Answer / mariappan
Power factor is the phase angle difference between Voltage
and current waves. When the power factor low, it draws more
current to maintain the power

Answer / pragati
power factor is defined as the cosine of angle between
voltage and current.
From the power triangle, we can define power factor as the
ratio of active power and apparent power.
It is also defined as the ratio of resistance and impedance.

Answer / pragati
Power factor is defined as the cosine angle between voltage
and current. i.e.,power factor is cos$.
KVA=KW/cos$
To improve power factor,we have to decrease the Apparent
power i.e.,KVA.

What will be the effect of in HT XLPE 220 KV cable when one side of the Armour/cable ends are not grounded. Will there is difference between 3-phase voltages? like: if A. Both End of Cable grounded Phase Voltages:- V1=219 KV, v2=220 Kv, v3=220 KV. B. One End is grounded other is not: than Impact on Phase Voltages:- V1= KV, v2= Kv, v3= KV. Remain same or unchanged??

At site, we have 30Kw motor (3 phase, 400V,50Hz) and FLC 54A as per the nameplate. At the time of starting it draws 840A instead of 390A (7.2%). As per the data sheet also its 390A starting current. it thru a dol starter from the MCC. can anyone tell what is the problem in the motor
