Reactive Power Absorption by Series Reactors
Reactive Power Absorption by Series Reactors
(OP)
Is there an equation which would explain the reactive power absorption of a series reactor with impedance X. Assume that the series reactor between point 1 and point 2. Thanks for any help.






RE: Reactive Power Absorption by Series Reactors
Use Ohm's law to determine the reactive component of the current. (Current times reactance. IX rather than the more familiar IR)

You should be able to determine the current flow through the reactor based on the downstream load (or the FLA of the reactor), and then use I^2(R + jX)=(P + Q), or just I^2X=Q, Q being Reactive Power.
