WHY REACTIVE POWER IS RETURNED TO SOURCE
Dear Mr. Abdul Jabbar ;
I thnik you are talking about the reactive power that we have from ” Capacitors Bank “.
First, we should know that the ” Capacitors ” are like other ” Loads ” installed on the network, so, as we have an ” Inductive Loads ” and a ” Resistive Loads “, we have also a ” Capacitive Loads “, so, the current of the capacitve loads will run to the source. But from the point of view of the source we have the ” Vectorial Sum ” of 3 currents that are ” Inductive, Capacitive, and Resistive currents “.
Regards.
