what is reactive power?..

Answer / abdurrahim

Reactive power is part of Apparent power(KVA) which is
useless,oscillation between source to user.And return to
source.

To calculate reactive power,It is a sine factor of the
apparent power.

what is reactive power?..

Answer / rama krishna

Power is defined as the rate of flow of energy past a given
point. In alternating current circuits, energy storage
elements such as inductance and capacitance may result in
periodic reversals of the direction of energy flow. The
portion of power flow that, averaged over a complete cycle
of the AC waveform, results in net transfer of energy in one
direction is known as real power. The portion of power flow
due to stored energy, which returns to the source in each
cycle, is known as reactive power.

what is reactive power?..

Answer / ghanshyam singh

satisfied with RAMA KRISHNA, the power which is returned to the supply is called the reactive power
actual power consumed is active power while total of both these is apparent power

2 Answers   ABB, L&T,


Dear all, I just want to ask an expert on this forum for some insights. For the magnetic balance test, when applied voltage on a Delta-Star transformer e.g. Dyn11, the following relationships apply for HV side: 1.  H1-H2 = H2-H3 H3-H1 2.  H2-H3 = H3-H1 H1-H2 3.  H3-H1 = H1-H2 H2-H3 For the LV side also: 4.  X1-X0 = X2-X0 X3-X0 5.  X2-X0 = X3-X0 X1-X0 6.  X3-X0 = X1-X0 X2-X0 Is there a similar pattern for Y-d, Y-Y, D-d? And how about Y-z, D-z, Z-y transformers? I've tested a YNzn5 transformer and for LV side I don't see the pattern. In this particular case I got for LV side the following (see values below): H1-H0  H2-H0  H3-H0    X0-X1  X0-X2  X0-X3 128.0  119.9  7.2      29.2   13.3   15.8 70.7   128.4  59.2     23.4   22.0   3.6 7.2    120.1  128.1    13.4   29.3   15.8 What is the relationship here for LV? For row 1 I see the relationship, for row 3 I also see but it's shifted, but for row 2 I don't see such relationship. Any suggestions, answers, someone?
