what is Real power and Reactive power ? what is difference
between them ?

Answer Posted / vamshi kulkarni

simply to be remember very simply, real power means the
power which we actually use for our application, reactive
power means the amount of power wasted in the network,
apparent power means vectorial addition of real and reactive
powers, so we always pay money for apparent power even
though we r not using reactive power. Thats why in
industries always we use to keep apparent power as low as
possible by using capacitor banks
