  2. Power factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_factor

    The power factor of a balanced polyphase circuit is the same as that of any phase. The power factor of an unbalanced polyphase circuit is not uniquely defined. A direct reading power factor meter can be made with a moving coil meter of the electrodynamic type, carrying two perpendicular coils on the moving part of the instrument. The field of ...

  3. Leading and lagging current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leading_and_Lagging_Current

    Angle notation can easily describe leading and lagging current: . [1] In this equation, the value of theta is the important factor for leading and lagging current. As mentioned in the introduction above, leading or lagging current represents a time shift between the current and voltage sine curves, which is represented by the angle by which the curve is ahead or behind of where it would be ...

  4. Capability curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capability_curve

    The fixed speed wind turbines without a power converter (also known as "Type 1" and "Type 2" [5]) cannot be used for voltage control. They simply absorb the reactive power (like any typical induction machine), so a switched capacitor bank is usually used to correct the power factor to unity.

  5. 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 ...

  6. Valley-fill circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valley-fill_circuit

    A valley-fill circuit is a type of passive power-factor correction (PFC) circuit. For purposes of illustration, a basic full-wave diode-bridge rectifier is shown in the first stage, which converts the AC input voltage to a DC voltage.

  7. Induction generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_generator

    The full-load current of the motor is 10 A and the full-load power factor is 0.8. Required capacitance per phase if capacitors are connected in delta: Apparent power S = 3 E I = 1.73 ∗ 440 ∗ 10 = 7612 V A {\displaystyle S={\sqrt {3}}EI=1.73*440*10=7612VA}

  8. Link budget - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link_budget

    As the albedo of the Moon is very low (maximally 12% but usually closer to 7%), and the path loss over the 770,000 kilometre return distance is extreme (around 250 to 310 dB depending on VHF-UHF band used, modulation format and Doppler shift effects), high power (more than 100 watts) and high-gain antennas (more than 20 dB) must be used.

  9. Common Power Format - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Power_Format

    The Si2 Common Power Format, or CPF is a file format for specifying power-saving techniques early in the design process. In the design of integrated circuits , saving power is a primary goal, and designers are forced to use sophisticated techniques such as clock gating , multi-voltage logic, and turning off the power entirely to inactive blocks.
