What is real power and reactive power?

Real power is power that is used to do work. This is the power a light bulb uses to glow. Reactive power is power that is stored in one part of the AC voltage wave, and released in another. This...

Real Power: The actual power in Watts or K-Watts in AC or DC Circuits Apparent power: The Power in Inductive or Capacitive Circuits have Phase Lag & Lead measured in Volt Amperes VA or Kilo Volt...

i think that these are losses which decrease our voltages and we used capacitor banks for improvement of voltages

Use a wattmeter, as it only reads 'real power' of your load. Use an ammeter and a voltmeter, and the product of the two readings will give you 'apparent power' of your load. Since apparent power is...

There is no load connected!
