AC Network Analysis

The transmittal of power in AC circuits is introduced. Real and reactive power and how they are generated are explored. The reduction of AC circuit losses and voltage drop are determined using the concept of power factor correction via capacitor utilization. Methods to control circuit voltage are developed using the transformer. The concept of three-phase power generation, utilization and benefits are explored. AC Circuit Lab experiments are performed.
