This video is a simple explanation of Power in AC systems. Why are there 3 different types of power? We use an intuitive approach to try to understand what Real, Reactive and Apparent power actually are. We first look at their fundamental mechanisms in isolation - first for real power, then for reactive power. After this, we define Power Factor. With this intuition, it is easier to understand the true nature of power. 00:00 - 00:52 Introduction 00:52 - 06:32 Real Power 06:33 - 10:44 Reactive Power (capacitance) 10:45 - 13:12 Reactive Power (inductance) 13:12 - 16:21 Mixed Systems 16:21 - 17:35 Power Factor
