I'm working with a company that deals with energy saver equipment. The main component for it is a capacitor bank. The question is how do i differ items of resistive/reductive load to inductive load ? From wat i understand, inductive loads are like motors. What about resistive/reductive loads ?? By the way is resistive and reductive the same thing ?
Another question is how do i identify whether it's a leading or a lagging power factor ? The formula for real power is Real power (W) = Voltage(V) × Current consumed (A) × Power Factor.
There is leading and lagging power factor with the value ( ex: 0.3 leading is good but 0.3 lagging will cause less efficiency and power loss) So how do i defy the real power as if i were to put 0.3 into the formula.. i'll be getting the same answer. Hopefully i'm not confusing people. Hope u guys can help. thanks.
