AC Phase Angle & Impedance

Find the phase angle, impedance and power factor of an R-L or R-C circuit, or the angle from a time shift, free online.

You know

R (Ω) — or time shift Δt (ms)

X (Ω, + inductive / − capacitive) — or frequency f (Hz)

For a series circuit with resistance R and reactance X: |Z| = √(R² + X²), φ = arctan(X ÷ R) and power factor = cos φ. Use positive X for an inductor (current lags voltage) and negative X for a capacitor. A time shift Δt at frequency f corresponds to φ = 360° × f × Δt.
