In electrical or electronic circuits, impedance can be said to have capacitive or inductive components. Capacitors cause capacitive impedance, and coils (chokes, Transformers, loudspeakers, etc.) cause inductive impedance.

A capacitor is said to be a reactive component in an AC circuit because it holds charge, then releases it, causing a phase shift in the output current. This phase shift in current equates to a phase shift between current and voltage. Reactive power is defined as a phase shift between current and voltage.

When is an element said to be chemically reactive?

An element is said to be chemically reactive when it combines with another element. These two elements will create a new compound.


How do you decide KVAR rating of capacitor bank?

Generally the capacitor rating of a bank are decided on the load factor.ie higher the KVAR higher the capacity.KVAR is the reactive power in which load angle differs with the load variation.If we know load factor multiply it by the sine angle which gives us the capacity of the cpapcity of the load bank.

Why power rating of capacitor is reactive in nature?

A capacitor is composed of metal plates. Voltage is applied to one, which causes electrons to build up on the other. This is reactive in nature, thus a capacitor is reactive. It stores a charge, and releases this charge when the voltage decreases.


How can you reduce reactive power?

If, for example, the reactive power of a load is due to its inductance, then installing a capacitor in parallel with the load will reduce the overall reactive power.

How can improve the power factor?

To increase capacitive load and decrease inductive loadAnswerThe most common method is to add a capacitor, or a capacitor bank, in parallel with the load. In practise, the reactive power of the capacitor (they are not rated in farads, but in reactive volt amperes) must be a little short of being equal to the reactive power of the load, so that the power factor approaches, but does not equal, unity.


What electrical component can hold a charge?

A capacitor is an electrical component that can hold an electrical charge. It stores energy in an electric field when connected to a power source and can release this stored energy when needed.
