What it represents
A reactor is an inductive component used for a documented power-circuit purpose. Its connection and rated electrical characteristics need to be stated because an inductor outline alone does not identify its duty.
How to read it
- Identify whether it is connected in series or shunt.
- The preview is an original explanation of this function. Match the actual drawing convention to its legend and the selected equipment documentation.
Information to show or reference
- State circuit purpose
- Record inductance or impedance
- Reference current and voltage rating
A distinction that matters
A reactor stores magnetic energy; a transformer couples separate documented winding circuits.
