Substation Equipment: Shunt Reactors. Shunt Reactors. Shunt reactors are used in an extra high-voltage substation to neutralize inductive reactance in long EHV transmission lines. The photo shows an installation of both an older version and a newer version of the reactor. Figure 1. Shunt reactors in a substation.
The most common reason for the statute of limitations being extended is because the plaintiff was a minor. The statute of limitations for a minor in most states does not begin until they turn 18 years old. Therefore, in a state with a two-year deadline, a minor who has a slip and fall accident would have until their 20th birthday to file a lawsuit.
In Missouri (each state has its own statute of limitations), the limitations period for a personal injury matter appears to be 5 years. That means that, in the case of dismissal without prejudice, the would-be plaintiff may refile the action at any time up to 5 years from the date of the event or injury giving rise to his or her claim. All that matters is the statute of limitations; there are no additional time periods or restrictions measured from when the dismissal was granted.
