Answer / shaikh

whn any machine is supplied with some source, some amount of
power is consumed by that machine...the total amount of
power consumed by that machine is called APPERANT POWER...
this apperant power is mainly devided into two powers...

1.ACTIVE POWER 2.REACTIVE POWER

active power is tht power that actually utilized and
delivers the output (usually mechanical) is given by that
machine while reactive power is that power which is required
by the machine but which is not useful at all.so apperant
power is the vectorial summation of active & reactive power.

APPERANT POWER= ACTIVE POWER + REACTIVE POWER.(vector sum)

Answer / deepak tyagi

apparant power is one which is total power drawan from the
system and that equal to vxi.

reactive is one which is used to produced the magnetic
field.

Why is it preferred to use a wattmeter(s) to measure power in three phase systems rather than using a combination of other instruments e.g. voltmeters, ammeters etc?
