Reactive Energy

About

Reactive Energy is defined as energy that is "useless in use".

It is wrong to say that reactive energy is useless.

Without reactive energy, electrical receivers would not work. Reactive energy can be compared to starting a car. If your car does not start, it will not start.

We should utilise reactive energy as much as necessary. Excess is nothing but useless and useless load.

Reactive energy is divided into two:

1.) Inductive energy (caused by coil receivers)

2.) Capacitive energy (caused by receivers such as capacitors, underground cables, UPS)

If we calculate inductive as positive reactive energy, we see capacitive as negative reactive energy.

If we superimpose the same amount of inductive and capacitive load, the reactive load disappears.
