What is the reactive power and how to control the reactive
power in power plant

Answer Posted / muthukumar

We can control the power factor by switch on and off the
capacitor. Reactive power is nothing but capacitive power.
by using capacitive power continuosly the winding, core
gets heat and it will damage the equipment.
KVA= KW+KVAr

KVA---- Apparent Power
KW----- Active Power
KVAR--- Reactive Power

Reactive Power is full of losses. If we use any electrical
equipment automatically reactive power obtained due to core
losses and iron losses
