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]
Where j L is the limiting current density (A/m 2), F is the Faraday's constant (96'485 C/mol), k d is the mass transfer coefficient (m/s), COD is the chemical oxygen demand for the organic pollutant (g/dm 3) and 8 is the oxygen equivalent mass. [29] According to this equation, the lower the COD the lower the corresponding limiting current.
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.
The limiting reagent (or limiting reactant or limiting agent) in a chemical reaction is a reactant that is totally consumed when the chemical reaction is completed. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The amount of product formed is limited by this reagent, since the reaction cannot continue without it.
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]
Chemical reactor, a device for containing and controlling a chemical reaction; Fusion reactor, a device for containing and controlling a fusion power reaction; An inductor (possessing reactance) in an electrical power grid A current limiting reactor is used to limit starting current of motors and to protect variable frequency drives
It consists of a power capacitor connected in series with a bidirectional thyristor valve and, usually, a current limiting reactor . The thyristor switched capacitor is an important component of a Static VAR Compensator (SVC), [ 1 ] [ 2 ] where it is often used in conjunction with a thyristor controlled reactor (TCR).
The chemical reaction proceeds as the reagents travel through the PFR. In this type of reactor, the changing reaction rate creates a gradient with respect to distance traversed; at the inlet to the PFR the rate is very high, but as the concentrations of the reagents decrease and the concentration of the product(s) increases the reaction rate ...
