Overview
Credit: 4 technical hours
As a general concept, power describes the speed at which a certain amount of energy is released/transmitted by a system. In any domain, power is therefore expressed as a quantity of energy per unit of time. The international unit for the power is in Joules/second (J/s), which is also known as Watts (W). In electricity, instantaneous power is determined by the product of the voltage and current signals. In this course, we will focus on the power in AC circuits, which is different from DC circuits. Firstly, we discuss how to determine AC power and where its expression comes from. Then we introduce an important concept called the power factor, which is crucial to understanding the power in AC circuits. The power triangle concept is introduced, which is associated with some definitions. Lastly, we examine Power Factor Correction. Before finishing, we carry on to three-phase systems and learn to extrapolate our concepts from single to three-phase circuits.
This course is meant to eliminate the mysticism of electrical power calculation, including real, reactive, and complex power in the analysis of AC circuits. This is accomplished using clear, easy-to-understand, derived formulas, using only algebra and a minimum of trigonometry. The slides are clear and crisp, using sequential animation to gently guide the student through the logic.
