The diode is fabricated of a semiconductor material, usually silicon, which is doped with two impurities. One side is doped with a donor or n-type impurity which releases electrons into the semicon…
In a typical industrial plant, AC induction motors constitute a large portion of the equipment. Since induction motors are mainly inductive loads, they are likely to lead to a low power factor. So…
One of the most effect ways to improve the power factor of the electrical distribution system is to install equipment that have the ability to decrease the reactive component of the power supplied…
In AC circuits, power is utilized in two basic forms: Active or Useful power measured in KW and Reactive power measured in KWAR. Before we get to understanding the concept of power factor, let …
