The inductor is a component that can convert electrical energy into magnetic energy and store it. The structure of the inductor is similar to that of a transformer, but there is only one winding, which only hinders the change of current. If the inductor is in the state of no current passing through, when the circuit is connected It will try to hinder the flow of current through it. If the inductor...
Power Factor Correction Power Factor Correction improves the phase angle between the supply voltage and current while the real power consumption in watts remains the same, because as we have seen a pure reactance does not consume any real power. Adding an impedance in the form of capacitve reactance in parallel with the coil above will decrease Θ and thus increases the power f...
Due to the rapid development of power electronic technology, the nonlinear characteristics of industrial and agricultural power loads, especially transportation and civil electrical products are becoming more and more serious, and the power factor of users is also declining. Therefore, reactive power compensation devices are more and more widely used. The power compensation device is used to suppl...
Three-phase lines are common: three-phase three wire, three-phase four wire The three - phase three - wire system is star connection neutral point ungrounded and Angle connection method, the general high - voltage power supply uses three - phase three - wire system, three - phase four - wire is star connection neutral point grounding, low - voltage system uses three - phase four - wire system. &nb...
Effect of Poor Power Factor The major effect of poor power factor is higher value of line current. We know that power factor (pf) is an important parameter for calculation of power in an AC circuit. For a given power and voltage, the current flowing through the line is inversely proportional to the power factor. This means that a poor power factor i.e. low power factor will result in hig...
With the development of society and the increase of demand for electricity, Reactive power compensation technology has developed rapidly, including Static VAR Compensation and Dynamic Reactive Power compensation, and has gained rich operating experience. However, some problems have also been exposed in practice. Some reactive power compensation devices are inconvenient to move, and the equipment m...
The utility model patent discloses an Enhanced Active Power Filter with a three-phase unbalance adjustment function. The IGBT converter of the Enhanced Active Power Filter is a three-level three-phase four-wire four-arm PWM transformer. The fourth bridge arm is connected in parallel with the remaining three bridge arms, and the midpoint of the fourth bridge arm is connected to the neutra...
The existing power grid is usually equipped with a large number of nonlinear electronic components. These nonlinear electronic components will generate corresponding harmonics during the working process, among which high-order harmonics will interfere with the electrical equipment in the power grid and seriously affect the power supply. Power quality in the grid. In order to reduce the adverse eff...
