Concept:
The power triangle is shown below.
P = Active power (or) Real power in W = Vrms Irms cos ϕ
Q = Reactive power in VAR = Vrms Irms sin ϕ
S = Apparent power in VA = Vrms Irms
S = P + j Q
ϕ is the phase difference between the voltage and current
Power factor =
Calculation:
v = 200 sin(ωt + 30)
i = 10 sin(ωt - 60)
ϕ = -60 -30 = 0
ϕ = -900
cos ϕ = 0
