Why Alternator has 0.8 power factor?

Answer Posted / roushan.eee

it is at .8 pf because if we run the alternator at full load it may burn due to overload. as there are losses and variation in load, the alternator is fixed at certain pf. above it, it will trip.

My question is whether bellow formula is correct to find bus size for 46kA for 0.5 second & what is RT in bellow formula. formula to calculate the size of busbar to withstand the thermal stresses due to currents with duration of 0.2 sec to 5 sec. Sp = RT( I x I x t) / K Where Sp – is the cross sectional area of bus bar in millimeters. I -    is the value of AC fault current. t -    is the operating time of disconnecting device in seconds. K –  is the factor depending on the material of the conductor, insulation and initial and final temperature. Value of ‘k’ for copper is 143.
