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 ...

Most facilities have power factor (PF) correction capacitors at the service, but those merely help you avoid a PF penalty on the electric bill. Those four big 400HP motors that drive your air ...

The IEEE has begun work on two first-of-a-kind electrical standards: one for the measurement of power loss in apparatus at low power factors and the other for handling sulfur hexafluoride. It has also ...

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 ...

The instrument works on the principle of a combined bridge-vector-meter and it is capable of analyzing capacitive and inductive loads. HAEFELY HIPOTRONICS has launched the new high precision tan δ/ ...
