Generators
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
Electrical equipment; Generators
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
Electrical equipment; Generators
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).
Rectifier
Electrical equipment; Generators
An electronic device that converts AC power to DC power (AC/DC).
Resistance
Electrical equipment; Generators
Resistance is the opposition to the flow of current in DC and AC circuits. It is expressed in ohms and its symbol is R.
