what is the difference between ACTIVE POWER and REACTIVE
POWER.I WANT CLEAR ANSEWER.

Answer Posted / a .n.thakur

Understsnding of active power and reactive power is very
much related to our life.What we eat gives power to us is
acive power but power required to our mind to do a job is a
reactive power.In a Generator steam input gives activce
power whearas excitation of field winding provides reactive
power.Like human being if generator is self excited then it
should generate reactive power to compansate for its airgap
as wellas for its connected load.

I have a current transformer with 1 main reading meter with transformer outside the building and a control panel having 5 CT reading meters with black round coils inside the building. I want to know, A) when current pass through the Transformers, will the current be reduced or be the same and after that B) when current pass through the CT meters with black round coils, will the current be reduced or be the same. C) in the above process will the reading of the main meter be same or different, from the total reading of all the 5 CT meters.
