Reactance

Electrical equipment; Generators

Reactance is the opposition to the flow of current in AC circuits caused by inductances and capacitances. It is expressed in terms of ohms and its symbol is X.

Reactive power is power that flows back and forth between the inductive windings of the generator and the inductive windings of motors, transformers, etc., which are part of the electrical load. This ...

Reactor

A reactor is an electrical device that applies only reactive load to a system.

Real Power

Electrical equipment; Generators

Real power is the product of current, voltage and power factor (the cosine of the angle by which current leads or lags voltage) and is expressed as W (watts).
