MGVCL Exam Paper (30-07-2021 Shift 3)
In a power network, 375 kV is recorded at a 400 kV bus. A 45 MVAR, 400 kV shunt reactor is connected to the bus. What is the reactive power absorbed by the shunt reactor?
A coil having large number of turns of fine wire is wound on the middle limb of the shunt magnet. This coil is known as pressure or voltage coil and is connected across the supply mains. The voltage coil produces a high ratio of inductance to resistance.
