NATE HVAC Exam Prep 13, Alternating Current Inductance and Power Factor

This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation. He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams. In this episode you will learn: - How frequency and inductance create counter electromotive force and inductive reactance in HVAC motor windings. - How to apply the ELI the ICE man mnemonic to remember voltage and current phase relationships in inductive and capacitive circuits. - The distinction between pure resistance, inductive reactance, and total circuit impedance measured in ohms. - How to differentiate between real power in watts and apparent power in volt-amps on NATE exam calculations. - The concept of power factor and how run capacitors reduce reactive current to improve motor operating efficiency.
