Inductor

A reactor intended for shunt connection in a network to compensate the capacitive current. IEC 60050.

Inductor in PSP-UFU

The inductor (or reactor) element generally represents a shunt reactor in the PSP-UFU circuit.

Capacitors and reactors require only their reactive power as a parameter.
These passive elements are inserted into the admittance matrix, with impedance calculated from their rated power and voltage.

Inductor editing form

The figure below shows the insertion/editing form for inductor data:

In addition to the single general context, the "Stability" button can be seen in the lower-left corner of the form.
This form, common to several other elements, allows the insertion and/or removal of the inductor during the stability study.

General

Name

Electrical element identification. Any number of characters can be entered using the Unicode standard.

All PSP-UFU power components have this field.

Reactive power

Capacitors and reactors require only their reactive power as a parameter, entered in Mvar, kvar, var, or $p.u.$ (based on the system base power).

Stability Button

The "Stability" button opens a form, common to several other elements, allowing the insertion and/or removal of the transformer during the stability study.

In this form, a generic list of insertions and removals over time can be created, customized by a switching properties context where the switching type (insertion or removal) and the event time (in seconds) are edited.
These properties are added or removed from the list using the "Add" and "Remove" buttons, respectively.
