Abstract

Continuing the work of S. Fryze and C.I. F. Budeanu, we examined the errors and contradictions in determining inactive capacities. The errors and contradictions were caused by the formal extrapolation of the symbolic method onto electric circuits with non-sine-wave currents and voltages. This article shows that the testing of operational modes of non-sine-wave single-phase ac mains requires representing voltages and currents on a complex plane as generalized vectors for which it is necessary to determined paired projections on orthogonal axes.
