Power Relationships P = watts S = volt-amps Q = volt-amps of reactance
Power Relationships • Resistance (R). • Inductance Reactance (XL) • Capacitance Reactance (Xc)
Rate at which energy is being stored and returned to the ckt Inductance temporally stores energy Capacitors temporally store energy Measured in Volt-amps of Reactance Units VARS Symbol is Q Q=Ex x Ix Reactive Power
Rate at which energy is dissipated or consumed in the CKT The load of the ckt ex motor, light Measure in Watts Units are W Symbol is P P=Er x Ir True Power
Combined effect of Power and Reactive Power Measured in volt-amps Units VA Symbol is S S=E x I Apparent Power
Ratio between power and apparent power P.f. = P/S Require the angle (θ) Angleθ = cos-1p.f Power Factor
