    Power factor correction???

    agree with normGA work out in polar-change to rectangular,add,convert back to polar I=12.86A pf=0.73 bear in mind normal uk supply is now quoted at 230V

    V=Vmax sin(wt +/- phase angle)

    to jbartos-thanks-the equations required refer to an instantainous value using red phase as the reference vector , therefore the -assumption- is that in an ideal situation with exact phase angle differences on the coils the other phases are exactly 120 degrees displaced at any given...

    V=Vmax sin(wt +/- phase angle)

    thanks guys-i realised my mistake was leaving the angular displacement/time out of my answers. yeah i understand the cos equations but for the purpose of this exercise i have to show the sin formula. many thanks for jogging my memory steviesparkie.

    Hazardous Locations - Paint Shop

    in UK, spark proof / intrisically safe equipment required, suspect same where you are.Sugest contacting local authorities for confirmation or simply telephone a local electrical contractor who should be aware of laws/regulations in your area. you might want to check with your building insurers...

    V=Vmax sin(wt +/- phase angle)

    3 phase ac generation, i need help in expressing the voltage equations for 3 phase. is it simply Vr=Vmaxsin 0,Vy=Vmax sin 120, Vb=Vmax sin -120, yr 2 of hnc electrical engineering. sorry but im a bit dim.
