Reactive Power

Reactive Power Reactive power is used to control voltage over transmission line or in power systems network. Mathematically, Reactive Power is product of volage and current with sin(phi).        Q = VI sin(phi) -----------(1) Here, we observed that from eq.(1), Reactive Power depends upon flux (phi). And We have,   V = E1 = 4.44 Nf(phi) ----------(2)     Where, phi = magnetic flux(Weber)                     N  = No. of turns                     f   = freuency(Hz) From eqn(2), We can says that, voltage depend upon flux. By this way we can say that, Reactive Power depends upon voltage. In case of synchronous machine: Over excitation ---> Over flux ---> Over R.P Need of Reactive Power : Voltage control in power system is important for proper operation for electrical devices/elements to prevent from damage such as :  -To reduces Tra...
