What is the effect if power factor is above 1 or unity.
Answer Posted / jothiprakash.t
Power factor is cosine angle between Voltage and
current.Suppose a alternator of capacity 5000KVA is
operated at unity powerfactor,then it means it can supply a
maximum load of 5000KW load (KW=KVA*P.F).If a same
alternator is operated at 0.8 p.f ,then it can deliver only
4000KW Which means the alternator was loaded maximum.To do
maximum loading of alternator then its power factor has to
be unity or close to unity.
If power factoris above unity, then -ve KVAr itself acts
as a load causing more current to draw from mains Which
leads to heating and also losses.

In Air circuit breaker LSIG protection unit is used. Without fault in cables (2 runs 3Cx150Sq.mm Copper, 1Kv grade, XPLE armored cable IR value is more than 550Mohm @ 500V Megger) and load section Long time Overcurrent protection is triggers and trips the unit. We changed LSIG protection with new factory tested unit. Even then fault is persisting. Please suggest the possible causes

How do i perform grounding of star point of Genset (400V) for making connection with step up transformer of DELTA-DELTA (400V to 20KV) ? while Genset itself has its own neutral and grounding bus bar inside genset breaker box whereas we have another neutral and grounding busbar in synchronizing panel next to genset at maximum distance of 6meter, would someone pls advice if we can only perform neutral grounding in synchronizing panel or should we ground neutral on both places inside genset breaker box and synchronizing panel.
