When it comes to the most typical cause of poor power factor in a facility, motor inductance is a likely culprit. The problem worsens when motors are not loaded to their full capacity. Harmonic ...

Battelle’s two-curve method (TCM) fracture arrest predictions for X70 grade steels and higher requires a correction factor for the predictions to be accurate and useful for selecting pipe steels. The ...

Electric motor power efficiency has taken center stage. Individuals, corporations, and governments are increasingly interested in saving power, now that technology can make it possible and economy ...

While applications for 1-Phase PFC are now familiar and prevalent, the same is not the case with 3-Phase PFC. Many equipments using kilowatts of power from 3-Phase mains should be candidates of ...

1. Power-factor triangle relates the real power, the reactive power, and the apparent power. (Courtesy of Vector Group) Let’s start by talking about the concept of power factor (PF). Assuming ...
