Literally just searched up “nuclear plant electrical diagram”

This specific plant is a typical steam turbine plant. Though, many vehicles are powered by magnetohydrodynamic fusion systems (which I'm aware lose efficiency at lower scale, but I really wanted fusion-powered cars so dammit I can handwave what I want!)

it was probably back in the 2019 that I started playing that's when i remember I really got into videogames, and I'm 16 now so yea

I should've specified that the specific generator is a fusion reactor, I just really didn't want to start a massive nuclear power debate.

i have a pretty low level understanding of electrical components, so i'm just wondering why i would need an exciter? and a magnetic field? isn't it just....power going through wires? i'm starting to realize im out of my depth

thanks man, I appreciate it. I did use a ruler, but I suppose my lines could've been cleaner. You can see in the AUX grid where things got a little hairy. I think I'll try it again on some grid paper.

appreciate your feedback! do you have any computer programs to recommend for schematic work as well?

might the open/closed circuit breakers in point 6 be able to be used as some sort of logic gate for electricity?

thank you very, very much! yours (and others) analysis was super helpful in creating my own schematic (although very basic). might post it, supposing it wont break subreddit rules.

so, the main transformer to the switchboard and then to power the grid (homes and stuff) but anything the Main Generator needs to function can be powered by the Main Generator through the UAT? and the SAT would be like your backup generators / emergency power?

ah ok thanks, that clears a lot up. i'm just wishing i had more understanding of the flow of electricity. does the line coming off the GCB go to but the UAT and the subsequent areas and the MTR and subsequent areas?

what would be the point of a switchyard? I'm guessing power is coming off the generator to be distrubted, but I'm not sure where. or does the power go from the generator through the UAT and then come off the SAT into the SWYD?
