Steady State Power Calculation Section 10.1-10.4
Instantaneous Power Use current as point of reference
Power for Purely Resistive Circuits (θv= θi) • For purely resistive circuits , θv= θi θv= θi (all the electric energy is dissipated in the form of thermal energy)
Power for Purely Inductive Circuits (θv= θi+90 deg) • For purely inductive circuits , θv= θi+90 deg θv= θi+90 deg (Q is 1 VAR) Volt-Amp Reactive (Voltage leads current by 90 deg) (No transformation of energy from electric energy to nonelectric form)
Power for Purely Capacitive Circuits (θi= θv+90 deg) • For purely inductive circuits , θi= θv+90 deg θi= θv+90 deg (Q is -1 VAR) Volt-Amp Reactive (Current leads voltage by 90 deg) (No transformation of energy from electric energy to nonelectric form)
Power Factor (power factor angel) Knowing the power factor does not tell you the value of power factor angle. We need to use descriptive language: Lagging power factor: current lags voltage. (most appliances such as lighting fixtures and washing machine…etcoperate at a lagging power factor. We usually want to operate a power factor of 1. 2. Leading power factor: current leads voltage.
Average Power (P) A 120 V, 100W lamp has a resistance of 1202/100=144 Ohms
Power Factor Correction Example We can use a capacitor in parallel of L1 and L2 to correct Power. We would ideally like to have a power factor of 1.
