Active, Reactive & Apparent Power | You’ll not get an easier explanation than this| TheElectricalGuy

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.

I have been in the electrical engineering field for over 30 years, this was the most straightforward explanation I have seen. Well done.

[@comics_Gh]

Hello engineer

[@soundar4270]

This is the very basic, you simply tarnish the image of your experience

[@raakeshmagesh2452]

@@soundar4270 sorry bro.. He just said the explanation is straightforward. I don't see anything which tarnished his experience here.

[@soundar4270]

@@raakeshmagesh2452 I am Mechanical Engineer working in 500 MW Thermal power plant. It was taught during 1st month of our Training calendar. When Mechanical guys are able to understand the basic concept, I don't think , It will be tough for experienced guys to understand the concept.

[@raakeshmagesh2452]

@@soundar4270 yes you are right.. Maybe he would have learnt in a complex way

[@extremejobs]

This is the best explanation of active, reactive and apparent power that I ever saw or hear. Thank you for this and other explanations on your channel. Please continue in same manner.

[@ExcitedRoboticArm-ve3ml]

The best explanation I have ever seen.I am a EEE student, I watch your all videos which are awesomely awesome. I want a video about "The working principle of three phase induction motor with basic". May Allah give you long life brother.

[@johnmoor8839]

At last a clear explanation. Thank you.

[@mdakramali2156]

being an indian am proud of you bro.. really very good explanation iam going to suggest my all friends to watch your videos... god bless you bro.

[@GrantsPassTVRepair]

Excellent! Thanks for defining the terms with such clarity.

[@jobycheeran658]

Excellent explanation

[@luistimana2393]

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]

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.

[@csri9116]

great presentation. I wish I had these videos on the Internet when I was going to school!? we spent countless hrs trying to understand this concept but with no one to explain correctly. students of electrical engineering are luck these days. keep up the good job!

This is actually a very good video. Thanks!

Despite of being in the field for a year, no one could ever explained in such a detailed way , thank you soo much sir, well done👍🏻👌🏽

Thank you friend. Do share the video with your friends, so that it will also help them. 😊

[@santoshparajuli7897]

The beer analogy has nothing to do with reactive power; though people use it most often. Now I understand the true meaning of reactive power. Thanks Bro !!

AFTER WATCHING THIS MY CONCEPT IS CLEAR ABOUT POWERS..GREAT WORK

[@ferminbf2224]

Congratulations dude, your explanation is pretty clear. I liked it and subscribed to your channel as well.

[@prasanthvijaykumar7819]

It cleared all my doubts. Thank you sir

[@engenhologia]

This is the first time that I really understood active and reactive powers, thanks so much!

[@checkthisout7129]

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.

[@constructionfreak3158]

Hats off to your explanation. I am Electrical Engineer... fidelling with electricity. It has become my hobby.

[@Ranjith4841]

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%).

[@madagalaharivardhan9412]

how 60 kVAR came explain plss

[@priyambandyopadhyay6575]

@@madagalaharivardhan9412 , use the vector addition. YOU WILL GET THE ANSWER. S= P+Q, DON't rely on this formula, use the triangle law of vector addition.
