explain the existence of reactive power in electrical engg?when it generates?..

Answer / ashhad khan

reactive power is like heart for AC electricity without reactive power fans,motors cannot work .because until reactive power is generated in windings
energy cannot transfer from electrical energy to wind energy (in case of fans)
or generally in form of motion. one can think it as we switch on the fan before fan rotates reactive power is setup in the windings which will form magnetic effect which at-last force the rotor to move. so without reactive power all this is impossible. while in case of dc supply no such reactive power is required because in dc there is no such angle between current and voltage and whenever voltage is setup current will be in phase with voltage.

reactive power is generated whenever ac voltage is setup accross an inductance .moreover its not generated, its a part of power only as V*I*sin(theta).

we all know that in transformer, voltage and current are inversely related i.e. Vp/Vs= Is/Ip....so in standard CT..we have a ratio of 200/5...that means our voltage should increase by ratio of 40..althoug that is not the case...because that requires high insulation level.and pratically not feasible......can anybody clarify my ques.......thanx
