What is Power factor ? Easiest Explanation | TheElectricalGuy

[@tedlahm5740]

First person to ever refer to AC current as RMS current. AC voltage as RMS yes, but no one refers to AC current that way, although it is accurate. Thank you.

[@hussain6953]

Thanks a lot. What take several hours in school to explain you did it in minutes. Keep the good job.

[@orochimaru1253]

😍 best electrical channel award goes to your channel .........👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏.from three phase electricity to power factor.......

[@aamermohammed5916]

Easiest explanation ever, now my concept is clear

[@Doolie_Doink]

There is I believe a mistake @ 4:46 it should say Z = Square root of (R squared + X squared ) NOT square root of R squared + square root of x squared.

[@GauravJ]

yes that's true. that's a typographical error. Instead of showing square root for all, I have shown separately.

Factor

[@Ustad-p3z]

sir I have another question as well if the inductor consumes no power at all than why and how induction motor consumes power ? why and how induction motor consumes more current at the same voltage when the load connected to the motor increases? waiting for answer.

[@MechTech_Automation]

Love you sir may god bless you!

Plz make vedio on four quadrant power factor

[@GauravJ]

We’ll try for that 👍🏻

[@pic1989able]

Useful explanation sir.. Sir if Active power is the only useful power in the circuit then what is the purpose/use of Reactive power??? Pls explain!!!!

[@electricinsights]

Reactive power doesn't really have a purpose, it's just part of the reality of physics! Think of the foam in a beer, when you pour a beer (poorly), there's lot of foam (called head). This foam eventually dissipates, and doesn't add value to the drink. Reactive power is the same thing but with electricity. It's just a consequence of the frequency waves of AC power

[@awalsakibmohammed3985]

[@fatimazahramessaoud3905]

excellent explanation thank u

[@dhananjayreddy9998]

Sir Reason behind using j while calculating impedence R+jX Anyways we are converting the inductance to ohms and unit of resistor also ohms then why ??

[@ANBALAGANS-f3l]

Sir, Good afternoon. Understood, The Following portion Not understood.Active Power = I2R = 515.04 VAR , Reactive Power = I2XL = 431.30 VAR, Apparent Power = I2Z = 671.85 VA, How this values are calculated.

[@mahendramahida841]

[@jainamchheda]

Sir what type of power is given if there is only pure capacitive load??

[@zozo71zozo71]

the best!!!

[@shahzadakhan3786]

Nice video

[@motobacktoconstitution4138]

You didnt slanswer at end youe question of 1st question so if 0.t pwer factor say it means active power is 70% of apparent power right 70% effective use right if power factorcsay 1 means 100% effective right ?

[@krishna83566]

In the above power graph must be greater than than volatge and current.i had a question.why we take power factor as cos thita,why nt sin thita

[@lakkasaimadhav5492]

Sir, why apparent power is equal to zero in purely inductive circuit

[@DineshKumar-ct2sb]

sir, diesel generator की नेम प्लेट पर पावर फैक्टर (.8) क्यूँ लिखा होता है। इसका क्या मतलब है।

[@crazyshizyo]

Where did you get the value of 50 from for when you used the formula Xl = 2*3.14*FL

[@khalidabduljaleel]

It is the frequency of the alternating current, usually it is 50 or 60 Hz

[@shubhamparashar6077]

The expression for the impedance is wrong.. but answer is correct

[@donberg01]

At substations, I noticed what is called a "reactors" & "line traps" could you explain these devices?

[@GauravJ]

Sure. I’ll try.

[@user-dc6ho3xp7w]

sir ..i hv a question about load calculation and how to devide in 3 phase, there is a 125 kva generator load is 400watt flood lights and 10000 watts sound system, how many flood light i can apply with include 10kw sound system and how to devide on each phase ?are these inductive ,capacitive or resistive load?plz explain mathematically.

[@ratikantamahapatra8847]

How power factor is depends upon shaft load of an Induction Motor?

[@Ustad-p3z]

Mistake at 4:42 z=110.24 according to the given signs

[@Ahmed0824M]

How did you get the values for xl=2 x 3.14 x ? x ? And then you got 50.24 ohms

[@that1electrician]

XL= 2(3.14)(Frequency)(L)

[@rakshithsalunke4112]

Why power factor Showes negative sign sir

[@abbasamir4878]

How power is return to source ?

[@akshaydhole7329]

sir, the formula for Z is wrongly typed I guess in inductive circuit. Please check it once.

[@gabordeak786]

AT 4.40 the formula is not written correct, but the result is OK

[@elinevanderdonckt4081]

What happens if the AC grid feeds an ohmic-capacitive load (a series connection of a resistor and a capacitor) instead of the above ohmic-inductive load?

[@danielfranchette5547]

I'm reading your question today (three years later), you may have already gotten an answer. It is not advisable to find yourself in this situation with a high capacitive value because the circuit risks behaving like an RLC circuit (resitance inductance capacitance) with resonance and overvoltage phenomena (real circuits comprising a lot of inductors parasites). The networks include reactive energy compensators (either using capacitors or overexcited alternators) to make the best use of the transmission lines and approach a power factor as close to 1 as possible. In addition, capacitive loads generate significant overcurrents on power-up (see the behavior of computer switching power supplies) which is not the case with inductive loads which pose more problems when the current is cut. A particular case concerns generators using asynchronous machines (in hypersynchronous mode) a capacitive load is required to be able to start this type of generator.

[@dexterfang7516]

the total impedance is not right for the series-connected case

[@Martin5599]

7:40 is mistake.. its 142,86 % total amount of power required..

[@rajansingh7620]

Your video is cool Bt the background music disturbes

[@ramprasadram5808]

Sir you were said in ur summary points if only load is pure inductive then the PF becomes zero. my doubt is, the induction motor consists only pure inductor(winding)so there is only reactive power bt the name plate of motor shows some value of power factor ,here where is the active power plz clarify me I'm waiting for ur reply

[@GauravJ]

ramprasad ram, nothing is pure in this world. Same thing is also applicable to electrical equipments. Winding in the motor has it’s own resistance, & hence pf is not zero.

[@ramprasadram5808]

Sir is the positive half cycle of react power indicates active power

[@GauravJ]

ramprasad ram, yes. Watch my video on Active reactive and apparent power for more clear explanation.

[@ramprasadram5808]

Thank you sir before this i thought the combination of both +ve nd -ve cycles indicates reactive power now its cleared.

[@pradeepchoudhary1627]

So what does, organizations and Universities do to maintain high power factor? So that they don't get a penalty?

[@manoj9596]

they install a suitable capacitor

[@dhananjayreddy9998]

Sir, Can you please message me the statement you said @ 04:11 About Statement on reactive power

[@GauravJ]

Hi. You can find that here. www.theelectricalguy.in/tutorials/what-is-power-factor/

[@dhananjayreddy9998]

Sir, @ 06:50 why can't we add active power + Reactive power directly to get apparent power as both are powers though units are different.(I feel units are given just to differentiate the powers which is useful )

[@GauravJ]

It is the load who decides which power to be consumed. It depends upon the load.

[@dhananjayreddy9998]

@@GauravJ Thanks for your reply Sir But I am looking for is Let it be we have RL load While calculating apparent power it is sq root of Act P square + React P square Why can't we add directly Apparent power = Active power + Reactive power

[@GauravJ]

That is the formula my friend. It is derived from certain equations and calculations. We will not get correct result by directly adding active and reactive powers.

[@dhananjayreddy9998]

@@GauravJ Yes it is formula, but I am looking for the reason why they are doing so. If I go to market and I do purhase of 1kg apple and 1kg banana total is 2kg When it comes to these powers we are coming with imaginary.part (i). We are doing this even for while calculating impedence and appranent power

[@dhananjayreddy9998]

Sir, I know you are busy with the finding the content and making video. When you get free time please msg me @ 9600178909.

[@anwarhussainansari13]

Sir why PF is Active power÷ apparent power & why not PF is Active power÷reactive power ?

[@tedlahm5740]

Must use apparent power as the divisor to get a result less that 1 . Power factor always less that one. Your method would be higher?

U need to get your facts straight bro, 1st, reactance is not inpedance. 2nd, in inductive loads, current lags behind voltage. Third, can u say "is equal to" instead of "is equals to"? 😅
