Examples

High-voltage direct current lines are restricted only by thermal and voltage drop limits, since the phase angle is not material to their operation. Source: Internet

However, the relative phase angle between each pair of lines (1 to 2, 2 to 3,and 3 to 1) will still be −120°. Source: Internet

In this case the phase angle is the phase difference between the voltage applied to the impedance and the current driven through it. Source: Internet

Power factors are usually stated as "leading" or "lagging" to show the sign of the phase angle. Source: Internet

Since the power flow in a DC link is controlled independently of the phases of the AC networks at either end of the link, this phase angle limit does not exist, and a DC link is always able to transfer its full rated power. Source: Internet

The measured phase angle therefore depends on several biological factors. Source: Internet
