What is the difference between transformer and reactor?
A transformer is composed of two coils and wrapped around a core while a reactor is made up of one coil of wire. A transformer is used to increase or decrease the amount of current while a reactor is used to isolate circuits from a noisy background.
What is the function of an electrical reactor?
A nuclear reactor contains a nuclear reaction, provides support for the control mechanisms for the reaction, and provides for the transfer of heat to machinery that will use it to produce electric power.
How much electricity produced in one power plant?
Nuclear power plants have been build in several sizes. The nuclear reactor to generate electricity was EBR-1, the Experimental Breeder Reactor number 1 in Idaho. On December 20th 1952 it generated enough electricity to power four light bulbs! On June 27 1954 the Obninisk Nuclear Power Station in the USSR became the first nuclear reactor to provide electricity to an electricity grid. It was a 5MW (electric) reactor. In general the larger a reactor the cheaper the electricity it produces, although larger reactors are arguably less safe than smaller ones. The largest nuclear power plant in the world currently is the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant. It has seven reactors in the gigawatt range, KK-1 to KK-5, which are boiling water reactors with an rated output of 1.067GW(e) each, and KK-6 and KK-7, advanced boiling water reactors each with rated outputs of 1.315GW(e). However these reactors and their associated fuel fabrication facilities have been plagued with problems including management malfeasance, falsification of data and earthquakes. All reactors are currently offline for inspection. a reactor is the cheaper it can produce electricity though, and recent designs have be in the multi-gigawatt range.
Do I need tertiary winding in a auto transformer with vector YNynO?
Depends, do you need to connect auxiliaries/generator/capacitor/reactor to tertiary? If not you may consider to not to use tertiary. The 3rd harmonic current will become an issue then. The phase to ground Isc will be lower.
What is center tap transformer?
Center tap transformer is the such kind of transformer that is made to a point half way along a winding of a transformer.
