Therefore it follows that:- the impedence is only resistive,- the current amplitude/effective value I(ω0 ), Ie (ω0 ) are maximual (this is the motivation of the term "resonance"). - the voltage and the current are in phase.

pa (t) is the in phase istantaneous power. It is always positive. Thereby it is a power flowing into the circuit element and is dissipated by the resistance of the element. This power is consumed and therefore it is utilized by the circuit element that is the cicuit load.

pr (t) is the istantaneous reactive power. Its average value is equal to zero. It corresponds to an energy flowing into the circuit element for half period [the period of pr is T/2 = π /(2ω )] and outside of it for the next half period and hence in and out of the memary elements (inductance and capacitors).

Q is the maximal value of the power exchanged by a circuit element, or generally by a load, with the circuit into which the circuit element is inserted (or with the network to which the load is connected). Q can be positive or negative depending on the sign of ϕ. For an inductive load Q is positive, for a capacitive load Q is negative. In the SI Sistem of Units Q is measured in volt - ampere reactive [VAR].

For a circuit of l elements, whether the loads are connected in serie or in parallel or both connections are present (bottom figure), the total power supplied by the source equals the amount of power delivered to the circuit elements.

The apparent power is the product of the effective voltage (rms value) and the effective current (rms value).

N = Ve Ie = 12

V I

In the SI sistem of units N is measured in volt-ampere [VA].

From the definition of the average power P it is:

P = N cosϕ or N = P

cosϕ

These relations indicate the relevance of the power factor cosϕ. When the load angle encreases above zero cosϕ decreases below 1 and the average power P, which is the power utilized by the load, decreases below the apparent power N, which is the power capacity needed by the sources (for example the electrical power capacity of the generators of the electrical power stations).

The power factor is the cosine of the phase difference between voltage and current. Hence it is the cosine of the angle of the load impedence: cosϕ = cos(θV−θI) .

Power in AC CircuitsPower Factor

The value of the power factor cosϕ ranges between 0 and unity. Ø For a pure resistive load the voltage and current are in phase, so that

θV−θI = ϕ = 0 and the power factor cosϕ = 1. Therefore the apparent power is equal to the average power.

Ø For a purely reactive load θV−θI = ϕ = ±π/2 and the cosϕ = 0. In this case the average power is zero .

Ø In between these two extreme cases the power factor is said to be leading or lagging. Leading power factor means that the current leads the voltage (capacitive load). Lagging power factor means that the current lags the voltage (inductive load).

Ø In the electrical systems the power factor has to be as big as possible to utilize the maximal part of the apparent power generated (P → N) and to reduce the current at a given power utilized (P) and at a given voltage. Many utilities request to pay the power factor utilized when its value is below 0.9.

Motivations for the reduction of the phase shift angleØ If the current is reduced, the power lost along the line decreases (PL=2Rln I2).Ø As constant voltage is required by the net and as , in

order to reduce the voltage losses along the line the current has to be as low as possible.

Ø The apparent power, that has to be generated by the electrical power station, decreases with the decrease of the current.

Most loads are inductive and operate at a low lagging power factor. In order to reduce ϕ to a determined ϕ' (usually cosϕ' = 0,9 )a capacitor is set in parallel with the load. The capacity C is given by the the capacitive reactive power which compensates the inductive power : Q = P tan ϕ Q +QC = P tan ϕ ' ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ QC = P tan ϕ' - tan ϕ( )where Q is the reactive power to be corrected and QC = -ωC Ve

2 (IC = ωCV) is the reactive power of the capacitor utilized for the load factor correction. Hence it is
