Apparent, Active and Reactive Power
OHT 4.7
Consider an
RL circuit
– the relationship
between the various
forms of power can
be illustrated using
a power triangle
OHT 4.8
Therefore
Apparent Power S = VI VA
S2 = P2 + Q2
OHT 4.9
From the above discussion it is clear that
P = VI cosφ
= S cosφ
P
Power factor = = cos φ

OHT 4.12
Determine the value of capacitor which must be
connected in parallel with a load of 10kW and a
lagging power factor of 0.85 in order to produce an
overall power factor of unity. The supply is 200V rms,
50Hz.

OHT 4.13
A 20kW load requires a 500µF capacitor connected
in parallel to produce an overall power factor of unity.
The supply voltage is 240V rms, 50Hz. Determine the
reactive power and apparent power of the load, the
load current and the values of the two series-
connected components which form the load.
