Don't have an account?
Power=P+P(cos(2wt))+Q(cos(2wt))
,but
Complex Power = P+jQ
Am I to assume that complex power is a phasor representation of the last two terms? Why does this formula ignore the first term?
and aparently it is also equal to
complex power =(Veff)(Ieff)
which is a scalar, but its also equal to
complex power=(Vphasor)(Iphasor)/2
which is a phasor
how can complex power be both a phasor and a scaler?
I think you have some how mixed up your formulaes.
The power is phasor, and is the phasor multiplication of two phasors ie V and I.
All other things are the approximation/mathematical expansion of these.
Start with phasor representations of v and I's in terms of the wt and Φ and then derive the mathematics and you know.
BTW why didn't you ask your professor?
i dont have a professor just a text book
its right here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC_power
search in that page for complex power, it makes sense as a phasor, but im looking at it right now in my book it says that complex power S=(Veff)(Ieff) which is a scaler
o wait i got it im sorry u were right, my text tricked me with some sneaky notation
Complex Power
