 Reactances of synchronous machines

In the context of synchronous machines, "reactance" refers to the opposition to the flow of alternating current (AC) due to the presence of inductance and capacitance in the machine's windings. Synchronous machines, which include synchronous motors and generators, have specific types of reactance that are key to their operation. The primary reactance associated with synchronous machines includes: 1. **Synchronous Reactance (Xs):** - This is the most critical reactance in synchronous machines.
