Reactors in power substations are used to regulate voltage levels on the electrical grid. They can either step up or step down the voltage to ensure that it is at the appropriate level for transmission or distribution. By adjusting the reactance of the system, reactors help to stabilize the grid and protect equipment from overloading.

How does electricity get from a power plant to your home?
Electricity generated at a power plant is transmitted through high-voltage power lines to substations. At the substations, the voltage is reduced for distribution to homes through local power lines. The electricity enters your home through the meter and electrical panel.
What distributes electricity?
Electricity is distributed through a network of power lines, transformers, and substations. Power plants generate electricity and transmit it through high-voltage transmission lines to substations, where the voltage is lowered for distribution to homes, businesses, and other buildings through power lines.
What is completed path for transfer of electricity?
circuit
Is power reactor a thermal reactor?
Yes, a power reactor is a type of thermal reactor. Power reactors use nuclear fission to produce heat, which is then used to generate electricity. The heat generated in the reactor comes from the controlled chain reaction of nuclear fission, making it a thermal reactor.
How many nuclear power plants is currently in United States?
There are currently 93 commercial nuclear reactors operating at 56 nuclear power plants in the United States.
