apparent power

基本解释

Power Factor Power factor is the cosine of the angle between the actie power( kW) and apparent power( kA) in a circuit.
功率因数功率因数是电路中有功功率（W）视在功率（A）间夹角的余弦值。
In an electric power system, the following parameters often need measuring: voltage, current, power factor, power, reactive power and apparent power.
电力系统中常需测量电压、电流、功率因数、有功功率、无功功率和视在功率等参数。
A power quadrilateral consists of apparent power S, active power P, reactive power Q, and distortion power N, or is composed of a fundamental harmonic power triangle and a harmonic power triangle.
为解决功率三角形不能解决的一些问题，例如求含谐波电流的非正弦电路的电气参数问题，根据电工理论提出了由视在功率S、有功功率P、无功功率Q和畸变功率N构成的功率四边形。

There seems to have been a sequence of technical faults (reportedly, a problematic transformer, false alarms, failed signals and an apparent power surge) at about the same time in a small area of the power grid serving London.
ECONOMIST: Power industry
Forty years ago, women with no apparent power, either transactional or economic, moved tens of thousands of women into business and the professions, into the skilled trades, into science, engineering, and, technology, onto police forces and into fire houses.
FORBES: Diversity is Dead, Long Live Diversity
