Here you have the possibility to calculate the reactive power factor, the reactive power, and the apparent power
of e.g., AC motors.
sin φ = Q / S
For Example:
An AC motor with a power rating of 3.2 KVA has a sin phi of 0.234.
What reactive power results from these specifications?
sin φ = Q / S
Q = S x sin phi
Q = 3.2 KVA x 0.234
Q = 0.749 KVAr
Measuring Units:
Reactive power Q = Kilovolt ampere reactive [kVAr]
Apparent power S = Kilovolt ampere [KVA]
sin φ no measuring unit
