AC Reactor
AC Reactors In the most popular sense, we call something that can act as an impedance in a circuit a reactor. The reactor used in the power grid is essentially an air-core coil without magnetic conductive material. It can be arranged in three assembly forms: vertical, horizontal and herringbone according to needs. When a short circuit occurs in the power system, a large short-circuit current will be generated. If it is not restricted, it is very difficult to maintain the dynamic stability and thermal stability of electrical equipment. Therefore, in order to meet the requirements of the interrupting capacity of certain circuit breakers, a reactor is often connected in series at the outgoing circuit breaker to increase the short-circuit impedance and limit the short-circuit current.
