Apparent power is the combined power value that is obtained
by allowing for the different values of current and
voltage. Essentially, the measure of apparent power is
achieved by multiplying the applied voltage to the current
generated. Most electrical systems operate by the use of
apparent power.

There are a few basic understandings about the nature of
apparent power that help to define the nature of the power.
Components of both reactive and real power must be present
in order for apparent power to exist. That is, the load
must be both reactive and resistant in order for the flow
of apparent power to take place, and thus create a means
for measuring the nature of the generated power. In
addition to the presence of resistant and reactive loads,
it is also important to determine the watts involved in the
current as well. Just as in determining the rate of any
complex power, knowing the watt value is key to
understanding the nature of apparent power.

In the actual calculation of apparent power, the number of
volts is multiplied by the number of amps. Results of the
calculation are presented in terms of volt-amperes reactive
and real power. This simple multiplication of voltage and
current makes it possible to ensure that the flow of
apparent power is sufficient to operate devices designed
for a given level of power, as well as ensure the flow of
apparent power can be handled by the components within the
device. Within this context, the measure of apparent power
is very important to manufacturers, as it allows them to
ensure that all products are within the standards
applicable within the jurisdiction.

Measuring the flow of apparent power is also critical in
the tasks of wiring public buildings and residences
properly. Plants must ensure that all electrical wiring and
additional components will adequately support the power
supply needed to drive large machinery without overloading
the circuits or wiring systems. Power suppliers themselves
will measure apparent power to make sure that the flow of
harnessed energy into homes and other buildings is
maintained within the safety standards that apply to the
area and type of structure.

Answer / p pichumani

In simple terms, Apparent Power is kVA, Active Power is kW
and reactive power is kVAr.

Answer / ramendra shukla

Apperant Power is sum of Active power & Reactive Power

Appearant Power, KVA = KW + KVAR

Which have reactive Power components.

electricity board have asked me what size meter i need fitted in my garage, its a 415volt supply and i want to run six 20amp supplies tolifts and things plus ten florry lights , what kva meter do i need??
