Input Parameters

The following design parameters were considered for this calculation:

Parameter	Symbol	Value	Notes
Voltage (Single Phase)	V	240 V	Single-Phase System
Efficiency	η	100	At rated load
Power Factor	PF	0.85	Lagging

Calculations

All calculations were performed in accordance with IEC standards and good engineering practice.

Current Calculation

The full-load current is calculated using the single-phase formula: This represents the current drawn by the single-phase load.

Formula: $$ \begin{aligned} I_{(A)} &= \frac{\left( \frac{P}{\eta} \right) \times 1000}{V_{(V)} \times PF} \\ &= \frac{\left( \frac{15}{1} \right) \times 1000}{240 \times 0.85} \\ &= 73.5 \; Amps \end{aligned} $$

Phase Angle Calculation

The phase angle is calculated using the formula:

Formula: $$ \begin{aligned} \theta &= \cos^{-1}(PF) \times \frac{180}{\pi} \\ &= \cos^{-1}(0.85) \times \frac{180}{3.142} \\ &= 31.8^\circ \end{aligned} $$

Single-Phase Voltage and Current Phasors

The phasor diagram shows the single-phase voltage and current phasors with the phase angle (φ) between them. The solid red line represents voltage phasor, while the dashed blue line represents current phasor lagging behind voltage.

Single-Phase Power Relationships

The power triangle illustrates the relationship between active power (P), reactive power (Q), and apparent power (S). Active power does useful work, reactive power oscillates between source and load, and apparent power is the vector sum of both.
