'Apparent power' is a term used in a.c. circuits, NOT d.c. circuits.

What happens if excitation fails in parallel oprating generator?

when excitation fails,Reactive power will be supplied by the system to which the generator is connected and generator will work as induction generator and its speed will rise a little. generator which was in over excitation mode will work in underexcitation.but there is under excitation limit which should not be reached so we should detect loss of excitation and trip generator


What is the ratio of apparent power to true power?

The ratio of apparent power to true power is called 'admittance', expressed in siemens. Admittance is the inverse of impedance.


True power divided by apparent power?

Real Power: The actual power in Watts or K-Watts in AC or DC Circuits Apparent power: The Power in Inductive or Capacitive Circuits have Phase Lag & Lead measured in Volt Amperes VA or Kilo Volt Amperes KVA


Why the rotor of an alternator at rated power dissipates more heat at a low power factor load?

In an alternator, the load current is supplied by the stator and the excitation is applied to the rotor. When the power factor is low (lagging), more excitation is required to maintain rated output voltage at rated current. More excitation is also required to maintain rated output voltage with increased output current. Increased excitation current means increased rotor losses that must be dissipated as heat. (akash)


What is meaning of apparent power in transformer?

Apparent power is the product of voltage and current in an a.c. system, and is expressed in volt amperes. The rated apparent power of a transformer is the product of its rated secondary current and rated secondary voltage.

Which excitation synchronous motor drawn reactive power?

Hi, Under excitation - inductive reactive power Over excitation - Capacitive reactive power.


Is power factor defined as volt amps divided by apparent power?

No. The volt ampere (V.A) is the unit of measurement of apparent power. Power factor is true power (expressed in watts) divided by apparent power (expressed in volt amperes).

What is powerfacter?

The ratio of active power (real power) and apparent power is called power factor ( pf ). Power Factor ( pf ) = Active Power / Apparent Power = .................. ( kvar )


If a load takes 50 kW at a power factor of 0.5 lagging Calculate the apparent power and reactive power?

If a load takes 50 kW at a power factor of 0.5 lagging calculate the apparent power and reactive power Answer: Apparent power = Active power / Power Factor In this case, Active power = 50 kW and power factor = 0.5 So Apparent power = 50/0.5 = 100 KVA


What is the ratio of apparent power to true power?

The ratio of apparent power to true power is called 'admittance', expressed in siemens. Admittance is the inverse of impedance.


Relation between active power plus reactive power plus apparent power?

Apparent Power=Active Power+Reactive Power or Active Power=VI Cos(Phase Angle) Reactive Power=VI Sin(Phase Angle) Apparent Power= VI

What affect the phase angle?

Apparent power is the vector sum of a load's true power and its reactive power. If you draw a 'power diagram', the phase angle will be the angle between the true power and the apparent power. If true power is fixed, then increasing the phase angle will result in a greater value of apparent power.


What is the power factor when the apparent power is 150 VA and the active power is 100 W?

The equation for power factor is PF = True power in watts/Apparent power in Volt Amps.

How do you find true power With power factor and apparent power?

to put out the power fector you have to divided apparent power with true power.AnswerYou can determine the true power of any load using a wattmeter. To find the apparent power, you use a voltmeter to measure the supply voltage and an ammeter to measure the load current, and multiply the two readings together.If you then want to go on to find the power factor, then you divide the true power by the apparent power. If you want to find the reactive power you use the following equation:(reactive power)2 = (true power)2 x (apparent power)2
