Given the following information determine the power factor o
Given the following information, determine the power factor of the load shown. p_l 600W. -- 120V. o.
Solution
a) I=6A,P=600 W,V=120 V
P=VICOSq
600=120*6*cosq
power factor=cosq=0.833
b) v=100<45,i=5<60
power factor=cosine of angle between voltage and current.
power factor=cosq=cos(60-45)=0.965
c)v(t)=99cos(wt+20)
v=99<20
i(t)=1.414cos(wt+10)
i=1.414<10
power factor=cosq=cos(20-10)=0.984
d) i=4.5<30
zl=330<50
v=i*zl=4.5<30*330<50=1485<80
power factor=cosq=cos(80-30)=0.642
e) pl=2000 w
v=500 v
re(z)=80 ohms
cosq=cos[inverse tan(imaginary part of z/real part of z)]
cosq=cos[inverse tan of 0]=1
