A reactor is an electrical component, and its primary function is to control and adjust current and voltage to maintain the stability and normal operation of an electrical power system. The main functions of a reactor include:

Current Limitation: Reactors can limit the rate of change of current to prevent sudden increases or decreases in current, thereby protecting equipment in the power system from current shocks.

Voltage Stabilization: Reactors can stabilize voltage, especially during sudden changes in power system loads or transient faults, helping to maintain the system's voltage levels.

Harmonic Filtering: Reactors can be used to filter out harmonics in the power grid, reducing harmonic pollution in the power system and protecting equipment from the effects of harmonics.

Short-Circuit Current Limitation: Reactors can limit short-circuit currents in the power grid to prevent equipment damage during faults.

Power Factor Improvement: Reactors can improve the power factor by compensating for reactive power back to the grid, increasing the power factor of the power grid, and reducing energy wastage.

Power System Stability: Proper use of reactors in a power system can enhance system stability, reducing issues such as voltage dips and excessive currents.

In summary, reactors have various functions in electrical power systems, which can be used to maintain the stability of current and voltage, protect equipment from damage, improve power factor, reduce harmonic pollution, and ensure the normal operation and reliability of power systems.
