Electrical Engineering: Ch 12 AC Power (50 of 58) Power Factor Correction: Example Part 1

[@lrobertiii]

I have wanted to ask; what are your particular credentials? Are you an engineer? A physicist? A mathematician? All of them? How did you manage to come about learning all of these subjects in the sciences and maths?

[@MichelvanBiezen]

I am a physicist, worked as an engineer, taught classes in radar, math, physics, chemistry, astronomy, and physical science at work and multiple colleges and a university, and kept studying and learning on my own. I believe the key is to keep learning through life and not stop once you leave the university.

What if the load was capacitive reactance? so the correction will be inductive reactance?

[@davidtrudeau-D.T.]

There is a mistake at the unit of mesure for the angular velocity, should be; radian per second "R^-1". Not Hertz "Hz".

[@MichelvanBiezen]

You are correct. Even though both rad/sec and Hz have the same units, (1/sec), they have different meanings. Hz = cycles/sec

[@davidtrudeau-D.T.]

@@MichelvanBiezen 2πf is not equal to something in Hz. f, frequency (cycles/sec) is mesure in Hz).

[@MichelvanBiezen]

Yes, I wrote you were correct. The units of radians per second = 1/sec and the units of Hz = 1/sec, so the units are the same, but the meaning is different. One is 2 pi times the other as you indicated.

377 rad/s
