what is the use of Reactive power in power system?

Answer / iamdon
Reactive powers (vars) are required to deliver active power
(watts)through transmission lines. Most of the electric
equipments works on the induction priciple where the
magnetizing current is needed to establish the working flux.The
energy stored in field is returned back to system when it
turned OFF,but as long as it is ON we need Q(it is oscillating
at the frequency which is double of supply frequency). Motor
loads and other loads require reactive power to convert the
flow of electrons into useful work. When there is not enough
reactive power, the voltage sags down which creates a vicious
circle and it is not possible to push the power demanded by
loads through the lines.

Answer / sajal mittal
reactive power is that power which can oscillates between
the transmission end and user end and it is only in setting
up a magnetic flux around a conductor and it is always
conserve it is no created nor destroyed

Hi, I've just got into my electrical engineering course and I need some help with a question of mine here. During a site visit, we were shown a main LT panel which has switchgears, ammeters and different kinds of relays and the distribution network from that panel. In the main LT panel I've noted down the current readings as Ir - 163A, Iy - 150A and Ib - 147A. The Line to Line voltage is 415 V at 50 Hz and Line to Neutral voltage is 230V at 50 Hz. From the above details, how would I calculate the kVA rating of transformer? The primary side voltage of the transformer is 11 kV and the secondary side voltage is 415V and the frequency is 50 Hz.
