Understanding the Power Triangle and Power Factor

This example provides a quick review of right triangle trig and then applies it to the Power Triangle. Watts [W], Volt-Amps[VA] and Reactive Power [VAR] are considered and the concept of Power Factor is discussed with real world application of unity and inductive loads leading it increased amp power draw.

I’m an electrician and I remember learning this in the first 4 months into the trade!

Hi Jonathan, I like your lecture.Thanks

[@jenko701]

Great video , to the point . This is an excellent subject to understand because it gives you insight in impedance matching. It's a wonderful thing to have your current and voltage in alignment.

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.

[@pgousdal3132]

Great! Will you make more videos?

[@graceyj20]

+pgousdal Probaby, do you have any topics you'd like to see?

[@pgousdal3132]

Maybe wye/delta.

Maybe wye/delta.

Any reason you used circular arcs instead of an actual sine wave in your graph? :)
