The kW - kVA relationship?
- Thread starter Christop
- Start date
If you understand vectors and trigonometry it is easy to visualize the relation thus:
-KW is the X-Axis component of the KVA vector.
-The Y-Axis component is called RKVA.
-The vectorial summation (resultant) of KW and RKVA is the KVA vector
-The triangle formed by KVA/rKVA/kW is called the Power Triangle
-KW is the X-Axis component of the KVA vector.
-The Y-Axis component is called RKVA.
-The vectorial summation (resultant) of KW and RKVA is the KVA vector
-The triangle formed by KVA/rKVA/kW is called the Power Triangle
