Leading power factor means what? what is the power factor value while in power factor is leading? is power factor greater than one? In some cases i heard pf 0.8 leading then what about 0.8 lagging?
Answer Posted / adnan
Power factor is cos of angle between voltage and current. Leading and laagging of pf means, if current is leading voltage or behind voltage.
To understand leading and lagging of voltage and current refer to sinusoidal graph of voltage and current.
PF can never be more than 1, as value of cos (phi) never exceeds 1.

need to make a report. Need to choose a 3phase induction motor. Load conditions motor will operate in : Maximum Load: 30 Kw Speed: 2950 rpm Ambient temp: 20 cent Supply voltage: 440V Frequency: 50Hz need to look for the safety factor when choosing the motor, went through catalouge found a few, but dont know how to choose the safety factor allowing an extra load something above 30 KW to avoid any harm.
