Power factor

In these articles, I discuss the power factor concepts, reactive power, the problem of low power factor in the three pahse and single phase supply system etc

Power Factor and Reactive Power Difference

power factor vs reactive power

You will learn the difference between power factor and reactive power in this post. We will discuss also active power, reactive power, apparent power, and power factor and also the formula of correlation between them with calculation and examples.

And also as usual extra knowledge based on my industrial design experience.

Low Power Factor Correction, Its Causes, How and Why to Correct PF

Power factor correction concept

In this post, I discuss: why “power factor correction” and its method, the causes and problems of low power factor, and how to correct power factor and its advantages. You will also learn fixed step type and continuous variable PF correction, the need for fast correction (SVC), and the need for an extra inductor.

There are many more advantages of power factor correction discussed in this article.

I will also discuss extra knowledge as per my industry experience of designing such control equipment. The power factor correction is done for many reasons.
