Reactive energy, also known as reactive power, is a type of electrical energy that oscillates back and forth between electrical equipment and the power grid. Unlike active power, which is the energy that is actually consumed by electrical devices to perform work, reactive power does not produce any useful work on its own. Instead, it is required to maintain the voltage levels of the power grid within acceptable limits.
Harmonic current refers to the electrical current that flows through a system at a frequency that is a multiple of the fundamental frequency. These harmonic frequencies can cause problems in electrical systems, as they can create additional heat, noise, and electromagnetic interference, which can damage equipment and reduce system efficiency.
An unbalanced load in electricity refers to a situation where the distribution of electrical power consumption among the three phases of a three-phase power system is not equal.
What is Harmonic in Electrical? Harmonics are electrical signals that occur at frequencies that are multiples of the fundamental frequency of a power supply. Harmonic distortion occurs when non-linear loads draw non-sinusoidal current from the power supply. This results in a voltage waveform that is distorted and contains harmonics. Harmonics can cause problems such as […]
