Example text

From the relationships shown above among S, P, Q, E, I, and ␸, it can be readily shown that S, P, and Q form a triangle. By convention, Q is shown as positive (above the horizontal), when the circuit is inductive, and vice versa when capacitive (see Fig. 13). To demonstrate the use of the power triangle within the context of large generators and their interaction with the power system, we need to consider a one-line schematic that includes the generator, transmission system, and the connected load at the end (see Fig.

32). The importance of a three-phase system creating a constant field cannot be stressed enough. The constant magnitude flux allows hundred of megawatts of power to be transformed inside an electric machine from electrical to mechanical power, and vice versa, without major mechanical limitations. It is important to remember that a constant-magnitude flux produces a constant-magnitude torque. Now, try to imagine the same type of power being transformed under a pulsating flux (and, therefore, pulsating torque), which is tremendously difficult to achieve.

People with either electrical or mechanical backgrounds find this equivalence useful to the understanding of the physical process in either form of energy.
