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.

Can ac current flow through insulator?

current does not flow through insulation under "normal circumstances". The air itself is often used as an insulator in HV and EHV electricity. When lightning strikes, it ionizes (lines up the molecules) in the air, causing a breakdown in the insulation strength of the air, which sometimes allows current to flow from one conductor to another in overhead power lines. This is called a "fault" and results in massive power flow until protective equipment interrupt the flow, and give enough time for the air do de-ionize before resuming normal operation.


Distance between ehv lines?

The distance between high voltage lines is governed by either a switching impulse voltage or lightning impulse voltage. The distance between lines, or lines and tower must have a high enough dielectric strength to avoid flashover at these voltage. Air can withstand a voltage of 3kv/mm.


What is EHV transmission?

EHV = Extra High Voltage. To quote from the Wikipedia article (see link) "...this refers to equipment designed for more than 345,000 volts between conductors." Put simply - EHV transmission is the 'national grid' power system.

Why twin moose conductor used in EHV Lines?

The twin moose type of conductor has by far the greatest diameter of any conductor. This allows it to carry more voltage than other types without melting or shorting. Therefore, it is the approved type of conductor for extra high voltage lines.
