RLC Parallel Circuit

An electrical circuit consisting of resistors (R), inductors (L), and capacitors (C) connected in parallel, affecting the impedance and phase of the circuit.

Inductive VARs

Volt-Amps Reactive attributed to inductance in a circuit, representing power that oscillates between the source and an inductive load but does not perform work.

Impedance

A measure of the opposition that a circuit presents to the passage of a current when a voltage is applied, incorporating both resistance and reactance.

Parallel Circuit

An electrical circuit configuration where components are connected across common points or junctions, leading to the same voltage across all components but different currents through each.
