What role does the concept of Apparent Power play in the electronics industry?
where,True power is actual amount of power being used in a circuit and The True power is measured in kilo watt(kW) or MW
Reactive power is the power which flows back and froth that mean it moves in both the direction in the circuit or react upon itself is called Reactive Power.The reactive power is measured in kilo volt ampere reactive (kVAR) or MVAR.
Apparent power is required in sizing/designing in electrical equipments such as alternator and transformers.
Apparent power = v * I; where v = voltage and I = Current.
