  • Knowledge of Active, Reactive and Apparent power is must for every electrical engineer, but most of the time we end up with confusion in this topic. So, you want to make basics of all these powers I would recommend you to watch the video. It's the easiest explanation you'll ever find and it's now with improved audio and visuals.

    Thanks for sharing your knowledge. There are two mistakes.
    Min. 6:35 - active power has a different shape A*(sin(theta))^2
    Min. 13:25 - a power factor of 0.8 means: 80%=active power, 100%=apparent power, (apparent power≠active power+reactive power; apparent power^2=active power^2+reactive power^2)

    • @user-jr6rq8li7j
      @user-jr6rq8li7j 2 роки тому +3

      I was thinking about the same thing. PF of 80% does not mean the reactive power is 20%. in fact Q/S will be more than 0.2 if run the calculation.

    Great video but gotta say that capacitor and inductor are linear elements unless their c and l values vary over time. That's because C=charge/voltage and L=flux/current which are linear relations. They can only alter the phase but not the frequency of the input. That's why you get a constant impedance when you divide voltage by current.

    @Ranjith4841 4 роки тому +8

    At 13:23, 80% active power doesn't mean that remaining 20% would be reactive.
    Because, S is not equal to P + Q, but S is a vector sum of P and Q.
    If S = 100 kVA and Power factor = 0.8, then P = 80 kW and Q = 60 kVAR (not 20 kVAR, which is 20%).
