What Is Active, Reactive and Apparent Power

This document defines apparent power, reactive power, and active power in an electrical circuit. Apparent power is measured in volt-amperes reactive (VAR) or volt-amperes (VA). Reactive power is measured in VAR and is the power consumed by the non-resistive components of the circuit like inductors and capacitors. Active power is measured in watts and is the power consumed by resistive components or transferred by the circuit.
