Коэффициент мощности — это отношение активной мощности к полной мощности.
Она определяется разницей фаз между напряжением и током, которые возникают из-за наличия в цепи реактивных элементов.
Можно провести аналогию со стаканом кофе, где кофе символизирует полезную активную силу, а пена – реактивную мощность, которая, несмотря на то, что не выполняет реальной работы, используется в определенных приборах.
Стоимость покрывает все стекло. Для достижения максимального значения реактивную мощность следует уменьшить, чтобы приблизить коэффициент мощности к единице.
Для чисто резистивной нагрузки синфазное напряжение и ток дают коэффициент мощности, где полная мощность равна активной мощности.
Для чисто реактивной нагрузки коэффициент мощности равен нулю, что означает, что активная мощность равна нулю.
Между этими крайностями фактор мощности либо опережающий, либо запаздывающий. Опережающий коэффициент мощности указывает на то, что ток опережает напряжение, подразумевая емкостную нагрузку.
Запаздывающий коэффициент мощности означает, что ток отстает от напряжения, что указывает на индуктивную нагрузку.

Коэффициент мощности

Коэффициент мощности определяется как отношение средней (или активной) мощности к полной мощности, что иллюстрируется соотношением

<img alt="Equation 1" src="/files/ftp_upload/15122/15122_Equation_1.svg" style="height: 30px;">

Термин в скобках (θv - ​​θ​i) называется углом коэффициента мощности, поскольку он представляет собой угол, косинус которого дает коэффициент мощности. Если U представляет напряжение на нагрузке, а Ⅰ обозначает ток, протекающий через нее, угол коэффициента мощности равен углу импеданса нагрузки. По сути, коэффициент мощности представляет собой косинус разности фаз между напряжением и током, а также косинус угла импеданса нагрузки.

Из приведенного выше уравнения можно сделать вывод, что коэффициент мощности является множителем полной мощности для получения реальной или средней мощности. Значение коэффициента мощности колеблется от нуля до единицы. При работе с чисто резистивной нагрузкой напряжение и ток совпадают по фазе, в результате чего угол коэффициента мощности (θ​v - ​​θ​i) = 0, а коэффициент мощности = 1. Это указывает на то, что полная мощность равна средней мощности. Для чисто реактивной нагрузки (θ​v -θ​i) = ±90o и коэффициент мощности = 0, что делает мощность равной нулю. Говорят, что между этими двумя крайностями коэффициент мощности либо опережает, либо отстает. Опережающий коэффициент мощности предполагает, что ток предшествует напряжению, указывая на емкостную нагрузку, тогда как запаздывающий коэффициент мощности предполагает, что ток следует за напряжением, указывая на индуктивную нагрузку. Коэффициент мощности существенно влияет на счета за электроэнергию, которые потребители платят своим коммунальным предприятиям.

Power Factor

power factor and ac load behavior

Power factor describes how voltage and current behave in an AC load. It is the ratio of average, or active, power to apparent power. The power factor angle is the phase difference between voltage and current, and the cosine of that angle gives the power factor. It also matches the angle of the load impedance.

Power factor shows how much apparent power becomes real, or average, power. Its value ranges from zero to one. When a load is purely resistive, voltage and current are in phase. In that case, the power factor angle is 0 and the power factor is 1, so apparent power equals average power.

A purely reactive load gives the opposite extreme. The phase difference is ±90°, and the power factor is 0, so the power is zero. Between these limits, the power factor can be leading or lagging. A leading power factor means current leads voltage, which points to a capacitive load. A lagging power factor means current follows voltage, which points to an inductive load.

Power factor also matters in everyday electricity use. It affects the electricity bills customers pay to utility companies. Understanding it helps explain why the phase relationship between voltage and current is important in AC circuits.

Power Factor and AC Load Behavior

instantaneous power

AC Power and Phase Shift

Instantaneous power in an electrical circuit comes from the voltage across an element and the current through it. It is written as p(t) and follows the passive sign convention. For sinusoidal input, this product helps show how power changes at each moment. When instantaneous power is expanded, it has two parts. One part is constant and depends on the phase difference between voltage and current. The other part is a sinusoidal term that varies at twice the frequency of the voltage or current. <br...

average power

Power Consumption in AC Circuits

Power consumption in AC circuits is often described with average power. In practical electrical work, the changing value of instantaneous power is less useful than the average over a time period. Average power is found by integrating instantaneous power over that time and then dividing by the duration. The time-domain expression for average power comes from simplifying the equation for instantaneous power. In that form, one cosine term averages to zero over a complete cycle. The result does...

effective value of a periodic waveform

RMS Value for AC Power Measurement

The RMS value, or effective value, helps measure how much power a periodic voltage or current can deliver. It is the direct current, or DC, value that gives the same average power to a resistor as the periodic signal does. This idea is especially important in AC circuits. To find the effective value of current, calculate the root mean square, or RMS, current. First square the instantaneous current values over one period. Then find the mean of those squared values and take the square root. The...

complex power

Power Triangle in AC Circuits

Power triangle and complex power help describe how an AC load uses energy. Engineers use complex power to capture the combined effect of parallel loads. It gives a full picture of the power consumed by a specific load. Complex power is found by multiplying voltage by the complex conjugate of current. Using rms values, it is written with the rms voltage phasor and the complex conjugate of the rms current phasor. It can also be written in terms of load impedance. The magnitude of complex power...

conservation of ac power

AC Power in Series and Parallel Circuits

AC power in series and parallel circuits follows a power preservation rule. In AC circuits, the complex power, real power, and reactive power produced by the source are equal to the total complex, real, and reactive powers absorbed by the loads. When two load impedances are connected in parallel to an AC source V, the source power can be written as the sum of the complex powers delivered to loads Z1 and Z2. If those same loads are connected in series with the voltage source, the complex power...

power factor correction

Reducing Reactive Power in AC Loads

Power factor correction helps AC systems use electrical power more efficiently. In a factory circuit, transmitted power includes apparent power, which is made of active power and reactive power. Power factor is the ratio of real power, measured in kW, to apparent power, measured in kVA. It shows how much of the supplied power becomes useful work. A low power factor often happens when an inductive load draws too much reactive power. This creates a lagging power factor. It can also cause large...

the power superposition principle

Power from Multiple AC Sources

Power from multiple AC sources is found by adding the effects of each source separately. In a circuit with two sinusoidal voltage sources, each source acts independently. The superposition principle says the total current is the sum of the currents produced by each source alone. If those currents are labeled i1 and i2, they combine to give the total current. Instantaneous power is the power at one moment in time. In this circuit, it equals the square of the instantaneous current times the...

the maximum power transfer theorem

Matching Load Impedance for Maximum Power

Maximum power transfer in an AC circuit depends on matching the load impedance to the Thevenin equivalent of the source network. The load draws current, and the circuit delivers power to that load. To analyze the current, the voltages, currents, network impedance, and load impedance are written in rectangular form. The average power delivered to the load comes from the square of the current multiplied by the load resistance. To find the condition for maximum power, the power is differentiated...
