The scope of this article is to introduce a method to measure the power factor in a 50 Hz alternating current transient. The circuit shall be a R-L type. By acquiring only the current wave and, ...

When it comes to the most typical cause of poor power factor in a facility, motor inductance is a likely culprit. The problem worsens when motors are not loaded to their full capacity. Harmonic ...

Low power factor reduces an electrical system’s distribution capacity by increasing current flow. Therefore, having a low power factor is inefficient and expensive. But what is power factor and what ...

1. Power-factor triangle relates the real power, the reactive power, and the apparent power. (Courtesy of Vector Group) Let’s start by talking about the concept of power factor (PF). Assuming ...
