It is said that reactive power is that power that oscillates between the source and the load. The reactive power stored by an inductor or capacitor is supplied back to the source
Customer ServiceNaturally, the inductor can be considered as consuming the reactive power from the power source and the capacitor give back (or produces) at the same time. By properly selecting the value of the capacitor we can give back the same quantity of power to the source that consumed by the inductor at the same period. In the next quarter cycle, the
Customer ServiceCapacitors and inductors are "reactive" components which react to change. Unlike resistors, capacitors and inductors store and release energy based on changes in applied voltage or current and do not follow ohm''s law. In the case of capacitors, electrons are stored on conductive plates as voltage is increased. What is meant by reactive component?
Customer ServiceResistor consumes and reactive device stores/sends power to source. The true benefit is when an inductor AND a capacitor are in the circuit. Leading capacitive reactive power is opposite in polarity to lagging inductive
Customer ServiceAs reactive-inductive loads and line reactance are responsible for voltage drops, reactive-capacitive currents have the reverse effect on voltage levels and produce voltage-rises in power systems. The current flowing through capacitors is leading the voltage by 90°.

Customer ServiceCapacitors and Inductors are reactive. They store power in their fields (electric and magnetic). For 1/4 of the ac waveform, power is consumed by the reactive device as the field is formed. But the next quarter waveform, the electric or magnetic field collapses and energy is returned to the source. How are voltage and reactive power interrelated?
Customer ServiceShunt capacitors supply capacitive reactive power to the system at the point where they are connected, mainly to counteract the out-of-phase component of current required by an inductive load. They may either be energized continuously or switched on and off during load cycles. Figure 4 illustrates a circuit with shunt capacitor compensation applied at the load
Customer ServiceAs it was mentioned before, shunt capacitors may be used to provide a local source of capacitive reactive power Q C to reduce a value of inductive reactive power Q L carried by the line (usually, an overhead line). The results achieved by the application of shunt capacitors are shown in Figure 3. Fig. 3 - Application of Shunt Capacitors for
Customer ServiceThus the inductance element absorbs reactive power. Most loads are net inductive and so they require reactive power to be supplied by the source. Similarly overhead lines are net absorbers of reactive power, but cables, with
Customer ServiceCapacitors are the largest source of compensating reactive power and are commonly used throughout the power system. Synchronous condensers are a type of rotating machine—like a generator—but they do not produce real power, only reactive power. There are also other devices that use high-power electronics to rapidly control
Customer ServiceWhich means that Capacitor is not consuming Reactive Power rather it supplies Reactive Power and hence Generator of Reactive Power. For Inductor, SinØ = Positive, therefore Q = Positive, which implies that an
Customer ServiceThe pure inductive loaded system and phasor diagram are illustrated in Fig. 8.3 referring to aforementioned approach. The pure inductive loads, i.e. shunt reactors used in tap-changing transformers and generation stations, do not draw power and δ between load voltage V and source voltage E is zero. Since the voltage drop jX S I is in phase between V and E, the

Customer ServiceThe reactive power stored by an inductor or capacitor is supplied back to the source by it. So, since both the inductor and capacitor are storing as well as delivering (releasing) the energy back to the source, why is it said that inductor absorbs reactive power and capacitor delivers reactive power?
Customer ServiceConsider the source impedance of the weak power system has both a resistive and reactive component (i.e. an "ideal" voltage source in series with an RL combination). Just as a resistive load will form a "voltage divider" with the source, a reactive load will do the same. By applying the standard voltage divder rules to complex impedances, the reason for the observed result

The reactive power stored by an inductor or capacitor is supplied back to the source by it. So, since both the inductor and capacitor are storing as well as delivering (releasing) the energy back to the source, why is it said that inductor absorbs
Customer ServiceCurrent can only flow in a closed loop, so a series capacitor cannot keep reactive current from flowing through the distribution grid, which is the very thing that power factor correction seeks to avoid in order to avoid the resistive losses of that current travelling long distances through practical conductors.

Customer ServiceWhich means that Capacitor is not consuming Reactive Power rather it supplies Reactive Power and hence Generator of Reactive Power. For Inductor, SinØ = Positive, therefore Q = Positive, which implies that an Inductor consumes Reactive Power.
Customer ServiceReactive power is simply energy that is being stored in the load by any capacitors or inductors inside it. It can be returned to the source and indeed does so on a cycle-by-cycle basis in linear AC systems.

Customer ServiceThus the inductance element absorbs reactive power. Most loads are net inductive and so they require reactive power to be supplied by the source. Similarly overhead lines are net absorbers of reactive power, but cables, with their high capacitance are net generators of reactive power and this has to be handled by the source.
Customer ServiceIn order to overcome this, reactive power sources like series capacitors are connected to the loads locally where reactive power is required by the loads. However, utility companies charge consumers as a penalty for reactive power

The
Customer ServiceTo achieve this goal, local sources of reactive power may be used: either shunt capacitors for inductive load, or shunt reactors for capacitive load. Let''s discuss both options.

For 1/4 of the ac waveform, power is consumed by the reactive device as the field is formed. But the next quarter waveform, the electric or magnetic field collapses and energy is returned to the source. Same for last two quarters, but opposite polarity.
As reactive-inductive loads and line reactance are responsible for voltage drops, reactive-capacitive currents have the reverse effect on voltage levels and produce voltage-rises in power systems.

Without it the motor would not work so it's dangerous to consider it is wasted, but it sort of is. Capacitors and Inductors are reactive. They store power in their fields (electric and magnetic). For 1/4 of the ac waveform, power is consumed by the reactive device as the field is formed.

Leading capacitive reactive power is opposite in polarity to lagging inductive reactive power. The capacitor supplies power to the inductor decreasing the reactive power the source has to provide.
So the power factor is a kind of efficiency pf = P / S for a circuit. The closer it is to 1, the better. Reactive power in VAR (Volt Amps Reactive) (Q) is power that circulates between the source and the load. Power that is stored in capacitors or inductors. But it is needed.
Pure capacitance element – For a pure capacitance element, P=0 and I leads V by 90° so that complex power is: Thus the capacitance element generates reactive power. b. Inductive element – Similarly, for an inductive element, P = 0 and I lags V by 90° so that: Thus the inductance element absorbs reactive power.
