AC Circuits
Electrical power is generated, transmitted and
distributed in the form of alternating current (AC).Contents
• Sinusoidal AC waveform parameters
– Peak, rms, period, frequency, phase
• Phasors
– Complex numbers, impedance, leading/lagging.
• Stead state AC circuit anal sis.• Power in AC circuits.

Power factor correction example
An inductive load with a power factor of 0.5 draws 80 kVA at
400 V 50 Hz. Determine the ower and reactive ower and draw the power triangle. If a power factor correction capacitor
of 1mF is connected across the load, determined the new
power factor.

Summary
• Instantaneous AC power varies sinusoidally atou e t e requency.
• The average power in a resistance P=VI=I 2 R.
• The average power in a capacitance of inductanceis zero.
• An inductors absorbs reactive power Q= I 2ω L.
• A Capacitor generates reactive power Q=-I 2(ω C )-1
• Average power in a load is in general given byP=VI cosφ [Watt].

Summary continued• Reactive power in a load is in general given by
Q=VI sinφ [VAR].• Q is positive for an inductor and negative for a
capacitor.
• Apparent power S=VI , complex powerS
=P+jQ.• Poor ower factor cos increases transmission
losses and voltage regulation.
• Power factor can be corrected b connectin acapacitor across a load to generate VARs locally.
