what is reactive power?

Answer Posted / 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.

A 15 kw squirrel cage motor having a maximum efficiency of 90% on a continuous full load has temperature rise of 42 degrees celcius after 30 min and 52 degrees celcius after 1 hr under the above operation conditions. a) calculate its final steady state temperature rise on continuous load and the heating time constatnt. b) if the motor is operated on a short load for 9 min estimate its temperature rise. c) calculate the maximum overload that can be applied on a short, 9 min rating so that the temperature rise is the same as the final steady state temperature rise on continuous load.
