Why reactive power is not tranferred between source and load

AI Thread Summary
In a balanced three-phase AC system, reactive power is not transferred between the source and load; instead, it is exchanged among the system phases. This concept is supported by resources such as the PF Insights articles on AC power analysis. The articles clarify the nature of reactive power and its behavior in AC systems. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding reactive power dynamics for accurate power analysis. Overall, the assertion about reactive power transfer is incorrect.

I have read that at a balanced three phase AC system reactive power is not tranferred between source and load but instead it is exchanged between system phases.

Is this true? I can't find any book or paper that corroborate this

No, not true. See the PF Insights articles on this site. AC Power Analysis, Part 1 and Part 2.
 
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...

Thread 'EMF (Electromagnetic Field) & EHS (Electromagnetic Hyper Sensitivity)'

Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
