  2. Current limiting reactor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_limiting_reactor

    Current limiting reactor. The main motive of using current limiting reactors is to reduce short-circuit currents so that circuit breakers with lower short circuit breaking capacity can be used. They can also be used to protect other system components from high current levels and to limit the inrush current when starting a large motor. [5]

  3. Current limiting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_limiting

    Current limiting is the practice of imposing a limit on the current that may be delivered to a load to protect the circuit generating or transmitting the current from harmful effects due to a short-circuit or overload. The term "current limiting" is also used to define a type of overcurrent protective device.

  4. Thyristor-controlled reactor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyristor-controlled_reactor

    The current in the TCR is varied from maximum (determined by the connection voltage and the inductance of the reactor) to almost zero by varying the "Firing Delay Angle", α. α is defined as the delay angle from the point at which the voltage becomes positive to the point at which the thyristor valve is turned on and current starts to flow.

  5. Thyristor-switched capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyristor-switched_capacitor

    The reactor is usually an air-cored reactor, similar to that of a TCR, but smaller. The size and cost of the TSC reactor is heavily influenced by the tuning frequency of the TSC, lower frequencies requiring larger reactors. The TSC reactor is usually located outside, close to the main capacitor bank.

  6. Switchyard reactor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switchyard_reactor

    Series reactors are used as current limiting reactors to increase the impedance of a system. They are also used for neutral earthing. Such reactors are also used to limit the starting currents of synchronous electric motors and to compensate reactive power in order to improve the transmission capacity of power lines. [3]

    Without an applied current pulse to the gate of the SCR, the SCR is left in its forward blocking state. This makes the start of conduction of the SCR controllable. The delay angle α, which is the instant the gate current pulse is applied with respect to the instant of natural conduction (ωt = 0), controls the start of conduction.
