What is meant by Reactor in power system and what are the
uses?

Answer Posted / विशाल खरवा

Reactor is a very high inductive coil which has approx zero power losses and high reactance. Which generally used with EHV transmission lines.
Application–
1. Reactor is used to minimise the faulty current of transmission line.

2. Reactor is used to compensate the ferranti effect and capacitive effects.

3. Reactors used for connecting two lines. I.e. as a tie line connector.

4. Reactor opposes the change of faulty and dangerous current.👍👍

Is there a possibility to use such a treshold voltage for the NMOS part of a CMOS circuit that during the switching it will start conducting only after the PMOS part will be already closed, by this eliminating the leakedge current? Please note, I'm not asking about the well bias in standby mode, but about the "antileakedge" measures during normal operation.
