Reactors in power substations are used to regulate voltage levels on the electrical grid. They can either step up or step down the voltage to ensure that it is at the appropriate level for transmission or distribution. By adjusting the reactance of the system, reactors help to stabilize the grid and protect equipment from overloading.
What else can I help you with?
How does electricity get from a power plant to your home?
Electricity generated at a power plant is transmitted through high-voltage power lines to substations. At the substations, the voltage is reduced for distribution to homes through local power lines. The electricity enters your home through the meter and electrical panel.
What distributes electricity?
Electricity is distributed through a network of power lines, transformers, and substations. Power plants generate electricity and transmit it through high-voltage transmission lines to substations, where the voltage is lowered for distribution to homes, businesses, and other buildings through power lines.
What is completed path for transfer of electricity?
circuit
Is power reactor a thermal reactor?
Yes, a power reactor is a type of thermal reactor. Power reactors use nuclear fission to produce heat, which is then used to generate electricity. The heat generated in the reactor comes from the controlled chain reaction of nuclear fission, making it a thermal reactor.
How many nuclear power plants is currently in United States?
There are 104 commercial nuclear power reactors in the US. See the related question below.
What do infrared cameras look for in substations and on power lines?
What do truck-mounted infrared cameras look for in substations and on power lines
How many reactors usually work in nuclear power plants?
Most plants have two reactors but some have more
What is the bad things about the nuclear power reactors?
there are no bad things about the nuclear power reactors
What year was nuclear power invented?
1933, but it was not until after WW2 ended that work was begun on designing usable power reactors.
Do fusion powers nuclear reactors?
No. Our reactors are fission reactors. We haven't yet mastered fusion reactors for power.
Are lasers used for nuclear reactors?
No, at least not for power reactors
Where do power lines go to?
Actually they just stay there. Seriously, power lines start from a power station (thermal, hydel, nuclear, etc.) and extend to consuption areas. major Substations in say (a state) is connected to substations in towns or town areas. There can be several levels of substations. From the lowest level substation the lines connect to houses, offices, commercial entities, etc.
Where is the location of capacitor banks in the sub stations?
They can physically be located almost anywhere. Capacitor banks are typically attached to the bus in substations. Reactors are often tapped off lines.
How many power substations are present in vijayawada?
For many years, the city of Vijayawada has had a need for more power substations and the government is trying to get two to three more built soon. For now, there is only one substation that powers the city.

Descibe about shunt reactors?
Shunt reactors are the inductors connected across the power line for power factor correction.The reactors injects reactive power in the transmission line for voltage compensation. The only disvantage of this shunt reactors is that it shorts whenever high voltage or transients occurs.Only stepped variation of the reactive power is possible.
