Does power factor vary with speed?If yes, how?If not, why?
Answer Posted / roysayan01
I think pf doesnt vary wid speed. PF mainly depends on
excitation / field current. When overexcited the pf becomes
leading while it lags when underexcited in a synchronous motor.
BUT
cos(phi)=R/Z;
& z=(x^2 + R^2)^1/2
& x=2*pi*f*L
so if speed changes(n=120f/p), frequency changes &
accordingly x changes & as a result pf changes wid change in
speed.
Really am confused.wat do u think?
