Power Factor and Efficiency in AC Circuits (Full Lecture)

In this lesson we'll examine power factor and efficiency in AC circuits. We'll learn power factor concerns itself solely with the conversion of apparent to real power and efficiency concerns itself solely with the transfer of real power through the system. Additionally, we'll examine scenarios in which there is a degree of overlap between power factor and efficiency and how these properties can influence each other as well as other circuit properties. Finally, we'll have a preliminary discussion about power factor correction. (Full Lecture)

This lecture sheds some light upon power factor correction which many industry workers have heard of but have no clear understanding.

[@gorillawarfare7523]

This is a great lecture, thank you

[@TsBrosHD]

Amazing lecture, helped me so much! Thank you!

[@altargull]

oh this is great for revision!!!

[@zdzisawk5198]

Jim Pytel. Ever heard about resonating circuits and Q factor?

[@bigbadtech]

Indeed I have. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXyzdYdposSkm80 Power factor corrected circuits are kind of like a parallel resonant circuit.

thanks!

Nice

[@Barzy123]

At 38:00 when i do the Is calculation. I get 1.15A at an angle of 9.27 degrees, not 0 degrees?

[@Barzy123]

My mistake, i did not read across to see the angle was x10^-4! Thank you!
