in a series circuit which is supplied by constant current regulator at 50 HZ(keeps current at 6.6 amps no matter what load is introduced or taken away with respect to the size of regulator)which has say ten transformers connected in the series loop and a lamp across the secondary side of each t'former.i was recently told by a lecturer that by 1 lamp open circuiting, then it would cause the inductive reactance to increase? is this true?

(THIS IS THE WAY AIRFIELD LIGHT ARE SUPPLIED)
The way i understand it is, inductive reactance is caused by a change in current due to the frequency (50Hz) leading to a change in flux within the t'former, but if the ccr maintains its regulation there would not be a change in the value of current so there would not be a diffrent value of current changing (50Hz) hence a maintained XL value?

I am so bad at trying to explain things, i hope this makes sense!!!!!
