series reactor is used to limit the fault current. b'cos reactor contains inductance and it opposes the rate of change of current
switchgear is electrical equipment regulats from electricity
what HT Swichgear
It works with two reactor coils for excitation of the field reactor coil , which in turn provides current to the field. The two reactor coils are connected in shunt and series with the output of the generator stator or armature ( from where load is connected).
Low-voltage switchgear may be suitable for industrial or commercial use, so long as the distribution system does not exceed 600 volts.They may either be used alone or incorporated into a larger unit for secondary monitoring of power utilization.Be sure to always purchase switchgear from a trusted company, and research industry standard terms of use.
