'Switchgear' is a generic term for all switching devices, such as circuit breakers, isolators, air-break links, etc. A reactor is simply a coil so, no, it is not classified as being switchgear.

What makes an argument inductive?

An argument is considered inductive when the conclusion is based on a series of specific observations or evidence that may support the conclusion but does not guarantee it. Inductive arguments rely on the probability of the conclusion being true rather than its certainty.


How does a three phase load reactor work?

A three-phase load reactor is an inductive device used to limit the inrush current and improve the power factor in three-phase systems. It consists of three coils, each connected in series with one of the phases of the load. When current flows through the reactor, it creates a magnetic field that opposes changes in current, thereby smoothing out current fluctuations and reducing harmonic distortion. This helps protect equipment from voltage spikes and enhances overall system stability.

Difference between series reactor and shunt reactor?

A series reactor is connected in series with a power system component, such as a transmission line or generator, to limit short-circuit currents and manage voltage drop during load fluctuations. In contrast, a shunt reactor is connected in parallel to the system, primarily used to absorb reactive power, improve voltage stability, and mitigate voltage rise in long transmission lines under light load conditions. Essentially, series reactors focus on current limiting, while shunt reactors focus on reactive power management.


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).
