Post in thread: Reactive Power in Off Grid Solar Pumping
Thank you all for such information. So lets say we have a three phase borehole pump that is withdrawing at full power 110 amps on each phase @ 400 V line to line. This means that the pump apparent power is around 76 kVA. Assuming that the power factor is 0.8, so the active power is 60 kw. So...- Reaction score: 1

Post in thread: Reactive Power in Off Grid Solar Pumping
If we are utilizing solar energy for off grid pumping meaning that the borehole pump is being fed by a PV field and operated by a solar VFD only, how is the reactive power necessary to run the AC motor of the pump generated, noting that PV panels are capable of providing active power only.- Reaction score: 0
