kVAr and Amps in power quality Reactive Power (kVAR) Reactive power, measured in kilovolt-amperes reactive (kVAR), is the component of alternating current (AC) power that does not perform any actual work but is necessary for maintaining the voltage levels required for the active (real) power to do useful work. It is associated with the energy storage in inductive and capacitive elements of the pow...
Neutral current and Active harmonic filter Active Harmonic Filter (AHF) and Neutral Current Active Harmonic Filter (AHF) is used to improve power quality, by harmonics filtering, reactive power compensation and 3 phase balancing in power systems. Harmonics are voltage or current waveforms that are integer multiples of the fundamental frequency. They can cause various power quality issues, includin...
