Transformers are rated in KVA. (this is because the transformer is Unity power factor device i.e.. PF = 1)AnswerThe selection of a transformer is determined by the apparent power of the load, expressed in volt amperes(V.A), the load current, and the line voltage of the supply. The transformer must be able to satisfy these requirements.Transformers are not 'unity power factor' devices, which is precisely why their capacity is expressed in volt amperes, rather than in watts.
No.
No, it's never greater than the smallest number.
No. In the simple case of a linear circuit, the power factor is the cosine of an angle, and that can't be more than 1.
33 = 27 32 x 5 = 45 Three cubed is greater than three squared and 5 is greater than no 5 at all. 3 x 3 x 3 x 5 = 135, the LCM
Power factor cannot exceed unity!
Unity power factor has a value of 1.0. This means the current and voltage waveforms are in phase. This is only possible if the net load is non-reactive (resistive). If the load is either capacitively or inductively reactive, the power factor will be other than unity. If an inductively reactive load such as a motor is offset by a capacitively reactive load such as a PF correction capacitor, it is possible to acheive a net load that has unity power factor. Some loads, such as resistance heaters, are intrinsically non-reactive, and present a unity power factor.
not possible. power factor is an cosine angle between current and voltage...
What is the question for this situation
7 is an odd factor of 14 greater than 1
4 is greater than 3 and is a factor of 20.
Power Factor measures the difference in phase between the current and voltage. When they are in phase the Power Factor is defined as 1. When out of phase the value is less than 1. If they are 180 degrees out of phase the Power Factor will be zero.
15 is a number greater than 10 and a factor of 30.
Inductive loads have a power factor of less than 1, which means the apparent power is greater than the active power in these circuits. This is due to the lagging power factor caused by the inductive components in the load.
No, by definiton, a unit vector is a vector with a magnitude equal to unity.
Real Power: The actual power in Watts or K-Watts in AC or DC Circuits Apparent power: The Power in Inductive or Capacitive Circuits have Phase Lag & Lead measured in Volt Amperes VA or Kilo Volt Amperes KVA
For a purely resistive load with a unity power factor, 9.41 kVA would equal 9.41 kW. However some equipment such as a motor will have a power factor less than 1. If the power factor is 0.8 then 9.41 kVA would equal 9.41 x 0.8 kW.
