1. Electrical Resonance What is Resonance? In an AC circuit, electrical resonance is a condition where the inductive reactance (X_C) become equal, canceling each other out. This leaves only the circuit resistance (X_L = 2πfL): Opposition from inductors (e.g., motors, transformers). Increases with frequency. Capacitive Reactance (f_r) This is the specific frequency where f_r = 1 / (2π√(LC)) Wh...

Capacitor compensation cabinets can effectively improve the power factor of the power grid, save energy, and improve power supply quality. Power factor refers to the percentage of apparent power in a power grid that is used to supply active power. In the operation of a power grid, a higher power factor is desirable. If this is achieved, most of the apparent power in the circuit will be used to sup...

1.What is Harmonics? In power systems, the fundamental cause of harmonics is the presence of non-linear loads. When current flows through a load and does not maintain a linear relationship with the applied voltage, a non-sinusoidal current is formed, meaning harmonics are generated in the circuit. Harmonic frequencies are integer multiples of the fundamental frequency. As proven by the French math...
