Abstract :
In this paper, a new algorithm to calculate the power factor of the linear circuits in non-sinusoidal regime by introducing the conditions between the relative values of considered harmonics is presented. The relative values which characterize the voltage and current harmonics have been used. The MATLAB example will verify the efficiency of this method.
