 Objectives
1. Introduction to power of 3 phase system
2. Comparisons of power loss between 3phase and single phase system
3. Complex power, Average power and apparent power
Instantaneous power in 3 phase system
 Comparisons of power loss between single and 3 phase systems

Show that 33% more loss in single phase system

Complex power, real power and apparent power

We have average power

 Average power, apparent power and power factor
• which is average power in ac circuit. This can also be written watt, where S= is
known as apparent power i.e. VA.
• The average power in the circuit is the useful power absorbed by the load.
• Power facto pf is the dimensionless parameter which is the ratio between the
average power and the apparent power, therefore

• The pf is the cosine of the phase difference between voltage and current in a
circuit.
• If current leads the voltage then pf is leading otherwise lagging.
