor in improving the power factorDC reactors (link chokes) are connected after the input diodes in the power circuit. One of the disadvantage of the DC reactors is they are located after the input diodes, and do not protect the diodes from possible voltage transients. One coil is needed in a DC circuit versus 3 coils in the AC circuit. Additionally DC reactors smoothing the current flow limits the high peak current pulses from abusing the capacitor bank inside the converter.
What is the input energy of nuclear fission reactor?
It is different for all reactor types, but I'll tell you about the CANDU, as it is widely used, and I know the most about it. Each CANDU reactor holds 4500-6500 fuel bundles at one time, each 50cm long and 10cm in diameter, each weighing about 20kg. Each produces roughly 1GWh (gigawatt hour) of power during its time in the reactor.
How can you find the efficiency of an AGR nuclear reactor?
You can work out the gas flow from the gas circulator characteristics, and measure the reactor inlet and outlet temperatures, so you can work out the reactor thermal output. Then you can measure the thermal conditions in the steam circuit from feed flow and temperature and steam temperature and pressure, this will give the reactor thermal output together with the gas circulator heat input. From all this data work out the best estimate for the reactor output. The generator output is straightforward, then you have to subtract the power being used on the plant for driving the gas circulators and feed pumps etc, to get the net electrical output, then it is just the ratio of that to the reactor thermal output.

How many pounds of uranium are in a nuclear reactor?
The quantity depends on: the type of the reactor, power of the reactor, enrichment of uraniu, chemical form of the fuel, etc. For a research reactor some kilograms, for a power reactor more than 100 tonnes/year.
