Power Factor
Power factor is very critical for calculating or measuring the electrical power consumed by an electrical device on an alternating current supply. To be able to determine electrical power on alter…
As we have already seen in the basics of power factor in electrical distribution system , most Industrial loads require both Real power and Reactive power to produce useful work. Typically, induct…
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 …
