Clearly Define Active,Reactive,Apparant power.Which
applications used which power above metioned power?

Answer Posted / jayesh pillai

square of kva= square of kw + square of kvar

here, a power system possess apparent power i.e. kva
it is divided into two components i.e kw active power and
kvar reactive power

kw = kva*(cos phi) and kvar = kva (sin phi)
here actual power i.e. responsible as a loss component and
thus losses occurs in line due to active power

reactive power does not does any useful work but it is
responsible for building up magnetic field in motors or any
inductive equipments

Is This Answer Correct ?    4 Yes 5 No

A 100 kVA , 400 v/250 kv testing transformer has 8% leakage reactance and resistance on 100 KVA base . A cable has to be tested at 500 kv using the above transformer as a resonant transformer at 50 hz . if the charging current of the cable at 500 kv is 0.4 A find the series inductance required . Assume 2% resistance for the inductor to be used and the connecting leads . Neglect dielectric loss of hte cable . what will be the input voltage to the transformer ?
