As another example consider the equation for calculating a reactor to install on the supply side of a vfd application. The % impedance of the reactor is based off of the VFD's base impedance using the V^2/VA method.
So with this equation lets say we wanted to install a 5% reactor which is common for this application. This doesn't necessarily mean that the reactor is 5% of the total circuit impedance since this 5% value is only based on the base impedance. Is this correct?
We would have to know the actual impedance of the drive to determine the what % of the circuit the reactor represented and to determine the voltage drop across it in steady state. Is this correct?
Aside from determining the base voltage drom V^2/VA I have also seen base imp = V/A. Can this method also be used for determining the correct base voltage.
Thanks for all the help with this.
