Apparent Power Converter

Apparent Power Converter

The total power flowing is defined as apparent power:


When electrical power goes to a load (a computer, motor, lights, cooling, etc.) in an alternating current system, some of the power is not absorbed and used to perform productive work - a portion of the power is reflected back to the power source (the electrical company). There are two methods for determining the total power flowing into a motor: measuring the current and voltage, and measuring the product of the voltage and current (For example, if you measured 208 volts and 5 amps, the apparent power is 1040VA).

The vector sum of real and apparent power is the result of voltage and current on an electrical circuit.

The following connectors represent power in single and three-phase power circuits:

Active Power:

True power, active power, or real power are all terms used to describe the real power used in an AC circuit. It is expressed in kilowatts (kW) or megawatts (MW) (MW). It is the actual result of the electrical system that operates the electric circuits or load.

Reactive Power:


Reactive power is defined as power that flows back and forth in a circuit, meaning that it travels in both directions or reacts on itself. Reactive power is measured in kilovolt-ampere reactive (kVAR) or millivolt-ampere reactive (MVAR).

Apparent power:

Apparent power is an AC electrical power measurement determined by multiplying the RMS current by the RMS voltage. Voltage and current are in phase in DC circuits and in AC circuits with no impedance (a pure resistance). If both are equal, the following formula holds true:


ErmsIrms + P

where P denotes power in watts, Erms is root-mean-square (RMS) voltage in volts, and Irms denotes root-mean-square current in amperes. The voltage and current in an alternating current circuit are not always in phase. The more you practise, the more difficult determining power becomes.

The product of the RMS voltage and the RMS current in an AC circuit is known as apparent power. Because a megohm impedance equals a resistance of one volt per amp, the apparent power is That's right. When the true power is more than the apparent force, we say the resistance is stronger. Reactive power is defined as the vector difference between perceived and real power.

The product of the RMS voltage and the RMS current in an AC circuit is known as apparent power. The perceived power is the same as the genuine power when the impedance is pure resistance. However, when reactance exists, the perceived power exceeds the genuine power. Reactive power is defined as the vector difference between perceived and real power.

If Pa denotes apparent power in a complicated AC circuit, Pt denotes actual energy, and Pr denotes reactive power, then the following equation is true:

Pt2 + Pr2 = Pa2
