Power Factor Angle for 3 Phase 3 Wire System Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Phase Difference = acos(Power Transmitted/(sqrt(3)*Voltage Underground AC*Current Underground AC))
Φ = acos(P/(sqrt(3)*V_ac*I))
This formula uses 3 Functions, 4 Variables

Functions Used

cos - Cosine of an angle is the ratio of the side adjacent to the angle to the hypotenuse of the triangle., cos(Angle)
acos - The inverse cosine function, is the inverse function of the cosine function. It is the function that takes a ratio as an input and returns the angle whose cosine is equal to that ratio., acos(Number)
sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)

Variables Used

Phase Difference - (Measured in Radian) - Phase Difference is defined as the difference between the phasor of apparent and real power (in degrees) or between voltage and current in an ac circuit.
Power Transmitted - (Measured in Watt) - Power Transmitted is the amount of power that is transferred from its place of generation to a location where it is applied to perform useful work.
Voltage Underground AC - (Measured in Volt) - Voltage Underground AC is defined as the amount of work or force required to start the conduction of current within a line.
Current Underground AC - (Measured in Ampere) - Current Underground AC is defined as the current flowing through the overhead ac supply wire.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Power Transmitted: 300 Watt --> 300 Watt No Conversion Required
Voltage Underground AC: 120 Volt --> 120 Volt No Conversion Required
Current Underground AC: 9 Ampere --> 9 Ampere No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

Φ = acos(P/(sqrt(3)*V_ac*I)) --> acos(300/(sqrt(3)*120*9))

Evaluating ... ...

Φ = 1.40972569221026

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.40972569221026 Radian -->80.7713324348213 Degree (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

80.7713324348213 ≈ 80.77133 Degree <-- Phase Difference
