Strømsfase

Strømsfase, also known as phase or phase angle, is a fundamental concept in electrical engineering and physics, referring to the relative position of a sinusoidal waveform in a cycle. It is typically measured in degrees or radians and is crucial for understanding the behavior of alternating current (AC) systems. In a three-phase AC system, which is common in power distribution, the phases are offset by 120 degrees from each other. This phase difference allows for the efficient transmission of power and the generation of a rotating magnetic field in electric motors. The phase angle is also essential in analyzing the power factor, which indicates the efficiency of power transfer in an AC circuit. Understanding strømsfase is vital for engineers and technicians working with electrical systems, as it helps in designing, analyzing, and troubleshooting various electrical devices and networks.
