Reactors in a Power System

Published by Alex Roderick, EE Power – Technical Articles Reactors in a Power System, May 03, 2021. This article highlights two common types of reactors which are the dry-type and the oil-immersed. In an AC circuit, reactance is the opposition to current flow. A reactor, also known as a line reactor, is a coil wired in series betweenContinue reading “Reactors in a Power System”

Voltage Notching and Distribution Systems II – Large DC Drive Examples

Published by Electrotek Concepts, Inc., PQSoft Case Study: Voltage Notching and Distribution Systems II – Large DC Drive Examples, Document ID: PQS0506, Date: June 30, 2005. Abstract: This case study describes voltage notching associated with large DC drives. The notching is a normal characteristic of a phase-controlled rectifier but this paper illustrates problems that can occurContinue reading “Voltage Notching and Distribution Systems II – Large DC Drive Examples”

Voltage Notching and Distribution Systems – Large Induction Motor Drive

Published by Electrotek Concepts, Inc., PQSoft Case Study: Voltage Notching and Distribution Systems – Large Induction Motor Drive, Document ID: PQS0320, Date: July 18, 2003. Abstract: This case describes voltage notching associated with large adjustable speed drives. The notching is a normal characteristic of a phase-controlled rectifier but this paper illustrates problems that can occur onContinue reading “Voltage Notching and Distribution Systems – Large Induction Motor Drive”
