In a power network, 400 kV is recorded at a 415 kV bus. A 50 MVAR, 415 kV shunt reactor is connected to the bus. What is the reactive power absorbed by the shunt reactor?
The capacity of reactor = 50 MVAr when it is operated at 415 kV. Impedance of reactor = V2/MVAr = (415*415)2/50 = 3444.5 Ω For 400 kV, Reactive power observed = (400*400)/3444.5 = 46.45 MVAR
Or
VAr capacity of capacitor or reactor is proportional to V²
The main function of an interposing CT is to balance the currents supplied to the relay where there would be an imbalance due to the ratios of the main CTs. Interposing CTs are equipment with a ratio that can be selected by the user to achieve the balance required. An interposing CT is installed between the secondary winding of the main CT and relay.
Oscillatory transient is the a sudden, non power frequency change in the steady state condition of voltage or current that is bidirectional in polarity.
