  Thanks Professor! Back in undergraduate Electrical engineering, we were heavy on theoretical with little or no lab time to provide the mental reinforcement that only comes with some hands-on. You did a great job of providing that! I'll be watching for you!

  One of the simplest step by step theory and practical demonstrations I've watched. So easy to follow. Thanks for posting.

  Lovely to see the combination of THEORY and PRACTICE. Thank you!<br>Horse-power tells us that it is mechanical power, not electrical power.

  This has been one of the best and clearer explanations regarding all the calculations involved. Thank you very much, from Peru.

  Prof, this well made video will go down the centuries for any interested electrician. I was looking for such an explanation for the past 30 years.

  This is the best PF i have ever seen. Thank you very much. Im working on a project and ive been looking for a video to properly explain this to me.

  I made a spreadsheet that automates all this calculations. Thank you so much for sharing. Greetings from Panama 🇵🇦

  This is an excellent video explaining in depth the Power Factor capacitance for reducing the input current and running cost of single-phase motors. Well done.

  Great video. You can do this physically by measuring the reactive inductance. &nbsp;This is what they do on power lines for PFC as well. &nbsp;Every so many kilometers of power line need a capacitor to bring the PF back in range it varies depending on conditions and materials.
