Solid Dielectrics Used in Practice

Solid Dielectrics Used in Practice: The majority of the insulating systems used in practice are solids. They can be broadly classified into three groups: organic materials, inorganic materials and synthetic…

Power Factor Improvement

Power Factor Improvement: The low power factor is mainly due to the fact that most of the power loads are inductive and, therefore, take lagging currents. In order for Power…

Low Power Factor

Low Power Factor: The Low Power Factor plays an importance role in ac. circuits since power consumed depends upon this factor. It is clear from above that for fixed power…

Power Factor

Power Factor: The electrical energy is almost exclusively generated, transmitted and distributed in the form of alternating current. Therefore, the question of power factor immediately comes into picture. Most of…

Methods to Leading Power Factor

Methods to Leading Power Factor: We have seen that a phase controlled converter requires reactive power for control and commutation. The harmonics do not contribute to the active power loading…
