When is a transformer closet to unity power factor?

When it supplies a resistive load.


What will be the power factor if the load is non linear?

Non-linear loads such as VFD drives and other rectifier power supplies usually cause a leading PF, similar to a capacitively reactive load. Many power supplies nowadays, like IT (computer) power supplies are PF corrected, BUT, when they are not loaded to full capacity they still cause a leading PF. Apparently the correction is only accurate at full load.


What are the two voltage readings on the power supply?

The two voltage readings on a power supply typically refer to the output voltages it provides, which are often 5V and 12V for standard ATX power supplies used in computers. The 5V output is commonly used for peripherals and logic circuits, while the 12V output powers components like the CPU and graphics card. Some power supplies may also feature additional voltages, such as 3.3V, depending on the application.


What is electrical synchronization in power plants?

When two ac power supplies are to be connected to a common (bus bar) distribution, voltages, frequencies and phase angles of both power plants should be adjusted to equal values (or grid values) and connect.


What are the simple applications of bridge rectifier?

A bridge recifier is a full wave rectifier. It takes each part of the AC waveform, rectifies it and adds them together, giving a smoother output compared to a half wave recifier. They are used in simple power supplies, using a mains transformer, a bridge rectifier and a smoothing capacitor. Further regulation can then be added for stable power supplies.

What is special about AC power supplies?

AC power supplies are power supplies that use Alternating Current, which means that the current repeatedly changes its direction. AC power supplies are usually mains supplies as they are at a high voltage. Often filtering takes place between the mains supply and the device.
