Calculating Power Factor

GVP · June 23, 2025, 1:44pm

I have created a full-wave rectifier bridge and getting the current and voltage waveforms as expected. However, I’m not able to understand how to calculate RMS voltage and current so that I can calculate the Power factor. Can anyone please guide me with this?

CTRL + right click on a plot label.

Thanks a lot. This displays a calculated value in the output window and not another plot. Is it possible to plot power factor by using a formula? Like PF = V(t)I(t) / VrmsIrms ?
