Answer / ravi chaurasia
Real power is the power which is actually required to operate
the connected load in power sysyem.Reactive power is the
waste power from electricity board point of view but it is
the inherent requirement of the inductive loads.
In short it reduces the capacity of cables and transmission
line but is inherent requirement of the load.

Answer / ajeet
Active Power = Real Power.
Active Power:As the name itself say,which actively participate in the circuit i.e it does the useful work.Example it get convert in tilight energy,heat energy,mechanical energy etc.
Reactive power:its the one which flows back to the generating station without doing any work or convertion.It doesn't do any useful work.
For example: I gave you 100 rs (apparent power) to bring rice from a shop.But you brought rice of only 80 rs,and returned 20 rs to me.
In the above example I assumed that total 100 rs will be converted in to rice,but only 80 rs is converted into rice and 20 rs returns to me,which is not desirable for me,i want rice of 100 rs but not of only 80 rs.
So,in the above example 100 is apparent power, 80 which converted into rice is active power and 2o which comes back is reactive power.Hope this may clear your doubt.

Answer / pradhyumn
real power does all the useful work in the circuit, while
reactive power just flows from the source to load and again
from load to source without doing any significant work.
Reactive power in inductive circuits is balanced by
connecting capacitors in series of the circuit.

why selected genration, transmission or any at 11kv, 132, 220, 220 or 440 voltage which is propotional to 11. why does not any for ex. 12 kv 13kv or any
What is the Frequency while we step up the voltage from 220V to 11KV? Is it possible? Explain it?

Anybody tell me about modbus hex address of l&t trivector meter er300p??I want to read voltage,current,kwh etc via rs485...If anybody have a manual then send on my mail..Brijeshmodi18@gmail.Com
dear all, can any body explain that how to select an induction motor for a specific mechanical load(inertia). is there any formula or calculation then please give me. i shell be very thankful to all of you. Thank,s and Rgard,s.
does frequency affects the load? if yes elaborate it.
When we need start the motor by method of star delta which size (KW or HP)motor should must be operate in Star Delta Method,
We use ungrounded DC system (220V/110V) for control and protection system in substations etc. Suppose we have long 2 core DC cables running from our DCDB in control room to the load (length of around 2 to 3 km). Do we need to protect these long DC cables from earth leakages or not? If yes how?
why do we prefer VCB over OCB? what are the advantages of Vaccum Ckt. Breaker over Oil Ckt. Breaker?
