Imaginary power; i.e., the power that flows into a reactive circuit. "Kilo" means thousands; "var" is short for volt-ampere reactive. Since it measures power, you could just as well use kilowatts.
Meaning it's a capacitive load. Leading power factor
Actually reactive power is a power which flows in between load to source which is a reactive action of the power given from source to load.the given power to load will not be utilised fully.some power will be oscillating from load to source.this is called reactive power.
reactive protein is negative means
Inductors are considered to be a load for reactive power, meaning that they will draw reactive power from the system. Capacitors are considered to be sourced of reactive power, they feed reactive power into the system. If you have a circuit that is at unity (balanced with inductors and capacitors) no reactive power will be drawn from the source. You will have unity power factor. If your circuit is more inductive than capacitive it will be drawing reactive power from the source. The opposite is also true for capacitors.
Basically an AC transmission line require compensation in terms of reactive power. To push the active power across a transmission line certain amount of reactive power is necessary. In AC transmission line reactive power is generated and consumed. Generator is responsible for the production of reactive and active power both. Than this reactive power is consumed by the load and transmission line. Additional reactive power s supplied by the capacitor. This extra power supplied by the capacitor is termed as reactive power compensation. Requirement of this reactive power is there because reactive power is necessary to maintain the voltage stability.
A watt meter will measure active power, not reactive power.
Reactive power is well known as that component which is shunted back and forth from the source to the load over the AC cycle. However, this does not mean the system has no reactive power losses. In fact they would be quite high. Loss is always measured with respect to load and not the source. When we term it reactive power loss, it is not the amount of power taken away from the source and not returned. That way, there would absolutely be no reactive loss at all because all the energy stored in the reactive elements are anyway returned. The idea is after all to provide the power to the load. So, the loss represents the amount of power unable to reach the load. The power lines are not purely resistive. They comprise considerable level of reactive elements especially line inductance.Now, the active power which actually runs the load is never a separate entity. It co-exists with reactive power because the reactive (more so inductive) components of the load need to be energized in order to power the load. Reactive power loss is thus that amount of power which is deficient or 'not supplied' to the storage (reactive) elements of the load because of the reactive elements on the line. Thus the loss is always to be visualized in terms of load. That is why the complete return of reactive power to the source in the negative cycle has got nothing to do with loss understanding actually.Hope this helps!
If, for example, the reactive power of a load is due to its inductance, then installing a capacitor in parallel with the load will reduce the overall reactive power.
Hi, Under excitation - inductive reactive power Over excitation - Capacitive reactive power.
No. It is apparent power (expressed in volt amperes) that is the combination (vector sum) of true power (expressed in watts) and reactive power (expressed in reactive volt amperes). 'Imaginary power' is simply another name for 'reactive power' -where 'imaginary' is simply mathematicians-speak for 'quadrature' or 'right angles'.
I am not sure what exactly you mean by "reactive power" (I guess you mean electrical reactive power), but power is the ratio of energy for a period of time. So that makes power (and reactive power as well) a scalar, since you can describe it with only one number. The fact that electrical reactive power is drawn on a XY plane, should not confuse you.
Use a wattmeter, as it only reads 'real power' of your load. Use an ammeter and a voltmeter, and the product of the two readings will give you 'apparent power' of your load. Since apparent power is the vector sum of real power and reactive power, use the following equation to find the reactive power of your load: (reactive power)2 = (apparent power)2 - (real power)2
