Series Reactor

The series reactor is a link object designed to model a series reactance on each of the three phases.

object series_reactor {
       from node1;
       to node2;
       phases ABC;
       phase_A_impedance 1+1j;
       phase_B_resistance 2;
       phase_C_reactance 3;
}

Series Reactor Parameters

Properties

series_reactor objects are derived from link objects, so any parameters of the link object are available as well.

The I/O column indicates whether a property is user-settable input (I), simulation-computed output (O), or both (IO).

Table 1: series_reactor table 1

Property Name	Type	Unit	I/O	Description
phase_A_impedance	complex	Ohm	I	Series impedance on phase A.
phase_A_resistance	double	Ohm	I	Series resistance on phase A. Maps directly into phase_A_impedance, but allows user to specify real portion separately.
phase_A_reactance	double	Ohm	I	Reactive portion of phase A's impedance
phase_B_impedance	complex	Ohm	I	Series impedance on phase B.
phase_B_resistance	double	Ohm	I	Series resistance on phase B. Maps directly into phase_B_impedance, but allows user to specify real portion separately.
phase_B_reactance	double	Ohm	I	Reactive portion of phase B's impedance
phase_C_impedance	complex	Ohm	I	Series impedance on phase C.
phase_C_resistance	double	Ohm	I	Series resistance on phase C. Maps directly into phase_C_impedance, but allows user to specify real portion separately.
phase_C_reactance	double	Ohm	I	Reactive portion of phase C's impedance
rated_current_limit	double	A	I	Rated current limit for the reactor. Not used at this time.

Series Reactor State of Development

Series reactor has been tested, but not fully validated.
