Saturable reactor information


In concept, the alternating current through the lamp L can be controlled by the saturation of the iron core with the direct current, regulated by variable resistor R. B- battery, G – AC source.

A saturable reactor in electrical engineering is a special form of inductor where the magnetic core can be deliberately saturated by a direct electric current in a control winding. Once saturated, the inductance of the saturable reactor drops dramatically.[1] This decreases inductive reactance and allows increased flow of the alternating current (AC).
