Calculate the active power in an 8764 H inductor.(a) 8645 W(b) 6485 W(c) 0 W(d) 4879 WThis question was posed to me in an interview.This intriguing question comes from Methods to Reduce the Energy Loss During Starting topic in chapter Starting of Electric Drives

Answer»

The correct answer is (c) 0 W

The EXPLANATION: The inductor is a linear element. It only absorbs REACTIVE power and stores it in the form of oscillating energy. The voltage and current are 90° in phase in case of the inductor so the angle between V & I is 90°. P = VIcos90° = 0 W. Voltage leads the current in case of the inductor.
