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

[@markleonhardt241]

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

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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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)

[@袁佳诗]

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.

[@Ram-p-77]

Understanding the 80% and 20% Concept: The power factor (PF) of 0.8 means that 80% of the apparent power is active power and 20% is reactive power. 80% of 100 VA = 80 VA is used for active power, which is doing useful work (i.e., 80 W). 20% of 100 VA = 20 VA (i.e 60 VAR obtained from eqn s2= p2+q2)is used for reactive power, which doesn’t do useful work but is necessary for maintaining voltage and sustaining the magnetic fields in inductive loads (like motors or transformers). HERE 60 VAR is what you get as 20 % of 100 KVA and 80 watts is 80% of 100 KVA . cant interpret them as simply 80 and 60 percent mathematically .

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

[@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.

[@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 !!

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%).

[@matthewlozy1140]

Good explanation, very easy to follow. I would have liked some examples though. I think I understand the concept, but someone please correct me if I'm wrong with the following. With a battery backup, like a UPS, it will have an apparent power (will call it "capacity" going forward), the active and reactive power combined. When it's supplying power in a power outage it uses active power and the remaining capacity (assuming it's not at 100% load) would be reactive power. The amount of capacity being used is the Power Factor. Hope I understood that all correctly.

[@palomerar]

Your explanation of the three powers involved is excellent, and I sincerely thank you for it. Yet, I should point out what I find a minor mathematical error in your presentation, unless I missed some detail. The relationship between apparent, active and reactive power is not linear. Therefore, PF=P/S =0.8 does not mean that Q is 20% of S, since Q/S = 0.6 . For Q=0.2 S, PF = 0.98. Your statement would be true if S=P+Q, which is not the case.
