let's learn something about Power Factor Correction:- Every electric machine needs active power (kW) and reactive power (kVAr) to operate. The power rating of the installation in kVA is the combination of both: (kVA)2 = (kW)2 + (kVAr)2 or kVA = kW2 + kVAr2 The Power Factor has been defined as the ratio of active power (kW) to apparent power (kVA). Power Factor = (kW) / (kVA). The objective of Reactive Energy management is improvement of Power Factor, or “Power Factor Correction”. This is typically achieved by producing reactive energy close to the consuming loads, through connection of capacitor banks to the network Ensure reliability and safety at installations :- + Quality and reliability • Continuity of service thanks to the high performance and long life expectancy of capacitors. • 100% testing in manufacturing plant. • Design and engineering with the highest international standards. + Safety: • Tested safety features integrated on each phase. • Over-pressure system for safe disconnection at the end of life. • All materials and components are free of PCB pollutants. + Efficiency and productivity • Product development including innovation in ergonomics and ease of installation and connection. • Specially designed components to save time on installation and maintenance. .. .. .. #panel #LTpanel #panelbuilder #PCC #electrical #Energy #panel #PCCpanel #Electeicalstudy

Resistance (R) Definition: Resistance is the property of a material/component (like a resistor) that opposes the flow of current. Effect on voltage & current: Current is reduced in proportion to the resistance. Voltage across a resistor is in phase with the current (no delay). Reason: Energy is lost in the form of heat when charges collide with atoms in the resistor. 🔧 Example: Electric heater, bulb filament. Inductance (L) Definition: Inductance is the property of a coil (inductor) that opposes any change in current by creating a back EMF (voltage). Effect on voltage & current: Current lags voltage by 90° (voltage leads). Inductor “resists” sudden current surges. Reason: When current changes, a magnetic field is built or collapsed around the coil, inducing a voltage (Lenz’s law). 🔧 Example: Transformers, motors, chokes. Capacitance (C) Definition: Capacitance is the ability of a capacitor to store electrical energy in an electric field between its plates. Effect on voltage & current: Current leads voltage by 90° (voltage lags). It allows AC to pass (charges alternate) but blocks DC (once charged, no further flow). Reason: Capacitor charges and discharges as voltage alternates, pushing current ahead of voltage. 🔧 Example: Power factor correction, filters, energy storage. #follow #for #more #ElectricalEngineering #PowerSystems #EnergySolutions #EngineeringInnovation #SmartGrid #RenewableEnergy #IndustrialAutomation #Generators #SustainableEnergy #FutureOfEnergy #EngineeringLife #Technology #CareerGrowth #KnowledgeSharing #Motivation #ProfessionalGrowth #Resistance #Inductance #Capacitance

Whenever I discuss with many engineers about length of an HVAC transmission line and normally why OHTL length can’t exceed around 625 km for 60 hz frequency and they usually mention reasons such as voltage drop, Extra high voltage , high line reactance, and the increase of no load current. While these are correct from a practical perspective, the fundamental reason comes from the wavelength and Charging Current of the system. For a power system with a frequency of 60 Hz, the wavelength is about 5000 km, which corresponds to 360°. Normally, the operating limit of generators is set around a 90° load angle, which corresponds to a quarter of the wavelength, i.e., 1250 km. However, for system stability reasons, engineers typically restrict the operating angle to around 45°, which makes the practical transmission line limit approximately 625 km. Another important point is about charging current due to line capacitance that makes long HVAC transmission impractical and leads to excessive reactive power demand and requires expensive compensation. That’s why beyond 600–800 km, engineers typically switch to HVDC, which avoids this problem. This is the fundamental engineering basis behind the limitation of AC transmission line length. #TransmissionlineEngineer #OHTLDesign #Substation
