Power factor explained | Active Reactive Apparent Power correction

[@chevywaldo8561]

I've been studying power factor for 40 years and this is literally the best educational piece I've ever read ❤

[@ericpilboue3276]

And you don't know the difference between power factor and cos phi ?? In the 70's pf was equal to cos phi

[@muralicoolhunk]

​@@ericpilboue3276Not just in 70s even now also cos phi is a pf? is nt it?

[@Torqueinxdirection]

@@ericpilboue3276 it is indeed ,, simple trig ratio Base/Hypot. nothing mysterious...

[@kucingbloon8462]

This is the most crystal clear explanation i've ever seen! Thankyou and keep up the good work Prof MAD!!

[@xivix3309]

This explanation helped me eliminate my curiosity about VAR and PF, thank you Prof. May you and your family be given health.

[@oddwad6290]

Very clear and professionally done . Todays educators need to take pay attention to how it needs to be done .

One of the best lessons about this topic ever, on the whole Internet! Thank You. 👍🏻

[@Profmad]

Wow, thanks!

[@Jack-sr6cw]

I cant understand why the others ive watched don't explain the topic like this, they'll jump straight into the power triangle out of nowhere. I wish All explainations could be this simple, thorough and effective

[@johnvincentjimar4157]

I have never understood the meaning behind the RLC circuits and power factors in our class until I saw this. Thank you.

[@elgatoJNF]

This is by far the best explanation I have ever seen for this. Thank you so much.

[@Profmad]

Wow, thanks!

[@sonikasohal7441]

This is the best video to explain this concept, I passed my Physics 1 exam just because of your videos, thank you so much for realistic and informative videos

[@kiren8745]

Man you are the silent legend. Not all the people in the world knows silent legends but once they know they will be never forgotten

[@giorgosiotis1557]

Real teaching for our minds. Bravo from Greece

[@ic_0129]

The animations are brilliant! Thanks for making it easier to understand!

[@tonywilson4713]

Australian engineer here - *FANTASTIC VIDEO* My degree is in aerospace but I have spent 35+ years in industrial control systems, automation and robotics. I have done a lot of motor control from DOL through to complex variable speed systems. So power factor is something I encounter all the time but its NOT something that I have to be intimately concerned about because if there is a power quality issue they (the client company) tend to call in specialists in power quality. Even when I ask people who have degrees in Electrical Engineering they aren't able to explain this well. Also right now in Australia energy is a massive public discussion where the political inaction has finally slammed into reality. So videos like this are an essential way of getting people up to speed on these subjects which are now so important.

[@abbas_oso]

I don't care if the comments are bots or not, this piece of content is pure gold. prof, i had a dream when i was in school, dream to change The entire education system, when i watch your videos i see my dreams comes true, i can't understand why governments doesn't apply similar kind of educational videos like those, it's clearly not to hard for them, but they would rather stick with a system that expires once the internet became a thing, when we look at the social media apps, we see ten's of experienced scientists working on making their app as attractive to the human mind as possible so that people stays on their website for long long times, the question that i want to ask is "why governments doesn't apply a better educational system when they clearly can?" sorry for making it long but that's something that was in my heart from a long time.

[@almendronman]

These kind of lessons and explanations proves how outdated the actual educational system is. This was awesome explanation Professor! :D Thank you sir!

[@Profmad]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@sunimalfernando4347]

❤️❤️❤️🫶👍✊

[@yuurishibuya4797]

@almendronman, shut the f up. While MAD Prof channel is doing an amazing job of visualising these concepts. These were all developed and used by millions of ppl for more than a century. Humans are curios, have the capability to read books think and visualise it mentally and build systems. Don’t blame the education system if you are too fucking lazy to put the effort to read books and assimilate it. These are taught to every physics major / electrical / electronics engineer and there are amazing books. Read Basic Electronics by B Grob, Lectures in physics by RP Feynman or Electronics Devices by Boylsted and Neshlsky.

[@davefuntilon5591]

[@posanwongso4619]

As far as I know, single phase motor, use a capacitor for starting, then when the motor running, does the same capacitor shift its function and serve as a power factor corrector ? thank you.

[@badernageral]

Incredible explanation, the best I've ever seen!

[@justindenti7619]

It's insane how clear you make the topics while my lecture professor spews nonsense for 3 hours. Thank you so much

[@Stefan-bz4eh]

I've been working with electronics since 1804 and I can confidently say this is by far the best explanation of power factor

[@alexgu278]

This is the BEST technique video ever. Clear, straight and precise. Thank you so much.

[@tashefeer]

Very clear and helped me eliminate my curiosity about PF

[@vanducnguyen874]

Thank you ❤❤❤ I wish do have the cristal clear explanation more than 50 years ago . I'm 72 years old. Thank you again ❤❤

[@solomongebreyesus3189]

I thinks this type of explanation will change the world. Thanks so much professor !!!!!

[@zedcarr6128]

Subscribed! That was one of the most concise explanations on this subject that I've EVER seen. GREAT STUFF! 😊👍👍👍👍👍

[@warwickgreenfield2893]

I'm an electrician in a field where capacitance, induction, power factor calcs aren't a large part of my daily work. Its a lightbulb moment to have them explained in such a clear way. Thanks

[@halcyon__r3289]

Vu mais doit noter. Great video , a lot of work has been done. There are good teachers who really work on their craft. Some just talk for hours in the most monotone voice ever.

[@DebJEE-y1v]

this is really best I have ever gone through...such a good concept...plz go on making such conceptual videos for us and rest of the world ...god bless you!

[@yinyanglovebomb]

Best video explaining PF ive ever seen. Great job

[@JosephChifamba]

Did this 39y ago in 1st yr BSc Eng. The best description I have ever heard. So well presented.

[@bob8086]

only video on this topic i could understand. Others focused on equations rather than applying the concept. Thanks so much

[@jojotropz1739]

Real and clear explanation of the power factor ever the interrelation of the formula is comprehensible

[@abhiarjunnaganna72]

This video deserves 1million views! Thank you ❤

[@ramontorres1385]

This is the very best and a very professional explanation I've ever found in my three decades career in electrical . Thank you Sir.

[@Profmad]

Wow, thanks!

[@dragan3290]

I've been doing a few electronics courses online to refresh what I learnt in early 2000's and I can honestly say that this video is so much easier to understand!!! Especially pictures? I don't know how or why but it's likea photo embedded in my head. Lol. It stays there and your explanation is excellent. Cheers from Australia subbed and liked 👍

[@Profmad]

Wow, thanks!

[@oscarsanglay5983]

no teacher or school of engineering in the University can present this kind of lesson .. Thanks YOUTube university..we learn a lot more in an hour than the semester of class in the school university

[@jimle22]

Thsi video explains in simple math terms and demonstrates visually how to calculate Power Factor and what it is. Thanks for clearing this up for me. Excellent info for electronics hobbyists.

[@nazeerahmedkalburgi3344]

Really the explanation took me to the memories of my first Year of Diploma in Electrical Engineering (1985). Very nice explanation and I subscribed.

[@seanperry5379]

I've been try to understand power factor and never knew exactly how to calculate what size capacitor to use, this is a big help thank you.

[@chulhokim431]

Impressive lessons! Thanks from South Korea

[@denishaloo]

Thank you🥰. I'm now a graduate in PF and PF correction

[@MUFASA_Y2K]

I loved your knowledge and method of illustrious explanation.... This attract student close to subject, however our tutors have done adding reactance to our brain and lagged our interest in the subject thereby ensuring our brain power factor is always less than 1😂 Thank you...keep teaching your followers with your technique.....

[@ravinderpalsingh3621]

Thanks Sir, you explained tough basics of electrical Engineering in a very simple way ( from zero level to top level). Great🙏

[@dwainblackwelder4078]

This is the best explaination I have ever seen. Did spot a minor typo error in the formula to calculate the "Reactive Power (Inductive)" at 19:08 in the video. QL=I2XL. When you plugged in the values, you are showing 1.410 volts squared. This should be 1.410 amps squared since the formula is squaring the current and then multiplying by the impedence of 60.319 ohms.

[@alanphillips5853]

Hold a first class degree in electrical engineering - don't touch AC that often so always watch refreshers - I was always a sucker for the maths - I love calculating c to work out b to get to a made me feel like I achieved something when I got the right answer after 3 pages of calculations lol!! - this was an excellent explanation, - very informative and easy to follow and understand.

[@MBANZUKE]

I went to college for years to understand this and you did it in a few minutes with this video..!!

[@pahriadaroswm]

i've been 3 hours spended for learning about power factor, but your video was amazing. Thank Youuuuuu

[@Pedroespecial101]

Good lord - the first video that actually made sense of PF for me! Thank you 😍

[@mrindiresh2175]

Best explanation of reactive power and how it is caused thank you sir

[@aldrinalanguilan5070]

I'm so happy that this kind of videos exist. Kudos to you sir! I hope you further create electrical videos in order to educate us.

[@panos4386]

dude...this is priceless...Makes me think all the bad professors i had all these years.

[@rabishankar8584]

Dear Professor 🙏. It's the 1st time i had watched video from Patreon. It's mind blowing, i subscribe with bell 🔔 ikon immediately. Thank you so much 🙋‍♂️🙏🌷

[@jacobvandijk6525]

FOR EVERY KZbin-VIDEO THERE IS AN AUDIENCE, NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES THE SUBJECT HAS BEEN DEALT WITH ON KZbin BEFORE. SO THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING NEW CONTENT-WISE, BUT I LIKE THE STRUCTURE OF THE VIDEO. Well done!

[@jacobvandijk6525]

I wasn't looking for any heart(s). For that I use other places than KZbin.

[@hwanchoi6760]

I've been studying electric for the test, now I'm understanding that meaning of power factor. Thank you!

[@Outwars1]

AWESOME explanation for a beginner. TRULY. I also love the simple statements on how using the effects caused by other components to compensate for others.

[@ABHISHEKSingh-205]

Excellent way of teaching.

[@rabishankar8584]

Excellent explanation with Graphic animation and step by step approach. It's awesome; that reminds me of school days n my physics teacher who used 2 different colours chalk pcs together on black board, with minimal facilities during mid 70s of 20th century. Thank you so much

[@yuurishibuya4797]

Beautiful done. Loved your presentation style. I still vividly remember the first network analysis class where this type of problem was solved. Though it was solved fairly quickly on black board, it took me couple of hours to figure it out completely later in the day. It was a fun class.

[@gonzaloborrazas9542]

Thank you mom for sending me to english classes when I was a kid and now That I am an university student I can understand this great explanation

[@Mahmoud_Gabr]

Absolutely brilliant video with detailed, simple and clear explanation! Thanks

[@pusalkombe3565]

I am a newbie and this explanation just sums up my entire 4 year degree ❤

[@Kevin-rj5zp]

This video really helped me to understand what my uni notes and another video couldn't help me with. Thanks a bunch!

[@ИзвестныйАпрасад]

Super sir, To understand I took lot of time. I work as Technician in Bangalore

[@opal177]

Never seen a clearer explanation. Thank you.

[@Profmad]

Glad it was helpful!

[@lahirusandaruwan489]

You're teaching very well than our university lectures !!❤️❤️❤️

[@Profmad]

Glad to hear that

[@aremaka4438]

15:28 it shows a British UK wall plug and underneath it is written USA electric figures which is 120V AC, 60Hz. In UK we use 230V AC, 50Hz. Just to inform you. You are a brilliant teacher by the way

[@transformateur9969]

THANKS ! This cannot be explained better!! Well done !

[@Profmad]

Glad you liked it!

[@PaulGitau-n8t]

This is the best explanation I have ever got. Thank you. Best 👌

[@lorencs7162]

Thanks a lot, the clearest explaination I've come across of Power factor and how to increase it 🙏

[@zawilious]

what happens to the Reactive power that goes back to the Mains power source ? does it re-combine with the grid and helps power other loads ? or does it goes straight to the return/ground path being wasted ? you mensioned in the videos that it keeps oscillating back and forth between the source and the reactive component, does that mean that the amount of this power is being conserved and not comsumed at all ?

[@JayathNandana]

one of the best lesson i have ever seen on this topic thanks

[@azriSAMnnn]

I can't remember how many times I have to rewatch this video 😂. anyways such a great video 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Absolutely brilliantly presented info!

[@hermanusscholtz]

Sho!! this is a crazy amazing concept video !! its extremely easy to understand

[@Unknown-y4h9f]

Thank u, it's the best explanation of this topic I've ever seen before! Amazaing how easily its possible to explain instead of hours spent at lections in university. One thing not explained in video how energy flow will be changed due to presence of condesator, I mean when there is only power source and inductor, the inductor during discharging directs power back to the source. How it will be changed dut to condesator presence, will it charge condenser and after that condenser gonna be dicharged, but in which moment?

[@kennethayebare8794]

Well explained. Bravo from Uganda
