  2. Mathematics of three-phase electric power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematics_of_three-phase...

    The plotted line represents the variation of instantaneous voltage (or current) with respect to time. This cycle repeats with a frequency that depends on the power system. In electrical engineering, three-phase electric power systems have at least three conductors carrying alternating voltages that are offset in time by one-third of the period ...

  3. Power factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_factor

    Power flow calculated from AC voltage and current entering a load having a zero power factor (ϕ = 90°, cos(ϕ) = 0).The blue line shows the instantaneous power entering the load: all of the energy received during the first (or third) quarter cycle is returned to the grid during the second (or fourth) quarter cycle, resulting in an average power flow (light blue line) of zero.

  4. RC time constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RC_time_constant

    It is the time required to charge the capacitor, through the resistor, from an initial charge voltage of zero to approximately 63.2% of the value of an applied DC voltage, or to discharge the capacitor through the same resistor to approximately 36.8% of its initial charge voltage.

  5. Open-circuit time constant method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-circuit_time_constant...

    The linear term in jω in this transfer function can be derived by the following method, which is an application of the open-circuit time constant method to this example. Set the signal source to zero. Select capacitor C 2, replace it by a test voltage V X, and replace C 1 by an open circuit.

  6. Capacitance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitance

    Combining the equation for capacitance with the above equation for the energy stored in a capacitor, for a flat-plate capacitor the energy stored is: = =. where is the energy, in joules; is the capacitance, in farads; and is the voltage, in volts.

  7. Static VAR compensator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_VAR_compensator

    In Electrical Engineering, a static VAR compensator (SVC) is a set of electrical devices for providing fast-acting reactive power on high-voltage electricity transmission networks. [1] [2] SVCs are part of the flexible AC transmission system [3] [4] device family, regulating voltage, power factor, harmonics and stabilizing the system. A static ...

  8. List of electromagnetism equations - Wikipedia

    Continuous charge distribution. The volume charge density ρ is the amount of charge per unit volume (cube), surface charge density σ is amount per unit surface area (circle) with outward unit normal n̂, d is the dipole moment between two point charges, the volume density of these is the polarization density P.

  9. Power-voltage curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power-voltage_curve

    Power-voltage curve (also P-V curve) describes the relationship between the active power delivered to the electrical load and the voltage at the load terminals in an electric power system under a constant power factor. [1] When plotted with power as a horizontal axis, the curve resembles a human nose, thus it is sometimes called a nose curve. [2]
