What Is Reactive Power ?
Reactive power is basically additional “wasted” energy that is consumed by an electrical appliance but serves no useful purpose, it is likened to a horse pulling a barge along a canal tow path, the horse cannon pull the barge from directly in front of the barge and has to pull from one side to move the barge forward hence energy is wasted by pulling the barge to the side when, the main focus is to pull forward. Most of the energy to pull the barge is useful although the energy used when pulling sideways could be described as unproductive wasted energy. Reactive power is a measure of the unproductive wasted energy What Is Reactive Power ? Why Is Reactive Power Charged ? How Can Reactive Power Charges be Removed or Reduced ? What action can I take to remove Reactive Power Charges ? What if I don’t have a Reactive Power Charge ?
