When it comes to energy costs in your company, the cost of reactive energy is a factor that should not be underestimated.

Reactive power is the power required to generate a magnetic field in inductive loads such as motors, transformers, ballasts, induction furnaces, etc., i.e., coils of any type. Reactive power is also known as magnetizing power. It oscillates between the load and the generator (energy supplier) at twice the grid frequency. Reactive power places a load on the cables, transformers, and fuses.

This is precisely the load that energy suppliers collect through the electricity bill.
