Here you have the option of calculating the reactive power factor, the reactive power and the
apparent power of AC motors, for example.

sin φ = Q / S
sin φ
sin φ hast to be between -1 and 1 sein!
Blind Power: Q
Apparent Power: S
Please fill all mandatory inputs.

An example:

An AC motor with an apparent power 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

Units of measurement:

Reactive power Q=kilovolt ampere reactive [kVAr]
Apparent power S=kilovolt ampere [KVA]
sin φ=no unit of measurement
