Power Factor Correction - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Active power, P= Average power in a circuit
      - Apparent power, S = Vector summation of reactive power & true power
      - Reactive power, Q = Power that supplies the stored
        energy in reactive elements.
- - - - Power flow source to load & load to source.
      - PF lesser 1
      - Inductive load current lags behind voltage 90 deg.
      - Electric Motor, Fans or Washing macgine.
      - Load consumes only reactive power.
  - - - Less common than inductive and resistive loads.
      - Capacitive load current leads the voltage 90 deg.
      - Capacitor bank, Buried cables
      - Load consumes only capacitive power.
  - - - Lights or Heaters
      - Power always flow from source to load.
      - Voltage & current are perfectly in phase with each other
      - PF is unity (1.0)
      - Load consumes only active power.
- - - - Synchronous Condenser
      - Capacitor Bank
        
        INSTALLTION
        
        MAINTENANCE
