This article presents two new electrical power terms called effective active (P ef ) power term and effective reactive (Q ef ) power term. These two terms, can approve the orthogonality relationship between fundamental and distorted components.At the same time, these terms are necessary to complete the form of the right-angled power triangle which is compulsory condition to calculate the total apparent (St) in the non-sinusoidal systems.This paper also, offers a new definition for the total apparent power St or can be called effective apparent power (S ef ) in nonsinusoidal situation in order to avoid the misconception of the old definitions. Moreover, it shows a new power diagram represents all power components in one diagram consists of six right-angled triangles called the right-angled triangle (RAT) diagram.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
