why do power factor in the three phase induction motor
increases with the load ???.

Answer Posted / sharan dilip

In the -ph systems the pf decreases as load Increases.
But In the induction motor it quite different.
At no load or light load the current drawn by induction
motor is is comparable with the magnitude of the magnetizing
current which lags much behind the applied voltage and hence
low pf @ low or no-loads.
While the load increases the current drawn by the induction
motor increases. As the secondary of i.m. is short
circuited.The current operates at a higher power factor.

a)In a 3-phase 4-wire circuit, a circuit breaker is selected to protect the circuit whose highest fault level is 6.6 MVA. Determine the required minimum breaking capacity in kA. (Note: Covert 3-phase power in terms of kA to find answer.) b)Using the below, determine the required minimum making capacity in kA as a “peak value”. Rate breaking capacity (Icn) ka: Icn<= 1.5 Factor = 1.41 1.5
