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 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 of shunt reactor?

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.


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 Shunt reactor circuit diagram?

The fixed or mechanically switched reactors may be used for the absorption or generation of reactive power, the amount of reactive power produced is fixed and the response time is slow.


What are the differences of Long shunt vs short shunt generator?

In long shunt the shunt field winding is in parallel to both generator and series field. In short shunt the shunt field is in parallel to generator only.


How do you use shunt in a sentence?
