Why we use series reactor in power system?..

Answer / sunil

series reactor is used to limit the fault current. b'cos
reactor contains inductance and it opposes the rate of
change of current

Why we use series reactor in power system?..

Answer / shravan kasaudhan

For reducing the scc(short circuit capacity).
Then faulty current will be reduced and size of switch gear will be reduced I.e.cast of switch gear equipment is no more

A 100 kVA , 400 v/250 kv testing transformer has 8% leakage reactance and resistance on 100 KVA base . A cable has to be tested at 500 kv using the above transformer as a resonant transformer at 50 hz . if the charging current of the cable at 500 kv is 0.4 A find the series inductance required . Assume 2% resistance for the inductor to be used and the connecting leads . Neglect dielectric loss of hte cable . what will be the input voltage to the transformer ?
