English term or phrase: sink or source reactive power
In some countries, it might require that the generating plants should be equipped with a logic interface (input port) in order to cease output active power or limit active power to a regulating level.
Do not consume at more than 75% of rated power AND Source reactive power if capable. Do not generate at more than 75% of rated power AND Sink reactive power if capable.

odbiornik lub źródło mocy biernej
Explanation:
Induction machines are some of the most common types of loads in the electric power system today. These machines use inductors, or large coils of wire to store energy in the form of a magnetic field. When a voltage is initially placed across the coil, the inductor strongly resists this change in a current and magnetic field, which causes a time delay for the current to reach its maximum value. This causes the current to lag behind the voltage in phase. Inductors are said to "sink" reactive power, and thus to cause a lagging power factor. Induction generators can source or sink reactive power, and provide a measure of control to system operators over reactive power flow and thus voltage.[6] Because these devices have opposite effects on the phase angle between voltage and current, they can be used to "cancel out" each other's effects. This usually takes the form of capacitor banks being used to counteract the lagging power factor caused by induction motors.

"pobierać" lub "wytwarzać" moc bierną


Explanation:
Tutaj chyba miało być jako czasownik:
to source (=produce, generate) or sink (=absorb) reactive power
---

"pobierać" lub "wytwarzać" moc bierną

Jeszcze można by sprawdzić czy jest to moc bierna indukcyjna czy pojemnościowa, zależnie od elementu czy urządzenia w sieci, ale tego pytanie nie obejmuje.
