POWER FACTOR IMPROVEMENT AND VOLTAGE CONTROL
POWER FACTOR
The cosine of angle between voltage and current in an a.c. circuit is known as power factor.
The power factor plays an importance role in a.c. circuits since power consumed depends upon this
factor.
Power consumed in single circuit is
𝑷 = 𝑽𝑳 𝑰𝑳 𝐜𝐨𝐬 ∅
Load current in single phase circuit is
𝑷
𝑰𝑳 =
𝑽𝑳 𝐜𝐨𝐬 ∅

IMPORTANCE OF POWER FACTOR
Power consumed in 3 phase circuit is
𝑷 = 𝟑 𝑽𝑳 𝑰𝑳 𝐜𝐨𝐬 ∅
Load current in 3 phase circuit is
𝑷
𝑰𝑳 =
𝟑 𝑽𝑳 𝐜𝐨𝐬 ∅
It is clear from above that for fixed power and voltage
The load current is inversely proportional to the power factor.
Lower the power factor, higher is the load current and vice-versa.
