Units and Nomenclature
⎡⎣ S ⎤⎦ = VA S = S = VI : apparent power
[P] = W θ =θ v − θ i : power factor angle
[Q ] = VAR cos (θ ) = cos (θ v − θ i ) : power factor
Different units to distinguish
different meanings.

Re Re
Current lags the voltage: Current leads the voltage:
Lagging PF Leading PF
Note:
• PF is only defined for angles between -90 and +90 degrees
• Talking about the power consumed by the load
• If P is negative, this means power is generated by load, not consumed
• To correct, flip the direction for current definition.
Another way to view complex power

( )
S = VI ∗ = Z II ∗ = ZI 2
v(t) Load Z = R + jX S = I 2 R + jI 2 X = P + jQ
P is power dissipated by resistors
- Q is power dissipated by reactances
Can also show that angle on
impedance is power factor angle
How do leading and lagging PF correspond to
circuit?

v = ω LI m ⎡⎣ − sin (ω t + θ i ) ⎤⎦ i = ω CVm ⎡⎣ − sin (ω t + θ v ) ⎤⎦
v = ω LI m sin ( −ω t − θ i ) i = ω CVm sin ( −ω t − θ v )
(
v = ω LI m cos ω t + ⎡⎣θ i + 90! ⎤⎦ ) (
i = ω CVm cos ω t + ⎡⎣θ v + 90! ⎤⎦ )
V = ω LI RMS ∠θ i + 90! I = ω CVRMS ∠θ v + 90!
