| 41. | Since reactive power transfers no net energy to the load, it is sometimes called " wattless " power.
|
| 42. | By convention, a " lagging " or inductive load, such as a motor, will have positive reactive power.
|
| 43. | Capacitive loads such as capacitor banks or buried cable generate reactive power with current phase leading the voltage.
|
| 44. | Reactive power extends in the direction of 5 as it represents a purely imaginary component of AC power.
|
| 45. | In most cases, the reactive power is inductive and can therefore be cancelled out with banks of capacitors.
|
| 46. | The plan was to improve the power factor, reduce losses and improve voltage performance due to reactive power flow.
|
| 47. | This is done such that a leading current ( capacitive load, negative reactance ), results in positive reactive power.
|
| 48. | The static compensator lets engineers store reactive power and dump it in quickly if they need to raise voltage.
|
| 49. | This will keep that reactive power from having to flow all the way from the utility generator to the load.
|
| 50. | A voltage collapse occurs when the system serves load that has a higher reactive power demand than the system can supply.
