Formulas
When a voltage V causes a current I to flow through a reactive load Z, the complex power S is:
S = VI* where I* is the conjugate of the complex current I.
Inductive Load
Z = R + jXL
I = IP – jIQ
cosf = R / |Z| (lagging)
I* = IP + jIQ
S = P + jQ
An inductive load is a sink of lagging VArs (a source of leading VArs).
Capacitive Load
Z = R – jXC
I = IP + jIQ
cosf = R / |Z| (leading)
I* = IP – jIQ
S = P – jQ
A capacitive load is a source of lagging VArs (a sink of leading VArs).

Resp. Sir,
I want details of solar pump, BLDC, PMMP also need installation methods.
If possible please give names of Indian sources.
