312-09 Phasors, Capacitance, Inductance and Symmetrical Components EPP (1 CEH)
Learning objectives
- Given a set of data, convert polar to rectangular form of a phasor
- Given a set of data calculate the impedance of the load for a resister and inductor connected to a series
- Identify how capacitors improve the power factor
Course overview
Resistance, capacitance, and inductance must be considered when analyzing AC circuits. Just as resistances oppose power flow in DC circuits, they also oppose current flow in AC circuits. Capacitors and inductors also oppose current flow in AC circuits and cause current to be out of phase with voltage. A simple mathematical description explains these effects without getting involved in wave forms.
The Phasors, Capacitance, Inductance, and Symmetrical Components training course explains how to convert data, using formulas, to improve power flow and efficiency. This course is useful for entry-level employees. It is also helpful for personnel who support system operations. This course is part of the Electric Power Principles training series.
